I wanted to remove Gracenotes per the 3.0 to 3.4 instructions, and used the tool inside of Syn3Update to do so.

I later read about the missing Sirius XM channel art and radio logos that might be missing after update (without some APIM reprogramming, which I’m uncomfortable with). Since preparing my 3.4.xxx upgrade USB key, I got cold feet, and when trying to re-select my original version to merely restore the file, it only gives me version 3.3xx and up of Sync3 to select–not my 3.0.20204.

Creating a new profile inside Syn3Update doesn’t solve this. Formatting the USB drive I use doesn’t help fix this.

How would I go about re-installing just the Gracenotes from my 3.0.20204 version (I understand that the version of Gracenotes doesn’t change for quite a few point releases–version 1.1.1.1332)

What you could try is the following:

  • Go to SYNC 3 APIM Software (IVSU) Database - CyanLabs and search for the desired Gracenote version
  • Dowload the file
  • Use a exFAT USB stick (not drive/Disk), create a SyncMyRide folder in it with the downloaded file in it
  • Create an autoinstall.lst file on the USB’s root with:

[SYNCGen3.0_ALL]
Item1 = FILE-NAME.TAR.GZ
Open1 = SyncMyRide\FILE-NAME.TAR.GZ
Options = Autoinstall

Gracenotes does not contribute to SiriusXM logos. The SiriusXM channel logos are contained in the Sync app build, unless they are special event channels which are then updated over the air. You can go to the SiriusXM website and send a refresh to your radio. Sometimes this will kick start the special event channel data and refresh the logos.

As a test about a year ago, I deleted GN from Sync 3.4 and retained all the SiriusXM logos and local media (USB Media) album art, etc. If you have media with complete tags, you don’t need GN. Using CarPlay with streaming from the iPhone was hit and miss on the album art, but it really is dependent on the streaming data, not GN. I would suspect AA would be similar.

The GN file for 3.0.20204 for NA (North America) is JR3T-14G423-CB_1548263512000.TAR.GZ (1.1.1.1139 (NA-0010)).
You can use the Global file (-BB) if you wish.

There is no APIM programming that will bring back the SiriusXM logos. The logos will just repopulate after the Sync 3.4 update just as they would after a Sync 3.0 update.

The NON-NAV units are notorious for having issues with SiriusXM logos. According to the Interrogator Utility xml file output you have the maps application installed on your unit. But no maps. It looks like someone tried to install maps on the unit.
