The zoom/magnification button wasn't selected. Glad to know its there though! That thing really brings it in close. The white circled area are my painted curb numbers. Before the update, you could make them out clearly what they were. Now, quite pixelated. Neighbors cars across the street are in less detail. Even the shadows of the leaves don't seem as clear. But its all still perfectly good to spot cars or the neighborhood kids running around.

Obviously this is an annoyance, but its still perfectly good for what it does. Just this Ranger had the clearest rear view camera of any vehicle I've driven with before, and now it's behind my wife's 17 Fusion. Only thing that changed, was the update.

On mine the Zoom button seems to focus in on the trailer hitch.

I guess it's there to assist in hooking up?

That's my guess as well. I had no idea if it was there before, but knowing it is now will be fantastic for future needs. I just don't have a receiver in normally.

I agree, that's what I use it for. Works great just zoo in when you get close.

Yes, it's been there since the beginning

I tried to get a download link on my phone for USB install and it worked. For those of you that want to download here is the link they gave me from my phone using LTE, using wifi keeps giving me error from the Ford site. Don't know how long this link will be viable. This if for XLT without navigation, with heated seats FYI.

Fixing prior post. This appears to be only for a Non-Nav. It's only for the one type of update.

Had a chance to play with Sync 3.4 while driving. I play my music from a USB, and am unable to search. Keep getting message that “browsing is unavailable now”. While the truck is moving, I get this message when trying to search:

Anyone else?

Only while driving? It's locked out now for manual browsing for the driver distraction rules. You can browse by voice, but you should be as specific as possible as the steps you can do via touch after the command are still limited, e.g. pages scrolling.

Yep, “searching” gives me that message in the photo while driving. “Browsing” the USB device tells me it’s unavailable both parked and while driving, and whether the engine is on or off.

OK, if it’s all the time then it’s possible it’s indexing. That would disable the browse capability too. If it doesn’t go away, you can try forcing a re-index of the device.

I am not really seeing a reason to do the update? I like the black night background and it looks like that is gone. Seems hit or miss on the clarity of the reverse camera? Are there any added features?

I really like the look of the 3.4 update but I am just really pissed I lost my climate controls. The physical controls on the dash are a pain in the butt to see during the day so I used the touchscreen exclusively. Otherwise, I think it is a worthwhile update.

Nevermind that you can't control even half the functions without the touchscreen, dual climate mode, vent location, etc.

Me too. Even when I'm parked. The only thing it will do with my USB stick of music is play all. Everything else I try says browsing is disabled.
