Anyone updating is still doing it manually. The actual Ford provided USB/OTA update is a few weeks out last I heard.
I did it manually. I'm running sync 3.4

Any word if this update is still coming soon? Also is ForScan required to get climate back ? Or is that only some people .

Have Sync 3.4 build 20021 on an older APIM w/nav installed in my gray 2019.

Probably 70% of time I get a Navigation fault message on startup, yet Nav works perfectly. Thinking its a timing issue in the software and maybe when the official build hits the street, that will eliminate the fault.

I love the UI presented in 3.4, but think I'll leave my blue '19 on 3.3 for now.



Confirmed -- If using the remote to unlock the doors as I walk up to the truck, no Nav fault. If I use the prox/handle to unlock, climb in and start the truck, get the Nav fault every time.

Not sure if Forscan knowledge base has anything on APIM boot timing but I'm sure there's a config setting somewhere!

Finally had enough of the location prompt and overall slowness of 3.3 so I did the update to 3.4 today.

Did a master reset twice, re-added the climate buttons, re-added it to Ford Pass, and everything else appears to be working smoothly. Its a substantial difference in speed. Everything feels much smoother and fluid. Took it for a 30 minute drive and no issues and no more location popups.

Oddly enough, I had no prompt volume issues either even though I haven't got the Waze update with the fix.

Debating doing the update is far scarier than actually doing the update.

I'll update when I know it's actually getting switched on.
With some of the guys manually downloading the software and installing it before Ford officially releases the software, what type of issues/problems with Ford can be encountered? I mean, can Ford see that you now have 3.4 installed when you arent supposed to and void warranty or can it be switched back to 3.3 incase an issue arises or what?

I think I've been as patient as I can be waiting for the 3.4 official update on my 2019. I'm ready to do the update manually myself. Can we get a sticky post with latest instructions? I've looked around on this thread and others on this forum and currently all I can really find is a smattering of "use this link from some other site for F150's", or "I followed these instructions from a guy in Russia"....

Is there a "here is how to manually update to Sync 3.4" post/thread somewhere with latest instructions that I'm just missing?

I used these instructions on friday following the video/detailed instructions and used 2 usb's. Performed the 2 master resets and one more for good measure with no issues so far and its way better than sync 3.3

I've never quite figured out exactly how/when the system updates what SYNC version is installed. On mine, it's still showing previous installs in OASIS even though I've installed newer releases. It may update only with the specific package on the USB/OAT updates...but, not sure.
