For MFT maps A10 and above you have to be on v3.8 or higher. If you use a random VIN for say a 2015 Escape TI that you find on CarFax and go to syncmyride.com you should see 3.10 offered along with the instructions if it hasn't been upgraded. I just tried this and was able to pull it down. You need to do a master reset when you cross the A10 line as Ford changed the format of the NAV cards to exFat from FAT32, if you don't you have late voices (eg the turn instruction say 30 seconds after the screen showed to do it).

Ford pass app not showing up on my sync 3 screen !!
jpohlman replied to skullmurphy's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
Depending on the TCU in the car you also get TPMS state/Remote lock/unlock/start and vehicle location with map. I pulled the H series from my 2018 Fusion and dropped in one from a 2020 F150 and picked up some functionality. -
Sync 3.0.23219 is now showing on syncmyride.com
jpohlman replied to jpohlman's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
I'm going to hazard a guess that this is a final leveling with 3.4.x since the build date is not quite a month after the last released 3.4.x version. Other than the app, this brings GraceNote and Voices to the same level as the last 3.4.x update. According to the NAV site the NA223 maps should drop on or about Monday 5/13/24. -

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.

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 -

Have you tried downloading Fordpass from the Play Store and connecting to the vehicle? What build of Sync3 are you currently on? -
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.

Have you uninstalled FordPass and reinstalled it rather than just deleting the vehicle?

2023 SYNC 3 NAV map update now available.
jpohlman replied to bbf2530's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
This comes down to year and model, the MKZ and Fusion got 5 iterations of free maps with the 1st one being whatever was loaded on the APIM when shipped. Other 2020MY models only got 3 and recently I saw that on some 2024's Ford had cut it to 1. The subscription is based on 1st iteration of the map being purchased, not the calendar date. So if you bought a 5 year subscription to get NA2.22 today you would get NA222, NA223, NA224, NA225 & NA226. If Ford were to drop NA223 a month after you bought your subscription, you would have to fight with them to give you an extra year as these are actually owned by TeleNAV. You also can't switch regions, so if you were to export the car from the US to say Brazil you would have to buy a new subscription. -
The screen does not turn off
jpohlman replied to otmar.juh1@kanet.si's topic in SYNC 3 General Discussion
Did you do a master reset after you upgraded from Sync 3.0.x to 3.4.x ? -
Ok, here's the problem... 2013 Edge is not Sync 3 or even Sync 2, it's My Ford Touch, the last version for that was 3.10 If your screen is divided into 4 quadrants (phone, climate, audio, NAV/ball compass) or you have a label; "Sync powered by Microsoft" you have MFT. Sync 3 was introduced on some models in 2016 (eg Escape, F150) and other models in 2017 (eg Fusion). Go to the General button on the home screen then hit About Sync If you have Sync 3 lower than v3.2.x the highest level offered by Ford for your vehicle is v3.0.20204. If you have Sync 3 higher than v3.2.x the highest level offered by Ford is v3.4.23188 Now the question, "can I go from 3.0.x to 3.4.x", officially through Ford the answer would be NO. That said you can use Cyanlabs updater at your own risk, just remember that a dealer is not going to be able to troubleshoot a bad upgrade, nor will you be able to pull updates directly from Ford's site as you will no longer be on a supported version.

Latest map update is ignored? No error?
jpohlman replied to rburch05's topic in SYNC 3 Navigation & Technical Assistance
The other thing to watch with map updates especially is that you'll lose the "Updating System Software" if you touch any of the screen controls while it's running even though it's not done. The last NA2.22 Ford official update actually had a false "you can remove USB" message, the first part of the update only did a few files then the APIM would reboot and continue the update. If you pulled the stick it never gave any message that the update was incomplete. -
You'll find a list of stations here for your area. https://hdradio.com/ In my area there is only one HD AM radio station, while there are 15+ FM.
