Had quite the day. Recently upgraded my Fusion from Sync 1 to 3. Tried to install the last update 21020 with new maps. The update worked but the maps remained the same. Used syncupdater to try the downgrade method and the new update 21098. Worked great!! Only took 30 minutes total. So far the only things I can tell that are different is the Radio Screen is different somehow but can’t explain exactly what it is. Also the climate control screen buttons are now orange when you turn them on as before they were blue. Other that that everything works great. Added the calm screen also. Unable to get the HD Radio icons as I live in the US.
Not sure if this may just be something with my system but on previous versions (both 19101 and 21020) when using Android Auto the transition from voice/prompt to music wasn’t perfect. Usually I have voice/prompt volume a little higher and once a prompt completed and returned to music it would hold that same volume for a brief moment before going to the designated audio/music volume. Seems it’s been resolved now. The transition is super smooth, no delay or odd volume issues. Same exact phone (Pixel 4a). Also tried with multiple audio sources including AA apps as well as USB and FM sources in Sync itself.
F150Chief. All original equipment. The firmware has not been updated that I know of. The buttons do slide to each side by swiping and I can correct the alignment by swiping. So the only issue is the alignment is off when I start the truck or if the screen refreshes after an alert, call, text, etc. I may try to do another Master Reset and see if that makes any difference. Stay tuned.
I searched for this issue and came up with several reports from the Ranger5g and F150Forum, as well as others. Apparently not an isolated issue. Ideally the row of buttons are supposed to ‘snap’ into position but that does not always happen. I recreated it today on my F-150 with Sync 3.4.21098 by slowly moving the presets until they stuck like you describe. I really would not say this is a ‘bug’ but rather just the behavior of the scrolling feature.
I got a failed download every time trying to go from Sync 3.4.19101 (currently installed w/ 1.19-2019 maps), attempting to go to Sync 3.4.21098 w/ the 2.20 (2020) - NA maps
It failed at least 3 times on two different computers. I had to do the APP only upgrade to get to Sync 3.4.21098, which is working just fine.
Just want to do an entire clean format to go to the latest and greatest of:
Sync 3.4.21098 w/ the 2.20 (2020) - NA maps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and we all really appreciate the work involved with this site and Syn3Updater tool! Keep up the good work!
Maps are fine, its the servers that are not always reliable (presumably due to high rate of download). You just have to keep trying the downloads until eventually it works. You could also copy the URL for the package and manually download it and then place it in the Syn3 Updater folder.
It will then skip downloading the package within the app and proceed to make the USB.
Yeah blips in the download are not handled well via Syn3 Updater so if you have like Internet download Manager or Chrome’s built in downloader it is usually more forgiving for “blips” in the download
