I, like others not sure where to start here (Thanks for help and direction in advance).
I have an F150 created in 2019 (But 2020 model) and picked up in Dec of 2019.
I started to have issues with APIM around July of this year (2023). I performed a master reset after several failed “Updates” and black screens. I then updated to 3.4.21194. This temporarily fixed the issue until a few weeks ago (And I am sure I did not have the OTA on).
I did see there was an update finally to upgrade to 3.4Build 23188. I performed and it cleared my issues.
I then wanted to upgrade my map to the latest (Mine shows NA 119). Did the usual update from SyncNavigation - 4UST-14G421 and 14G422 files and the key.
Then was presented the usual Failed - MEM_ERR01
I wanted to check in prior to running the Cyanlabs software / interrogator software to see if I should do anything else before moving to this side of the world.
Any feedback is welcome!
Thanks!
Mike

Do you have a error message, if so what is it?
MEM_ERR01
Your APIM is a MY 2020+ so you cannot reformat to update maps. You will need to go through Ford to update them. The newest ones from Ford.com are 2.22 maps and take about 45 min to install. Guessing that’s what you already downloaded though.
Is this filename a typo or is there a new file for Gracenote?
GB5T-14G386-AE
So, at this point you have updated to 3.4.23188, but have not updated the maps. Correct?
Where did you get the map license file? If you downloaded it from here it will not work, you need to download one from Ford for your VIN. Otherwise, the autoinstall file for the maps will work with your unit.
Another question: There are no complete map sets installed on the APIM. Here are the files presently installed.
4U5T-14G423-CC
4U5T-14G421-CCC
4U5T-14G422-CBF
5U5T-14G391-CS
Has this APIM been wiped with another utility, like that from FMods? Below is the storage indicated by the log utility. It does indicate the unit is equipped for NAV. I suspect that there is an issue with the software and maps installations which needs to be corrected.
I did not look at the XML itself that I uploaded to see what was a successful transfer / upload. That could have saved you (Or anyone else looking at this thread) some time on what was actually in the APIM, so thanks for giving that a onceover. The files I noted here on this thread were from the thumb drive to my truck from https://www.ford.com/support/sync-maps-updates/.
Once I uploaded the 23188 files and after the shutoff the truck and open close the door routine, it showed as successful.
If the XML did not show any of the files from the 23188 upload on the XML, then they did not transfer over like the Gracenote file which is noted on the 23188 lst.
Outside of the the Ford / Sync Navigation website, no, I have not used any other service to perform any task. I did perform a master reset prior to uploading the 21194 version. I also had issues with that update and had to perform over a dozen resets (Not master though, the Volume / right arrow reset) where things came back to life.
The 5 files you noted, the CC and CS were from the 3.4.21194 update (and the CCC and CBF were from the previous 3.0_3.2312.18005 which carried over??, no clue) I loaded trying to correct the issues I had from the blue and black screens of death i was experiencing from the 3.0_3.2312.18005 version . So it looks like there was not a clean load even from then.
The interesting thing is that the maps seem to be working and it shows traffic condition status. So at this point I am not sure what is good or what is in need of correction.
What a headache. I’m in IT and even this is like Windows 9 for trying to figure it out.
Thanks for all the help from you or anyone else in advance, it means a lot to me.
It’s not the first time I see an APIM not showing what’s really on the unit due to unfinished updates…
I’m assuming this is an edited version of the autoinstall.lst files…
And, this is pushed by Ford because of your VIN, right?.
There’s one thing you could try: splitting the maps installs into smaller pieces…
Your unit does not have a lot of free space to work with, and map files are BIG.
4U5T-14G421-CAF is 1 GB, compressed… and to install it on the unit temp space is required to copy and then uncompress it… and you only have 3.9 GB left, which is not a lot…
The three sections of 18005_PROD, 18005 and All were in the autolist from the official Ford / Sync navigation website. I did edit the item / open statement lines for clear reading, yes for this thread, but it is in the correct order. By my VIN, yes.
I will give that a try, thanks
Also, do i just need the AutoInstall, or
AutoInstall, Include, Transaction
Delay, Include , Transaction
Should I perform the same type of upload on the rest of the files, a few at a time? As I am not sure which file updates what function, can it be in any order to upload?
This is the OEM Ford autoinstall.lst file contents for installing Sync 3.4.23188. This is only for the Sync app and does not include the voice or GN packages.
; SYNC3 Consumer Assembly Upgrade - Release 3.4.23188 - Only for Nav/EU assemblies.
The rest of it is just software and hardware checks along with the log utility.
For the NA Maps…
Each of the argument statements at the end of each section are there for a specific function to instruct the Sync upgrade to proceed in a certain order and to force a reboot if needed.
For the Map update yes, only the two files you noted as it bombed out with the MEM_ERR when trying the full upload. The SYNC3 update did not error when I uploaded the files it moved over.
With MY2020+ can I use the Cyan GN removal tool?
I am taking everything literally step by step that you both are helping me with so I do not brick anything.
I uploaded the two files that you indicated then came back here to the thread for the next steps / what should I or should not upload before proceeding.
