Thanks. Maybe it’s an M1 thing

Next time will try it using built-in extractor again, and if that fails will try it on my iMac instead. Am determined to find out what’s going on
Only way I could get it to work was to create the SyncMyRide folder, put all the files in it and rename all the files by removing “SyncMyRide\” from the beginning.

Still no new Sync update for me, only another maps update.

Updated mine today.. download, unzipped and copied files onto a memory stick.
Run the update...no issues. Took around 15mins to complete.
To be honest can't see any difference.. although I did have to re set Android Auto on my phone.
Works fine.

I haven't been offered a map update, but not too bothered as I plan to use TomTom on CarPlay (If I ever get to drive anywhere!)

As I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing, I checked on the car today regarding updates.

Apparently it’s all up to date with maps F8.

I then checked online and it says my maps are up to date but there is a software update of over 800mb which needs downloading and installing via USB (does it matter if I use the one near the charge pad or the one in the arm rest?)

If I try this and it fails, what are the risks of messing up the whole thing? I’d rather leave it well alone than risk the sync system crashing like the old MS Windows days and being left with nothing.

I don’t have the little box graphics for DAB that others have so I’m guessing that’s part of the update too.

Any guidance or help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sync updates go two ways, easy or pain in ass !!!!!! They seem to work easier if you have a PC and not Mac. The DAB logo update is an easy fix just read back through thread and it gives you details of files to download.

Having lost all the DAB radio Logos after 3.4.200351 I decided to have a go at updating them using the 1U5T-14G658-AF_1598633324000.TAR.GZ file provided by Stevep999. Quick and easy and now have the Logos although I had to modify a autoinstall.lst file as the link provided doesn't appear to work anymore. I only really needed one BBC Radio 2 for us old folk. :?

The latest maps are "F9" It doesn't make any difference which USB port you use.
However it is very important that do not have any other device connected during the update process.
Switch your engine on first and then plug in your memory stick with the update files. Do not switch off your engine or remove the USB memory stick until the system confirms the software update has been completed. You can drive the vehicle during the update. As a precaution it is perhaps worth switching off engine stop / start during the update.

Only use a formatted FAT32 USB memory stick. For the software update (not maps) use a memory stick with at least 4Gb capacity and a memory stick that contains only the Sync3 software update files.
