2013 F-150 Update will not install

Hey All-

First of all I want to say kudos to this community and Cyanlabs for making it possible to give my 2013 truck both a functionality and appearance face lift.

I have had an issue with this update, and I don’t believe it’s specific to the version. When inserting the USB to initiate the update I get the below prompt, which I haven’t seen in the many demonstration videos I’ve watched.

I intuitively select “Yes” and wait in anticipation for the update to begin… But after multiple attempts and waiting for up to an one hour I give up. My Sync and display continue on like nothing has happened. Long story short, the update is not initiating.

Any ideas?

Cheers!
Connor

Are you using a Ford installation package (downloaded from Ford)? Or the CyanLabs installation?

What Sync version are you presently on and which one are you upgrading to, with or without maps? Can you post the installation log if using the Syn3 Updater?

I am using CyanLabs. I started with the Ford package and had the same issue. I turned to CyanLabs as I thought it would be a work around but ran into the same issue.

My current Sync version is 3.3.19052 (no maps) and I attempted upgrading to 3.4.21194 without maps.

Here’s my installation log:

You will need to remove Gracenotes from the installation. Then run the Interrogator Tool from the troubleshooting tab of Syn3 Updater to see if there is enough room to install GN after.

See this tutorial, it will explain the issue. It’s all about memory space.
