Newbie. Update from 3.0 to 3.4

Makes the compass work better…
That’s great the the illumination worked out. Basically done except for that pesky DTC.

I’m placing the below here so I don’t have to search the thread again:
2015 Ford Focus SE. Originally came with Sync 1.
since in switch from sync 1 to sync 2 and then sync 3, i was never able to get rid of this very only DTC
APIM U2101:00-0B

I’ll take a look at the asbuilt later and see if there is any clues.

The problem you have (as does everyone else with GPS drift and driving the wrong way) is that the 7D0-07 block may be incorrect for your car. The easiest solution is to find an asbuilt config from a car which originally had sync 3 installed in your model and get it from the Motorcraft asbuilt download site.

Look for a 2017 Ford Focus SEL, get the VIN, then go to: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/asbuilt.

Insert the VIN and download the as built for that vehicle. Enter the information from all of the 7D0-07-xx blocks and program. Check the other blocks also for the features you have or not. Reboot Sync.

Thanks!
I think I can live with that dtc. And actually, gps doesn’t give me a hard time at all in terms of drifting. Compass works perfectly fine and gps signal on apim diagnostics looks good.

My Focus is kinda a frankenstein. It comes from sync 1 and I have spent so much time in getting everything to work fine that I don’t think there is a 2015 Ford Focus SE with a sync 3 system running as good as mine (modesty aside :sweat_smile:). So I believe it will be very difficult to get ab data that could fit my car and delete that dtc.

Btw, I read once that the drifting issue was related with the former gps module that already came with the car. It causes Interference with the new gps module embedded in the sync 3 apim and this could be fixed by either updating gateway module GWM or replacing it with a newer version. I never got interested enough.

True. A lot of folks just disconnect the old GPSM and call it good. That does fix it for most vehicles.
I found a few things to adjust in the APIM as built. I’ll send it when I’m done.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.
Just so you know, I kinda copied/pasted the abdata so the last digits (checksum) are off

Do you have steering wheel volume controls?

Yes. I do and they are currently working.
I remember having issues when I did sync 1 to sync 2 upgrade. There was an ab data that wouldn’t let them work. I was able to fix them.
Sync 2 to sync 3 was just a hw swap pretty much and a mic pin that needed to be re-located on the harness

See your PM (DM)…

You input your current version as 3.4.20196. You have to go back to the original configuration page and put in 3.0.19205. From there it will go straight to a reformat instead of trying to downgrade you first (which isn’t possible if you are on 3.0 and why it failed).

Hi i update to 3.4.20196 as refrmated from 3.0
How can i update to latest version 3.4.20136

and album cover is not working.
My Expedition 2019. Everything else working fine.

I do not understand! I already have v3 19205, I want to put 3.4 20196 but when I insert the USB into the sync, after a few minutes I get the error INSTL_ERR11. The usb key was prepared by Syncupdater 1.0.0.3

Yes, you were getting the install error because you were trying to do a downgrade to a 3.0 system. Go back to the app and on the configuration page enter 3.0.19205, then on the next screen select 3.4.20196. The way you have it set up makes the app think you currently have 3.4.20196.

The latest version is 3.4.20196 so if that’s what you are on then you are up to date. Ford changed the audio UI in 3.4.20196 so album art is missing for some people depending on audio source.

Exactly correct, thanks for taking the words out of my mouth :smiley:

Oh! how stupid I am! I had not considered the first screen of the current version and only the download screen of the new version appeared. So it’s my fault that I bypassed the first screen! Ok I repeat the download.
First screen Current version 3.0.19205 and second screen download v. 3.4.20196!
Thanks for your availability.
Sorry for the English but I use the translator !

This will work, i can see “Reformat” at the bottom left so assuming your USB is healthy it will work :slight_smile:
