Hey bbf2530 I just checked my sync version and it is Build 23219 so I am good. Thanks ...

Thank You bbf2530 and ShelbyGT350 for you replys. I will look up the version now and let you know...

Also I would like to remind folks that Im a top content contributor for HERE oem nav maps for USA and Canada, so if theres any missing road, parking lot, house numbers, businesses addesses, 3D buildings or whatever you needed added, just pm me the google satellite link. It takes 1 whole year to finally show up in an update so the sooner the better!

no dont panic, its nothing to do with APIM, ford discontinued their applink service which is why that "mobile apps" page looks blank now. what i dislike about fordpass app now is if you dont have an EV or remote start, that app doesnt show anything about vehicles anymore. before accuweather used to have an applink as well.

took me 7 mins to get everything installed. I think this is the foundation before the map update which is coming next week.

Hi skullmurphy. It was a quick one. The installation took about 15-20 minutes for me. The way to determine if the installation was successful is easy. Just go into the settings on your SYNC screen and look at the "About SYNC" settings to see what version is now installed. If it shows SYNC version 23219, you are good. Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Hi bbf2530, I just seen your post, and I just installed the new update. How long did it take you to do the install? It took approx. 5 minutes for the install for me. I was just wondering.../

Hi gang. See the link below for the latest SYNC 3 NAV map update information, as listed on the Ford and Lincoln SYNC 3 NAV map update websites: https://syncnavigation.com/lincoln/home https://syncnavigation.com/ford/home SYNC 3 NAV map updates are normally released later in the calendar year, but it seems the next one will be available earlier. Good luck. 🍻

Hi ShelbyGT350. Unfortunately, Ford does not provide release notes for updates. At least not easily discoverable ones. At this point in time, the rare SYNC v3.0.xxxxx updates we get will most likely only be to address bug fixes, new iOS and Android OS releases etc. It is doubtful there will be be new/observable features. What I can tell you is...I installed the update three days ago. The installation went well. And my SYNC 3.0 system, which has always operated well, is still running the same. No observable changes. Perhaps another member will have more insider information and jump in to help. Good luck.

just noticed it and came here, what has changed?

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.

Hi jpohlman. Great information! Thanks for the update and 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

Sync v3.0.23219 dropped on 04/27/2024.

Hi, Quick question... does scanning for updates continue after I switch my van off? Thanks

What build level of MFT is your unit on? For maps after A8 the unit needs to be on 3.08, the final was 3.10. If you go to owner.ford.com, what build does it show you at? Have you performed a master reset since you got the new card?

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?

Not surprising, the last vehicle to roll off the line with MFT was in 2016.

The module needs the asbuilt config for your vehicle loaded into it. A Focus is close, but not quite the same.

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...

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
