I originally tried to program an 8GB Toshiba thumb drive. Around 80% of installation, I received a pop up message. stating I did not have enough memory.
I then got a 64GB ONN USB 2.0 Flash Drive. SYNC3 installation was installed. Then went to 2016 Ford Edge and tried to install SYNC 3.4.23188 and latest map version. The installation seem to be working, until I got a installation failure pop message shortly after starting install. Then I tried installing again without success; hence, I erased the flash drive and tried to reinstall the SYNC3 update. The new installation is now defaulting to a Non Nav APIM, even if I tried this process on a different computer.
