Swapped from my stock 18 inch lariat wheels to a set of 18 inch takeoffs I bought from a bronco and got the matching ford center caps to match pretty happy with the look ?

2020 Ranger Lariat FX4 SCREW
My Lariat came with the auto fold OE mirrors, so the ClearView's worked perfectly .
Not familiar with the module or how its hooked up....does it use OE wiring or does it "piggy back" onto the wiring ?
Just might be that the ClearView's aren't compatible with an aftermarket module.
It has a wiring harness that piggy backs to the mirror power fold switch and a couple additional wires that will fold the mirrors in when you lock the doors and unfolds them when you either unlock the doors or start the truck. Worked great with factory mirrors, not so much with the Clearview.

If your not aware or didn't look, the ClearView mirrors have their own module, in each mirror, depending on the series. The piggy back module might not be compatible with the ClearView's that are supposed to link up with the OE circuitry

Got a new dedicated USB stick for Soupie's updates. I swear when I don't need a drive they're laying all over the place ... Maybe I'll add it to my key chain with a quick connect.

Anyway, mine's the little Sync 3 non-touch screen with no apps or maps, so the upload is always pretty fast. This one was about 10 minutes and was the 3.4.22251 to 3.4.23188 update.

$9.79 from Amazon and 64 GB - couldn't find a decent brand one in red

without AzScorpion, Soupie's simply filthy ...

seemed to take a bit longer to start (like about 3 minutes)
20231015_145628.jpg


once it started, it took about 4 or 5 more minutes

a minute later - Life! and yuck, look at that dust! where's Dave!?!
20231015_150027.jpg


normal display back ... or is is?
20231015_150039.jpg


as I went into settings, this popped up?!?
20231015_150050.jpg


Phew, completed again! a 2-fer I guess!
20231015_150112.jpg


guess it actually completed. but I didn't do that "turn off ignition and open door step". only the turn off and remove stick, so I didn't have that XML file for proof it did the update (not that I was ever able to upload that file on the Ford.com site anyway)

Installed my expensive new motorcraft wiper blades today. OEM don’t come cheap
OEM wipers are the only part that I wouldn't use IMO...it was the first thing I complained about and replaced them with aftermarket...this is what I use now and it rocks! $35...

What does this update do? I have thumb drives around but it is it worth it to delete their contents for a sync 3 upsate for our Gameboy screens?

I have the same non-touch infotainment screen in my 2019 XLT and I’ve never uploaded a new version of Sync3. Am I missing out on anything important?

My truck’s connected to my phone and FordPass app - would that automatically provide updates?

Aren't the blades different lengths, longer on drivers side than passenger side, mine were from the factory.
