2018 Ford Focus RS Update Boot Screen

Hello, I am considering upgrading my SYNC system in my 2018 Focus RS. Just a quick question: is there a way to maintain the Ford Performance logo while the system is booting up? Or does the upgrade wipe that out and replace it with the Ford logo?

Thanks - Patrick

Hello.

You should be able to. Check out this DB https://cyanlabs.net/asbuilt-db/sync3-apim/?search=Boot%2520Screen%2520Animations%2520Sync%2520Versions%25203.0%2520thru%25203.4 .

There are several options mentioning Ford Performance, such as:
“0C=RS (Ford Performance) - Rallye Sport (Ford-MY20 Theme w/RS Animation)”

Do you know what value do you currently have?

Thank you very much, I will take a look at that DB! Currently, I’m unsure what value I have on my car, I can verify that on the radio itself?

Thanks,
Patrick

If you can, I’m not aware how to check that. There’s a way to temporarily change logos through a hidden menu, but I’ve not done so.

If you do not have forscan and an adapter, maybe you could run the interrogator log against the unit an decode the asbuilt (or send the XML over). You can do that with Syn3updater.

Thank you, I just grabbed the interrogate log from the system and am reviewing it right now!
