Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

A system reset/boot should get everything working. That's a simultaneous push of the radio power and fast forward buttons.

Won’t help in this case. It seems to need to re-index to clear it up.

I switched to the Lincoln theme and selected the darkest option. I turned off “Auto” and run it in “Night” mode all the time. I love it.

You do it with forscan? Supposedly its different in 3.4, I was going to look into it this weekend.

Yes, using FORScan. There is a post in this thread, I believe, detailing which option to change. It has been a few days and I can't recall the name. I can check next time I hook up my PC if I need to.

I think I found the post (#990). Looks like they didn't have to modify the as-built, they just did it in the module configuration.

Yes. Meant to mention that.

3.3 had better colors all together. The blue looks gaudy with the interior. I may have to buy a forscan adapter and try the Lincoln setup.

Is there anyway to downgrade back to 3.3?

Thanks Clump, reindexing did it.
Any way to search while moving?
on a long drive this won't work.

depends on how you use it. even before it disappeared, I never used that screen (auto mode + hard buttons sufficed). so for me, it's NBD. if you use that screen a lot I guess you'll need to figure something out.

Yeah, I had only had the truck for two days and I was actually using the climate screen quite a bit. Hopefully I get it fixed before winter, because I want to be able to focus the heat to the floors. Can’t stand warm air in my face even when it’s cold. I’m hoping to find someone in Colorado Springs with FOrscan capabilities to help me fix the climate issue. I reached out to Andy but haven’t heard back yet

Voice Control is available while moving.

Not really. While moving, browse gives you the current playlist. You can use voice, but you'll still be limited in the number of pages you can scroll so your mileage may vary on how well that works for you. And, if you hit the back button it'll kick you out of the browse menu.

How does one reindex?

Please post pics of Lincoln theme.

THis is what it looks like.
I just did it over lunch, much nicer looking. Not my pic, pics werent taking right because of the bright sunlight.
I tried to get the "Black Label" splash screen but couldnt get it configured right. But currently there is not a splash screen, just boots in and out of sync. Which I think I like better.

The default ford bright white and blue is easier to read in direct sunlight, just thought I should point that out.

Does anyone know how to change the default screen when Sync loads after updating to 3.4?

In 3.3 it would default back to whatever screen it had been on when turned off. I almost always have it on the nav screen, since my media info is in the right dash screen. Now on 3.4 it defaults to home every time I start up the truck and I have to click "nav" which is annoying.

If there's no factory option for this, is there a FORScan one?
