2016 MKX - "USB hubs are not supported. Please remove."

I bought a used 2016 Lincoln MKX a month ago. It came factory with SYNC 3, but it was never updated. I got it updated to SYNC 3 3.0 (Ford’s recommended highest update), then updated to SYNC 3 3.4.23188 but now I have “USB hubs are not supported. Please remove.” Error. I read some of the other forums, from what I can tell, they say I should buy newer USB hubs. I have tried Resetting multiple times. Do I need to since the car came factory with SYNC 3? I have the USB hubs with just USB ports (No SD port). Would both ports/hubs need to be upgraded? I’m considering downgrading back to 3.0 if I would have to buy new Hubs (neither of which I want to do). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

By going into 3.4.x you changed the model of the module required to one that fully supported Car Play and Android Auto.
You need to swap it out for module HA1Z-19A387-AC

You can’t go back to 3.0, it’s clearly stated in multiple places…

Tell me how that works out for you.

I think I will probably replace the hub, because I’m sick of that pop up. Does anyone know how to remove the hub? I kind of tried to remove it by just prying at it, but I didn’t have much luck. should I just pry at it harder or do I need to take the console apart? Thanks!

There are 2 indents on the left and right side of the plug face. If you have a 90deg pick push in the tabs in the indent one side at a time while slightly pulling and it will come out.

can i go from 3.0.23219 down to 2.2 in order to get my carplay to work? i think thats why its not working

Yes.

Sure, you would need to build a downgrade USB by hand.
You can find the file links here: SYNC 3 APIM Software (IVSU) Database - CyanLabs

i found an older post by you and built the downgrade on my usb. format to exfat, downloaded the HN1T-14G381-SA_64817.tar to SyncMyRide, have autoinstall.lst setup. only question is, would it be better to do downgrade or reformat instead of auto?

You want auto
