I used the Syn3 Updater to go from SYNC 2.5 to the latest 3.4 and read all the manuals on my Ford Galaxy 2015. Overall, the update went well and there’s no error, just weird behavior - front window heating does not switch on (button lights up but it does not defrost). Also, fan speed acts weird: switching back from “max” to “auto” keeps the fan at a very high level (and noise). No issues working with Forscan and I have taken a screenshot of the settings but am having issues interpreting the APIM database from https://cyanlabs.net/asbuilt-db/sync3-apim/ and understanding if there’s an issue and what I’d need to set to fix the problem.
Really appreciate feedback from experienced fellas here and - if you can make time - some context of what’s going on. Cheers!

Do you have a error message, if so what is it?
No error message
I considered that as a plan B as I believe people reported that APIM module configuration can fix such glitches, too. One I found is changing
7D0-04-01 0100 1B00
to
7D0-04-01 0100 0000
Which should change the communication with the climate domain back to what it should be. However, I was hoping someone could confirm this.
The front window heating seems to be due to battery level being down at 65% (I understand below 75% can lead to such issues). However, I’d take that glitch as solved for now and focus on fan speed and behavior.
