Ford Officially Releases Sync 3 v3.4 Build 20282

[DHH]

I have seen it take a week or even longer for the Ford Owner website to reflect the update has been installed.

FYI, on Ford.ca, they ask that you update their records for them.

Keep checking over the next few days/week or so. I believe it is a phased rollout of the update.

I'm sure your truck will be eligible for the update

One thing I’m noticing is that Sirius Channels are much slower to update than 3.3 - at least in my experience. Channel logos updated pretty fast in the last version but now it’s painfully slow. I’m guessing because of the addition of album art but I hope they update. My wife’s explorer doesn’t update so she drives around with logos from channels that haven’t been around for a while.

I found that formatting to NTFS and 4096k allocation size has helped this, actually almost eliminated it completely. Since most MP3s I have are between 3-4 mb, this will keep fragmentation down and make the read quicker, in theory, anyways.

You can use this PowerShell script to see your allocation size, w/your USB plugged in to your computer, of course.

Get-Volume | Format-List FileSystemType, AllocationUnitSize, FileSystemLabel

Thanks! I'll give that a try. Mine's FAT32 currently.

I am sad to report that 3.4 is slower to boot than the old 3.3 and that day mode on XM radio scrambles the display while scrolling channels. Despite the long wait this is not a finished piece of software

Slower boot than 3.3 is normal from everything that was added to 3.4, like the diagnostics and such. What do you mean by scrambles the display?

For me - sometimes the display colors are very... wrong. Font colors (dark gray instead of white) are wrong, it’s a mix of day and night color schemes and doesn’t “fix” itself unless I go in and select a new day time wallpaper.

Well that's...strange, to say the least. Can you grab a photo? Also, for grins you can try a master reset if you want. No idea if it'd help though.

It doesn’t happen every time but I’ll snap a picture the next time it happens.

Updated mine today, Finally! Absolutely no issues during or after upgrade (so far) love the updated look.

FYI I did use my Mac for the update, no issue might be worth noting I used the unarchiver instead of Stuff it.

I had the same issue, setting to dark mode instead of auto fixes that and the screen garble while scrolling xm stations.

Installed this Tuesday. I swear that it has night and day mode reversed. I get black in the day and blue at night. Anyone else having that issue? Or know of a way to fix it?

Also, is the download specific to you VIN? Company in my office building has a 19 XLT, and I was going to give them the USB to update their truck

Yes the downloads are VIN specific.

My 2019 F150 Platimun and 2019 Ranger XLT both had updates to v3.4 Build 20282. Zip files had the exact same file name.

However the F150 had 2 additional large files (Gracenotes and NA Language Pack) that the Ranger did not. Took over an hour to update the F150 vs 20 minutes to update the Ranger.
