Hello CyanLabs Team,

I have a 2019 US-spec Lincoln Navigator with an original SYNC 3 unit (Version 3.0, Build 17302) with Navigation (NA 1 16 maps).

I currently reside in the Middle East (GCC) and would like to update my SYNC 3 system to version 3.4 and change the region/maps from North America (NA) to Middle East/GCC.

Could you please confirm if changing the region from NA to GCC using Syn3 Updater is fully supported and safe for my unit? Do I need to perform an APIM region code change via FORScan before installing the GCC maps, or can Syn3 Updater handle the map region change directly?

Thank you for your support!

Hi.

We do not support changing regions.

Maybe the following guide can get you started in your research, may not apply to you though, so do your proper research and due diligence : [Installation of ROW (NNG) Maps on NA 32GB Sync 3 APIM](https://community.cyanlabs.net/t/installation-of-row-nng-maps-on-na-32gb-sync-3-apim/3817)
