Re: Sync 3 update offered today
Posted: Mon Apr 05, 2021 12:33 pm
I’ve just done mine....I think.
Prior to starting my in car sync said everything was up to date, inc maps F8.
The Ford website said I needed a sync update but maps was fine. Followed the instructions to the letter. Installed ok but didn’t write the log code so I had to pop the stick back in. Got the log second time around and uploaded to the Ford website. It’s now saying I need a map update. I’m assuming this will be to F9 that most updated to a while back? How would I know which one as I’ve read on here there’s been issues with the F10 (btw I have no idea what the F stands for)
It seems that this update has deleted previously saved settings such as my WiFi, Bluetooth connected phone, other user set options (ie the beeping sound on screen press). Is this normal?
If we need to do this for each update, what is the point in having an automatic software update button on the sync screen? I was hoping it would do it all whilst connected to my house WiFi.
My radio seems to have kept the presets. I use DAB and my little box icons have moved to the right of the screen. Some appear when on the audio page and some when on the home page, but not all and not on both.
Are these icons and info subject to the radio station transmitting them? I have the radio icon option on.
I am aware there is a thread on this aspect but thought it may be to do with the sync update. I have only scanned that thread as I didn’t want to confuse myself with a problem that I hadn’t (until now) encountered.
I’m downloading the map update but won’t install it just yet. Below is the screen on completion of the sync update. It means nothing to me.
Thanks in advance.
