UBS Skipping & Bad Media
Multitask replied to wishitwouldwork's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Media Players & Technical Assistance
There can still be a DRM on them, even if you get them from a 'legal' site.... The ones that play just fine, I suppose you got them legitimately, and or ripped them your self? -
UBS Skipping & Bad Media

By chance are any of the mp3's protected.... i.e. purchased.... if so then that is why they were passed on (skipped) -

Keeping Bluetooth "Selected" when not connected
Multitask replied to uu3's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
already has been talked about , do a search. -
For Sync 2, the flash drive (thumb drive) should be USB 2 (3 might works but I doubt it). It should be formated as FAT 32, or FATex, Also, if on a Mac, make sure it was formated with MBR on There should be 2-3 files, (one will be 0 size) and a folder with files in it, and nothing else.

Does iPhone 13 work with Sync 2 and Sync 3?
Multitask replied to Mercury1's topic in SYNC 3 Cell Phones & Technical Assistance
Well,,, again, Sync 2, it is hard to say.... I see ones that work, others complain. Sync3 does not seems to have any issues that I'm aware of.... -
Does iPhone 13 work with Sync 2 and Sync 3?
Multitask replied to Mercury1's topic in SYNC 3 Cell Phones & Technical Assistance
MIght want to define what you mean as 'work' Yes the 13 will sync to Sync 3 (unsure about 2, only because bluetooth can be picky), from there it will depend on what features you would want to work? -

Sync 1 can't connect phone
Multitask replied to Perogymcgee's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 General Discussion
Sync 1, may or may not connect to a modern cel phone... it will have to do with the bluetooth of the car and of the phone, and if they are compatible. π -
I've done to see if there is a new version waiting, seems that it is not working correctly. This is what I've gotten for almost a week now. Oops! Something went wrong on our end. A message has been sent to our support team, please try again later.

I changed nothing at my end, and now the page it working... still the same version number, but the file is larger... maybe something changed in one of the file....

Cannot read A7 Nav SD Card
Multitask replied to kdowney500's topic in SYNC 3 Navigation & Technical Assistance
Could be a bad card port.... might want to have a dealer or qualified place look at it... Does you old card work in another vehicle? If it does, then it is definitely a bad card port -
Cannot read A7 Nav SD Card
Multitask replied to kdowney500's topic in SYNC 3 Navigation & Technical Assistance
I was going to say that Sync 3 does not use an SD card for maps.... π Like I said, either your A7 card is corrupt (bogus) , or you need to see if there is an update to the Sync 2 system that would then make it work. 3.10 or 3.11 is what is currant (if I Remember Right) does your old card work? -
Cannot read A7 Nav SD Card
Multitask replied to kdowney500's topic in SYNC 3 Navigation & Technical Assistance
I think for Sync 2 3.08 might not be the latest. IIRC 3.10 or 3.11 is most recent , your A7 card might want the latest. Also , it is a protected card, so a standard reader will not see it correctly. See if your old one still works, and if it does then you might have to update, or got a corrupt card A7. Could also see if it works in another Sync 2 vehicle. π -
Android Apps with Sync 2, any chance ?
Multitask replied to Baz57's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 General Discussion

I go to owner.lincoln.com. log in, then it sends me to https://help.lincoln.com/update-sync/?vin=(my vin) and then I get that error... just got it again... does not matter what browser I use either... At home it is a Mac, at work it is a PC using Win 10 ... so that part does not seem to matter either.... and I'm going to it the same way I've done for 2 years...

Sync 3 - Any Impacts 3G Network Shutdown
Multitask replied to KCWCOWS's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
As far as the .xml file, if you want to wait for it (it is in the root of the flash drive) you can, but it's not a big deal (and I seem to remember that ford no longer allows for uploading those...) it basically told the web site you did it... but I really doubt they care anymore. Especially because they are working more on Sync 4 now. BUT, glad you got the Sync 3 update to work. Current Maps are 2-20 but I think you would now have to pay for those, as only the last couple year cars got them for free. -
Sync 3 - Any Impacts 3G Network Shutdown
Multitask replied to KCWCOWS's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
Ok, so the part that deals with 3g does not apply here The phone disconnecting, could be software driven. BUT know that if upgrading from 1.xxx to 3.xxx does not 'fix' that, it could be defective hardware (the ACM tends to be the culprit) there are to ways to know... upgrade the software (should be done anyway). or have the dealer plug it in and test it... first one is free... the dealer might charge -
Sync 3 - Any Impacts 3G Network Shutdown
Multitask replied to KCWCOWS's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
Best practice is to unplug anything that is connected to the sync unit.... no need to remove the bluetooth, but more so the physical. like ipod, etc... yes it will reboot 2-3 times... possibly more if need be... the whole process might take about an hour... Some people hook up a trickle charger for the battery, some go for a long drive.... just as long as the vehicle is running all that time. π USB that can be used is fine for USB 2 , USB 3 an also be used as long as they are formated as fat32, and MBR ... There should be 2 files and 1 folder with files in it... 1 file will show as 0k in size , it is just a marker to tell the system not to index the drive... -
Sync 3 - Any Impacts 3G Network Shutdown
Multitask replied to KCWCOWS's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
If you think that going to Sync 3 3.xxxxxx will stop your troubles with the 3G modem, it will not.... But if the dealer tells you that you do not have a 3G modem, do you have one at all? If you do not, then updating your Sync 3 to 3.xxxxx will not change anything. π ( from 1.xxxxx) Other than looks and some added 'features' -
Update sync 3 to latest version 3.4 (?)
Multitask replied to lilarlen's topic in SYNC 3 Applink & Technical Assistance
It is not possible to just upgrade the software to go from 3.0 to 3.4 Most of the things you will see are more cosmetic, than functional.... so have them stay at 3.0 It might cost a few hundred dollars to get to 3.4, but then you would not get the automatic updates. Yes, in the long run it can be done, but if your dad needs your help, best to just stick with what he has. 8) -
Doubt they will be back They were last here in 2019
