the other day, Ford updated my sync, it is now 3.4 and my map is updated. So I did not have to do anything. It just updated
Map updates are a separate update. Maybe just the display are what updated.

Did it work before the update?
What version is installed?
Did you upgrade via wifi, Ford USB process, or Cyan Labs?

It worked before update. Not exactly sure on version think it’s 3.4 and updated via Wi-Fi last weekend. Only noticed it driving to work in AM it too bright at least I can turn off the screen still

If it were mine, I would pull the fuse that controls sync, or disconnect the battery for a short time to get the hardware to reset.

You can also try doing a master reset which sometimes cures issues, but then you’ll have to redo any customized options/settings, etc.

If you disconnect the battery, then check the owners manual for things to be aware of when you change the battery (such as having to reset the auto up/down driver’s window).

You can't adjust the brightness with the headlights in the "off" position. Turn them on (auto should work too I think) and try again. Also I can't recall if that was one of the settings tied to the vehicle in motion or not, so keep that in mind too.

That didn’t work. I messed around with Forscan last weekend for the first time is it possible there’s something in there that could of done it?

I guess I learned something today. Went back to mine and with the headlight switch in OFF, the setting does indeed get grayed out. Mine is always in AUTO and I never thought about it.

The only thing I know of in 21194 was it fixed an issue introduced with 21020 where TravelLink wasn't showing traffic conditions on the nav map.

Previously TravelLink (weather radar) would only work less than 1/2 the time so that sounds good to me.
