Hi johnny h. According to Ford, the scanning and/or the process of downloading SYNC 3 updates via WiFi can continue for up to 30 minutes after the vehicle/engine is turned off. Good luck.

Hello, I am having similar issues. I bought a 2014 F250 6.2 super duty lariat, and I had to buy the sync card from Ford because it was taken out from whoever at the car lot. So I just got it and plug it in and try to find it ony screen and even went to begin software insulation and get the message FILE NOT FOUND Please check that the installation file is in the root directory of your storage... What does that mean and how do I get it there?? Lol. Thank you

I have the same issue on a 2013 Ford Escape Titanium, my navigation disappeared. I thought it was a issue with the SD map card so I went to the Ford Dealer who looked up my vehicle and sold me a new card which I tried to install at the dealership to no avail. The tech came out and messed with the sync but couldn't get it to work and than said that I must not have navigation on my vehicle. My question is if I don't have navigation why does it show in my Sync app under Software Licenses with a Install Updates button, Navigation/16777215, Expiration Date None, Remaining Uses Unlimited?

Sync 2 touch screen not responsive
jpohlman replied to Sean0137's topic in SYNC 1 & 2 Applink & Technical Assistance
If you're referring to the MFT 8" screen it should as long as the APIM isn't defective. -

I would post this on FMods, they tend to be deeper in the weeds on changing things at a low level.

Is there a way to find the POIS file? Is there a way to add custom POIS to sync 3.4?

On 4/5/2024 I ordered map update A15 (PN GM5T-19H449-AJ) from Ford/HERE for my 2013 Flex. I received, installed, and tested it on 4/11/2024 without any problems. Per Ford/HERE's web site: "This v15 map update (released in 2024) will be the final version released. It will remain available while supplies last." Here is the link to the web site: https://ford.navigation.com/product/Catalog/U-S-AND-CANADA-SYNC-2-NAVIGATION-SYSTEM-MAP-UPDATE-VERSION-A15/sku/GM5T-19H449-AJ/en_US/FordNA/USD

I tried this solution and it still doesn't work. So as long as it works from my phone I will not be worried... -
Ford pass app not showing up on my sync 3 screen !!
jpohlman replied to skullmurphy's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
Basically no FordPass apps were ever really developed https://fpcommunity.ford.com/t5/Help/What-do-I-do-if-FordPass-doesn-t-appear-in-the-Mobile-apps/ta-p/72 -
Ford pass app not showing up on my sync 3 screen !!
skullmurphy replied to skullmurphy's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
Thanks for the reply jpohlman, I am on build 20204, I just got off of the phone with Ford Pass and they said the APIM was most likely a new one and that it will no longer have the Pass app on the screen. As long as my iphone has the app and everything is working properly i.e. remote start, lock and unlock doors from the phone then it is working properly and Ford has removed the app for some reason. I am fine with that. -
Ford pass app not showing up on my sync 3 screen !!
jpohlman replied to skullmurphy's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
Have you tried downloading Fordpass from the Play Store and connecting to the vehicle? What build of Sync3 are you currently on? -

Hello all, I haven't posted here in a while but I have a slight problem. I have a 2018 Ford Explorer XLT with SYNC 3 and this past Janurary I had to have the APIM replaced under warranty, and since then when I connect my iphone I don't see the Ford Pass App under the Apps. It shows Ford Alexa but not the Ford Pass. From what I remember the old APIM it showed the App. Is there something missing? I have not contacted Ford yet, but thought I would post here. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

jlappitt started following Sync 1 upgrade to most modern Sync in 2013 Ford Edge
-
I feel like I’m hitting my head against a wall… from all of the research I’ve done in regards to upgrading the sync1 4-inch screen in my 2013 Ford Edge SEL, I keep getting to the same conclusion…it seems so risky and COMPLICATED. The biggest complication is that most new aftermarket stereo kits do not support the SEL 4-inch screen upgrade because this model has dual zone climate control which apparently makes this upgrade impossible. I’m also unsure of which modern sync system will work in my vehicle…and they all seem very pricy! does anybody have guidance for me? thanks in advance, Jeremy

SOLVED Sometimes putting a problem into words leads you to the solution. So there is a "Part of a Compilation" in the windows user-accessible meta data too! (I was careful not to select this in the Itunes song info, but didn't know it was in windows too.) So ironically if I choose "no" on all the various artists songs they show up in the correct folder sequence when browsing thru genres on Sync1. Yay!!!

Steveromo started following Various Artist Albums Not Correct in Genres

I recently had to retire my 2015 Explorer and took over a 2016 Edge. The original Sync in my Explorer worked fine with my music library on a 32gig USB Flash drive. But there is a quirk using that same drive in my 2016 Edge. The quirk is... I have organized my hundreds of albums into genres on my PC's itunes, and copied them onto my flash drive. (The reason: If I'm in a the mood for Hard Rock, I can explore artists like Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Van Halen, etc. grouped together instead of arrowing down thru my ENTIRE collection alphabetically.) On my Edge, albums that are compilations by various artists ("70's Heavy Metal" or "Grunge Rock") are not listed among other albums in the Hard Rock genre -- only the artists are listed along with ALL the artists in that genre! This is a quirk that probably only I would even notice but it has been how I've searched for music to listen to for years. What's frustrating is that my older Explorer worked with this feature but the newer Edge does not. I've tweaked the metadata on these albums (the stuff I can access with Windows,) but no luck. My Sync1 version is 5.9. I see there's a 5.11 but I don't know how to get it and I'm not sure that fix would be in it anyway. I downloaded an update a few years ago but I'm not sure what version it is and I'm hesitant to mess with it until I'm sure it's good... So... 1. Any suggestions on fixing the Genres/Various Artists issue? 2. How do I identify the version number of the update I downloaded before? 3. Where can I find a reliable version of 5.11? Thanks in advance for any replies!

Albums/Songs No Longer in Order
jpohlman replied to Chris109's topic in SYNC 3 Media Players & Technical Assistance
While you're playing from the device, go to the Sync3 media player app and select re-index, then unplug the device. After the next ignition cycle Sync3 will perform a reindex of the device. This can also be a symptom of the rwdata partition on the APIM filing up, if you are on 3.4.x, this bug got introduced in .22251 and the latest version .23188 fixes the bug. -
USB Music Metadata
jpohlman replied to cbertra70's topic in SYNC 3 Media Players & Technical Assistance
Are you using MP3s or ? File structure should be Directory named Music in the root And then either an additional path of /Artist/Album/<with the file here> or just /Artist/<with the file here> or /Album/<with the file here> It only loads one album art and that would be named cover.jpg, it would go in the directory with the files, if Sync3 can't find album art it does a best guess from the loaded GraceNotes db. If you use something like MP3tag it will show you the actual tags, what Windows shows is not always a readable tag. -
Issues with Sync 3 on 20202 Ford Edge
jpohlman replied to Rick D.'s topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
What you have are the symptoms of the rwdata partition filling up bug that got introduced with .22251. If you update to .23188 via a USB you're problems should go away. -
That is completely normal. A Sync update won't give you controls that weren't there before. Ford removed the climate screen after the 2016MY on the Fiesta/Focus/Kuga/CMax/BMax & Escape. You can enable it using ForScan in the APIM AsBuilt mode.
