I'd be happy if we got the update to fix the stuttering voice

It looks so much cleaner and modern. While an upgrade would be nice, I am fine with Sync 3 as I use Carplay 99% of the time.

There's a Sync 3.4 update out there in the wild, I've updated my RS with it (from 3.0, which shouldn't be possible but it is :) ) and it looks kinda-ish like 4, but still no wireless carplay/android auto, that requires a hardware upgrade. The Ranger WILL get this upgrade at least.

Had MyFordTouch on my 2011 Edge. By 2011, playing MP3's shouldn't have been an issue...except for MFT. One version would shuffle MP3's fine...the next update it would break it. Continual cycle

I'm downloading it now. Did you notice any new problems?

You're downloading 3.4? From the owner.ford.com website or from unofficial channels?

I haven't installed it on my Ranger yet, but in my RS it actually felt faster to respond and I haven't had any issues at all.

yeah, car companies really haven't gotten a hang of how to deal with consumer electronics yet

Not from Ford. Just wanted to see if the Ranger would accept the update. Probably won't but thought I might try anyway. I guess you didn't try it on your Lariat.

I'm confident you can autoinstall the 3.4 update in the Ranger, but haven't tried it yet. Looks like our Russian friends have found a newer build (19274 5U5T-14G381-CJ) of 3.4 than what I have (19200 5U5T-14G381-CD) in my RS. Hopefully the official release isn't too far out. @UofMEngineer ? :D

Especially navigation. When I had my Fusion years ago, there were streets that were there for years. You use to have to pay for updates which came on a flash drive. I got the latest update and it was still not updated. I called the rep, we'll give you another update that is coming out for free. No freebies after that. New update, still no good. They are useless.
If they'd get their stuff from Garmin, Garmin has in house cartography.
. You call them, explain the street issue and they update it. In less than a month, the update was there....
To this day, the Ford nav, its still not updated on the Ranger for that street. . If it wasn't for me getting tired of GPS units bouncing around on the dash, I would have found one without it.

I just purchased a 2019 Ford Ranger with Sync 3 three months ago in July and I won’t be able to upgrade to the latest and greatest Sync 4?

An iPhone SE with iOS 9.3 from 2016 can upgrade to iOS 13 released on September 2019. My laptop from 2014 with Windows 8 was able to upgrade to Windows 10.

If true, not a good decision Ford!
