Ah ha. There it is. Been waiting a couple days for it to finally go up. Should be available for USB and dealer update now. OTA hasn’t switched on yet.

Got the update installed.

About 20 minutes total.

Climate controls still there! :like:

But now Carplay will NOT launch. ?

All the mobile apps work (Pandora, iHeart Radio, etc.) but no Carplay.

I removed it and re-added on my phone, all settings are configured for it to launch on connect, but it doesn't even show up on the Home screen.

I'll have to dig into this later.

Edit: It apparently just needed a full shutdown/restart as when I just went back out to the truck and plugged in my phone it came right up.

So far it looks like a very nice update and it does indeed feel snappier.

Unfortunately I had lost climate when I did the cyan update. Using this official update did not restore it. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and get FORScan unless someone comes up with a solution.

Is OTA available or do I need to use a USB stick to download and install?

Mine gave the option of OTA with Wifi.

Don't know if it would work with the built in hotspot though.

I used USB since I have a Sync USB set aside just for updates.

I was able to update to 3.4 and it took about 30 minutes.

I'm not seeing much speed improvement, the UI is obvioulsy different but I'm not sure it's better (need more time with it).

I did see where it reports my Map is 117. It was upgraded to 118 and (I think) 119 (I still have not been able to successfully load the Voice Nav file tho). I'm pretty sure the map is different.....there are some local updates that I have not seen before so I must presume 119 is loaded. Why Sync is reporting 117 is beyond me (that was supposed to be fixed in 3.4!!). I will try a master reset but I am not convinced Ford has a robust enough map load routine (I've had nothing but incomplete results).
