Sync 3.4.20282 - Feedback & Issues

Thanks for following up to my post, I just want to apologize in advance if this post should be in its own thread, I’ve done a ton of reading and it feels like my head is going to explode… I just wanted to respond to your post above.

When you are referring to make sure I DONT REFORMAT, in sync 3 updater under advanced options you can autodetect, autoinstall, reformat, or downgrade. I choose AUTOINSTALL and I am not updating maps

The way I understand is if you autoinstall it will just write over the existing data/file the way a factory update would. Is this correct …?

I don’t know if it makes a difference but I live in Canada and when I go to the Ford site ( have checked several times) and input my vin number in sync my ride it says my sync system is up to date. The build date of my truck according to the vin sticker in the door jamb is 04/21

For what it’s worth here is the preset issue.

I don’t have a video of the seek skipping tracks (1,3,5,7 Etc) but to confirm it happens on USB only when seeking forward > on the center stack below the nav screen. If I seek on the steering wheel it works fine and if I uses the turner knob it will switch tracks fine.

I don’t have any issues with the seek forward button > on radio am/fm or Sirius/xm

Thanks for all your input.

Correct, autoinstall is safe.

Not surprising. The latest updates never seem to make production line first.

This is fixed in the newer versions, 20282 and above.

I’ll take a look at the video a bit later…

Thanks for clarifying this. And taking the time out to explain
