2/21 - Sync3 Now Requires Android Version 8.0 or Higher
Multitask replied to NCEcoBoost's topic in SYNC 3 Cell Phones & Technical Assistance
So the car runs fine, but you will not buy it because the app does not work? ugh.... -

Oil life would be nice... but the O, I can look at my car for that. 😎 The Lincoln App for me wasn't working for a while... crash, or it kept thinking I was in Detroit... took them 4 months to get it so it was working again... So maybe in a few months it will for you. -

Probably still using Windows XP, or System 9 -
doubt you'll get a response from Ford on this.... What do you have, what are you attempting to do?
-
it might be 3... it's been a few years since I've done that... like I said, make sure it's USB 2, not 3.... I've tried a few USB3s that I have, and none work... so I always use a USB 2.... slower but it works. Sync 2 can be very picky....

Make sure you are putting the files and folders on a USB 2 flash drive, not a USB 3 drive... there can be issues there. there are 2 files, and one folder also , make sure there is nothing else on it... and it's formatted as fat32 or exFAT

voice recognition not ready 2016 ford sync 3
Multitask replied to 2016fordtaurus's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
Deleting the app, doing a reset of the Sync 3, and reinstalling it might work https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/how-to-master-reset-sync-3-to-setup-activate-ford-pass-app.1859/ From a truck forum, but the same principle applies -
voice recognition not ready 2016 ford sync 3
Multitask replied to 2016fordtaurus's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
Yup, my brain was still thinking of the 2016 from the OP... and yes, a reset, or a visit is needed... Hard to believe it has been that long already... -
voice recognition not ready 2016 ford sync 3
Multitask replied to 2016fordtaurus's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
again... a 2017 will not have Sync 3, unless you did the hardware upgrade.... Even with that, I've seen that you might have to install the files again... or it was not programed right.... -
The VHR is no more.... Ford got rid of it over a year ago....

SYNC Cell phone connection fails
Multitask replied to richards1052's topic in SYNC 3 Cell Phones & Technical Assistance
Yup, but putting it back will tell him if it's his changes... if it still does not work... then he knows it's not his changes -
3.3 and 3.4 came with the 2019's and beyond (some 2018's) and yes there is a way, but Ford does not cover it. So you would be on your own for that if you decide to go that route. and now the 2021/22's will be 4.0 (TBD on which ones) Oh, and as far as WiFi, just go into the settings and turn off the Wifi, or at least the requesting to use it. 😎

Download the file unZIP the file to where you know it is. you should get 1 file that has content, and 1 file that is a 0K file ( both are ok ). autoinstall.lst and DONOTINDX.MSA then you should get a SyncMyRide folder with files in it, leave them all alone. If you are on a Mac, it will work, you just need to Create the SyncMyRide folder and drag the contents of the SyncMyRide\filename.tar..... (etc) files into it, and rename them to just the file names, minus the SyncMyRide\. (don't do anything to the other 2 files) On Windows it seems to be ok when unpacking the .zip file you get from Ford/Lincoln On a USB stick (some have luck with 3.0 sticks, most have better luck with 2.0 sticks, what ever works for you). format is exFAT (Or Fat32) ONLY have the 2 files and the folder (with other files) on it... it is safer this way. (do this in an open area so you don't get exhaust) insert the USB stick, start your car... let it got for 20-30 minutes (or till it tells you it is ok to take out the flash drive, you can leave it in there long after just in case) You might have to open the door, and wait a minute then close it.... it should finish, and the verion should show up.... sometimes it takes a minute or two to show up (being you started with 3.0, it will stay 3.0. just the revision will change (3.0.xxxxx to 3.0xxxxxx)

As troubleshooting, put it to the stock config, and see if you have any issues... if not then YES
