Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

[GT5050]

Downloaded mine today and installed. Other than the looping finish/restart sequence all went fine. Nice to bring my Ranger up to 3.4, I’ve gotten used to it in many of the other vehicles I drive, so the 3.3 felt dated.

Mine is a non-Nav version, and I have zero issues with climate. Full functionality, including the “dual” section as well as heated seats on the home screen and in the “additional controls” accessed from the menu button in climate

You can't change the vent selection (auto uses a mixture of head and feet), you also can't enable/disable DUAL mode (as soon as the passenger climate changes it is in dual mode).

Those are the key things I've found you absolutely *cannot* do without the SYNC UI.

My update had all of the above

Quite a few have, but many have been plagued with the issue that I have, where the climate UI is completely missing with the 3.4 update.

Yep. But some are saying that even if you get the climate UI you don’t get full functionality. On mine everything works as it should. Don’t know what would be different but UofM probably does

Show us a video of how you change your vents to blow air through the windshield defrost vents and floor at the same time, without using the climate controls on the SYNC screen. Then another video showing how you turn off the dual climate control mode after your passenger changes their temp to something different from the driver.

Through all of this, I did find that holding in the auto button on the panel for a few seconds will take it out of dual mode! A lot easier to use sync screen now that it has been restored!

Correct, holding auto *should* restore HVAC to the stored "preferred" setting for the currently in use key. My mustang had the same feature and it was so hit/miss on when/whether it worked I almost never used it after a while. I don't generally trust that it's going to work now either.

I checked my USB this morning, this is what is on it, no XML file to signal it actually finished. It ran for over 2 hours I guess I pulled it early?? Seems to me it was just looping.

contents of interlog... folder all exactly the same.

Yep, they still haven't added the Delay option, so if you don't pull it when it restarts itself it just keeps running the XML tool.

If pulling it out after two hours is to early, I need to have a chat with my wife.

The XML file should be in your SyncMyRide folder.

The XML file should be in your SyncMyRide folder.

sorry I forgot to paste that, it's not there either

Ok, I have two questions and the answer to the first will impact the second:

Can Sync 3.4 be installed for those of us who have the 4.2" screen? If yes, then.....

I am either FORSCAN illiterate or am more anxious of F'ing it up, but is this as "easy" as it looks from those of you who have done this so far?

If the answer to Q1 is no, then I need to wait to save up for the 8" screen upgrade.

There is an equivalent release for the smaller system, yes. Run your VIN, should be there. I think I found one yesterday.

Thanks!! Now if I could only get my FordPass to work again. Won't connect to my truck via my phone, even though BT is working. That FP app drives me crazy sometimes.

FORScan adapter came today. Climate controls restored. Happy wife now.
