Ok so I downloaded onto a new 64 3.0 flash drive and installed. Took 3 times but it finally worked and said update completed. Still says 18 in version though. I have no way of knowing if it made it.

Highly likely it did. v3.3 has a bug where the nav data version string isn't updating. You can check what's actually installed in the diagnostics menu real quick just to confirm.

Did it restart even once? Have you tried a different thumb drive?

I got the LST_ERR05, went back to the download page and found a new license file available. Tried installing with that, now I have a SIGN_ERR01. This is such a sh*t show.

Did you dump the new license file in /SyncMyRide folder? How soon is it throwing that error? Can't think of anything off hand that should throw a signing error.

Yep, so it has that bug. When you update to 3.4, hopefully soon, it'll clear up and show the right version number.

It comes up immediately. I can certainly think of something--a bad signature. :-D

I'll probably try rewriting everything again, but my excitement level is pretty low by now.

Hah, indeed. Try re-downloading the license file as well just for grins.

Quick question. When it's updating the software, it should say "Updating System Software" up top the whole time, correct? (See example picture)

I see it for a brief moment on my display and then it goes back to displaying the time.

The USB became very hot to the touch after a while. It's a Sandisk Extreme pro 3.0

I used it before on my last update.

You do not have the file structure correct in the USB. The software is very intolerant of any structure errors such as duplicate files, extra files or misplaced files. If done correctly the updating system software will remain on for the duration of the install, which takes ~ 57-60 minutes. Others here stated just under an hour but someone stated 90 minutes.
1. File structure- USB drive, formatted exfat, labeled SyncMyRide

1. File structure- USB 3.0 drive, formatted exfat, labeled SyncMyRide
2. File structure-The root of the USB drive should contain 2 files and one folder named SyncMyRide. The files are named autoinstal,lst and dontindex.msa
3. File structure- The Sync my ride folder should contain 15 tar files, one of which is the license file. The easiest way to ID the license file is its size. It is 2KB

I really did not notice any file name changes in the diag screen in either SW versions or APIM/IVSU versions. At the very end there is a short flash saying it is ok to remove the drive then it reboots. There is another very short flash saying software updated.
* I used the USB port closet to the driver- turned off auto off feature, turned of auto stop feature and most importantly sat at the beach watching people walk and surfers sailboard while it worked.
IMO, a very clunky procedure with lack of clarity to install.

I have NA 118 and used the website to see if a new version was available. It said it was and I followed the instructions exactly and ensured I had the correct file structure. Other than the system saying for a brief moment it was doing an update, nothing happened. I let the engine run for over an hour. Finally, I decided I spent enough of the Ranger's life doing a map update and turned off the engine and checked the version screen - no changes. I tried again and the same result. The message appeared an update was in progress, and then nothing happened. I did not wait this second time. I turned off the vehicle. I looked on the Website to see if could tell what version should be loaded, and the site is down for maintenance. Does anyone know what map version is displayed after this latest update? Maybe my issue is that no update is required since I did one in January this year ?

Sync 3.3 has an issue where it reports the map as being 118 even though it may have been updated to 119. I updated my map earlier this year as well and I'm sure it was 119. You may have as well.

So I had the same issue and tried twice. Before coming to the forum I went ahead and ordered the $40 USB drive from Ford. I will try that today and let you know if by chance anything runs different.
