Problems Updating from 2.3.17109

I am trying to update a really old Version of Sync3. The interrogator-Stick does not work. It gives me alway the Error-Code 0221-9999-2999. So I wanted to try to update first to an older Version of like 3.0.20204. I hope than the USB-Port does work with exFAT and newer sticks. But I cannot choose such an old version in den Sync3-Updater. Does somebody know an easy solution?

Do you have a error message, if so what is it?
Error-Code 0221-9999-2999

Update Method: CyanLabs Syn3 Updater

Syn3 Updater Version: newest

Syn3 Updater Log File

none

Post a picture of such error and also of the about Sync screen on the unit.

Here are the pictures. It is in German. But I hope it doesn’t matter. Thank you

Just as I posted I recognised that I interpreted the error code wrong: The correct one is of course VER_ERR01.

But I inserted the correct version in the Sync3-Updater. So why is it not accepted?

Can you share a screenshot of the Syn3updater configuration and also a screenshot that shows the USB 's root, along with all the .lst files contents and what files are in the SyncMyRide folder…

The error you are getting is not a nice one…

The updater is meant to get you to v3.4.x not a 3.0.2xxxxx

I know but I wanted to try that to be careful since the interrogator is not working.

The safe method would be to go to Ford’s owner site owner.ford.com and pull down the version of 3.0.x for your vehicle, it doesn’t require a reformat.

If that doesn’t install with a good quality USB formatted as exFAT and nothing else plugged into the USB ports then the odds are high you’ll have issues trying to go to 3.4.

Keep in mind that if you don’t have a NAV APIM you may have to use 3.4.21265 instead of 3.4.23188 due to compatibility issues with non-Sync 3.4 native modules in the car

What device are you using?.
Try manually upgrading to the latest 3.0, you can take this post as reference for the needed files → 2016 Mustang Sync3 1.0 updated to 3.0 and no Apple Carplay! - #10 by SaNdMaN

Once on 3.0, try running the interrogator again…
