  1. Sync3 Issues

    Just jumping in with a +1 that I’m also having this issue with my 2019 Lariat. I’m just under 50k miles now, had my battery replaced earlier in the year, and this issue started for me a few weeks ago. I just updated to the latest official build from Ford (23188) via USB and am hoping that this...
  2. Walker Texas Ranger

    Spotted in northern Virginia. Someone has a sense of humor.
  3. Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

    I've also been seeing a totally blank screen from time to time. I reboot the SYNC system (hold power+FF) and my phone. Upgrading didn't cause me to lose CarPlay. If anything, my cabled iPhone experience is now better since I no longer get constant pop-ups telling me to "attach a device" or...
  4. Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

    Yeah, I was thinking along those same lines. The physical controls, which do exactly the same thing, are just a few inches below the Sync screen. I don't get why anyone would consider this to be a blocker to upgrading, but, to each their own. :)
  5. Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

    I don't. The Sync QA team are almost certainly testing against an assumed-static configuration, not one that's been modified by customer end-users who have been playing around with their settings using Forscan. I'm assuming that the reason I have never lost my heated seat control icons on my...
  6. Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

    I don't have or use Forscan. Yes, I never lost the heated seat icons from my display, probably because I didn't apply the update prior to this latest one that broke that.
  7. Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

    Nope, just a straight upgrade via USB thumb drive.
  8. Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

    I just updated to 3.4 (v3.4.20282) via USB, and did not get an XML file written to the USB drive following the update. However, after re-checking for updates online, Ford seems to already know that I have the new version installed, so I'm not going to sweat being unable to upload an XML file for...
  9. LightForce Switch Fascia for REDARC/Auxiliary Switches

    The hand mic for the ICOM ID-5100 (and I believe several other radios they make) use RJ45. I'm not sure if there is a speaker mic available for that radio.
  10. Anyone installing CB/ Ham radio and/or NMO antenna mount on your new Ranger?

    The main body of the radio sits under the driver's seat, and the head unit is wired up into the tray on the dash. This is for an ICOM ID-5100, which comes with a cable long enough to run up to the dash from under the seat.
  11. Amateur Radio/Antenna Installations

    I'm honestly not sure how to describe how I got my tray back in, other than "shoving and swearing". I did take it all the way out at some point. If there's some expert out there who knows the trick to make this simple, I'd love to see how that's done.
  12. Anyone installing CB/ Ham radio and/or NMO antenna mount on your new Ranger?

    If that’s your call sign, then your amateur radio license is good until 2027. No excuses, get a radio in your Ranger.
  13. R A N G E R tailgate letters added

    Going for classy/subtle here, and just matching the chrome trim. Went with BDTrims chrome raised. I think I'll do the front with the flat black fill from Bogar Tech Designs.
  14. Anyone installing CB/ Ham radio and/or NMO antenna mount on your new Ranger?

    Some hood lip mounts, like the one I used, have a thin section of cable specifically to address that problem.
  15. Anyone installing CB/ Ham radio and/or NMO antenna mount on your new Ranger?

    I want to like this. However, in the short time I've had my antenna installed on this truck, I've realized that the lip mount was probably the better choice for me, as I am in a parking structure daily for work. The NMO lip mount on the driver side hood is convenient for swapping out my daily...
  16. Amateur Radio/Antenna Installations

    I managed to get my tray back in almost like new (just a little dip/gap in the front middle), but it involved a lot more shoving and swearing than I expected. I have a couple of replacement trays which I ordered from my dealership - one for possibly re-working my ID-5100 mount, and another to...
  17. Dashboard Tray Modifications

    I'm probably that guy. I had a "professional" audio installation shop do that part of the work for me, and to be honest, I'm not super happy with it. The tray does not properly seat following removal, so I had my dealership purchase a couple of replacement part trays from Ford, and I'm going to...
  18. TSB: SSM 47844 - 2019 Ranger - SYNC 3 - SYNC Wi-Fi Message - Network Connection Needed

    I turned off auto updates. I also updated Sync via USB, and didn't turn auto updates back on after that. Honestly, the USB-based updates are easy enough to do, I don't see where I need OTA updates, especially if they are buggy.
