After updating to Sync3.4, voice languages ​​for certain countries are disabled.

Hello.
I live in Korea.

I have successfully updated the SYNC system on my 2017 Ford Explorer from 3.0.20204 to 3.4.19200.
Even after the update, the SYNC text menu can still be changed to Korean, but the Korean voice and voice commands are not working and only come out in English.
I even tried updating to version 20351, just in case, but the Korean voice is still missing.

Is it possible to install just the Korean voice package separately?
I’ve searched everywhere but can’t find a solution on my own, so I’m asking for help here.


SYNC Region: ROW

Navigation Variant: Non Nav

Manufacturer Year: MY20

Install Type: OEM

Old SYNC Version: 3.0.20204

New SYNC Version: 3.4.20136

Do you have a error message, if so what is it?
no errors

Update Method: CyanLabs Syn3 Updater

Syn3 Updater Version: 2.14.2.0 (Stable)

Syn3 Updater Documentation Read: yes

Syn3 Updater Log File

I don't have a log file.

There is only 1 voice file set for Sync 3 that contains Korean:
Region: Non-EU_NNAV
Files: xxxx-14G391-Bx
Languages: ARW, DUN, ENA, ENG, ENI, ENU, FRC, FRF, KOK, MNC, MNT, PTB, PTP, SPE, SPM, THT

Changing the Sync app version and the voice file version should be done together.
I would recommend you try the following…

3.4.21265 3.2.21169
5U5T-14G381-EU 5U5T-14G391-BP

Thanks for your help with the answer.

Are you saying that I need to install the Sync app and voice files from version 3.4.21265, and then install the app and voice files from version 3.2.21169?

Is it completely impossible to install only the Korean language files?

No, the Sync 3 app is version 3.4.21265 and the voice file to go with it is 3.2.21169.

The Korean voice file is included in this package, not stand alone.

Thank you so much for your reply.

I don’t know how to install the app version 3.4.21265 and the voice file version 3.2.21169, but I’ll figure it out.

Thank you!

Thank you! All the issues have been resolved.

I used Syn3updater to create version 3.4.21265 on a USB stick. I chose the downgrade installation option and EU for the region. After the installation was complete, I deleted the voice files.

After that, I manually downloaded the voice package for version 3.2.21169 and copied it to the ‘SyncMyRide’ folder on the USB. I then edited the voice file names in the ‘reformat.lst’ and ‘autoinstll.lst’ files to match the downloaded voice file name.

When I plugged the USB stick I made into my Explorer, it successfully downgraded, and the installation of version 3.4.21265 was completed. And of course, the Korean voice and commands are working perfectly!

Excellent, that’s for the feedback.
