I did this in two phases.
1. Updated to 3.4.21020 that was downloaded from the Ford site, that went just over 25 minutes.
2. Used the Syn3 Updater from Cyanlabs to go to 2 20 maps.
If you do this, be sure and update this tool with your current SYNC version...

Don't ask how many times it went from D to N on the interstate, thinking I was in S.
(Sport mode on the Taco did almost nothing., so it was hard to...
I’ll add one more data point here:
1. Was already at 3.4.20282, but had long tone on voice button.
2. 1/19/21 - Checked Ford site with my VIN, stated there was an update
3. Downloaded update, still missing CM file.
4. Used the VIN from post #206
5. Downloaded update again with above VIN. Now...
