Upgrade Ford Sync 3 to 3.4!

This video shows how to update a Ford Sync 3 system, version 3.0 to version 3.4 with a navigation update for free. Step by step installation is shown using Cyan Labs software. Also shows how we fixed the touch screen displaying at the wrong size after installation using Forscan to modify the as-built data.

WOW!! That worked great! I put the drive in and it told me that I needed to reload the thumb drive and try again. I pulled the drive out and it said "Put the thumb drive back to proceed" so I put it back in and 30 minutes later it rebooted and worked perfectly. Nothing in life is ever this easy but it appears that the planets were aligned and I can't be more happy. I'm so glad I got this used car! Thank you so much!!!

Thanks! I just bought a 19 F350 with a very slow and lagging Sync 3.0. I just did this upgrade from 3.0 to 3.4 using your video! Thanks again.

It took 49 minutes on my focus mk3, so if anyone is reading, do not worry :D

Thank you so much for making this video. You couldn't have made a better video it went exactly as you described.

Why would you want to upgrade to this sync version? What so much better about it? I just updated my 2017 truck to version 3.0

After my update to 3.4 in my 2017 MKZ, I lost all the SiriusXm logos. Did you notice that as well? Do you know if there is a Fix for it?

[seanthemon]

I normally do this without the vehicle running by turning the key to the on position and back to aux every once in a while so it doesn't completely turn off, and doesn't use much battery or any fuel.

So once you do the cyanlabs, does it interfere with any future sync updates from ford?

Good video. I have a question, please. do you have any idea how to add the camera icon (to activate or desactivate the camera) in the sync home screen ? (at the top right next to home icon ). what is the line or lines of code to modify (with Forscan). THANKS

Hello, I am needing some help. I have an 18 mustang with nav version 3.0. I followed all your steps but when I hit "start" and it's supposed to download to the USB drive (it's a USB 2.0 32GB) it does it in less than 5 seconds unlike your video and every other videos I've watched. My internet is NOT that fast. I plug in my car and all it does is reboots...i checked the memory on the USB and I still have 29GB or so which makes me think it is not being downloaded to my USB.

Will this work on a Mac computer???,
Wanted to give you guys an update!!
I was able to install the 3.4 updates, and it definitely works better! No lag time, better options and all! I’m loving the new look along with the options

I upgraded my sync 3.4.20237 to 3.4.23188 (canada) and have lastest version in truck. When going online and logging into account it still shows previous version and multiple calls with Ford customer suppport to no avail. They seem to refuse to updates, even though I sent screenshots and log file, they say its a dev issue. Sync 3 says real time traffic updates, thats a lie it does not do that and Ford apparently has no plans to change it.

Is this still working. There’s a newer build it says to use. Is that ok?

[sneakerstalkin]

My install mode might be the issue but it doesn’t work, it’s stuck in reformat install mode as I’m watching yours and everyone else is in auto install mode

[davidcasimiro]

I have a sync 3 that has no touch input everything shows on the screen as it should. I was told to reinstall the or upgrade software first before buying a new screen. Its a 17 Focus St. I have no way to get to current version number etc. Can I still try this by using any current version number and going to 3.4 ? I was going to choice the lowest to make sure nothing is missed

[luckysflyingservice]

Followed all of the instructions and boom no more sync 3. Gets stuck on a file that errors out. I tried several different version and always there are files that won’t load. 😢😢
Now I have to go to Ford… wonder what that’s going to cost😳

[Aflo]

I just downloaded this on my computer but now when I open the application it tells me there’s an error not found. Any way you could help me?

[플라스틱-kr]

I switched from Sunc2 to sync3 and the build is 19200. It's currently 23188, so should I just go with what you told me? My car is 2016 explorer

[petechristian]

Does it make it where it are not so slow?
