Sync3 upgrade 1.0 to 3.0 now no voice

HI,
I upgrade my 2016 escape sync3 nav from 1.0 15139 to 3.0 20204.
Voice button no longer works, “Voice recognition not active” message.
I have read that downgrading to v2.2 might fix this, but I have been unable
to loacte a 2,2 nav version that will work.
Is it possible to put together a 2.2 install from the ivsu database on cyanlabs?
The 2.2v that I found on the web just runs forever always showing “Updating System Software”. I’ve tried master reste many times.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

This is the 2.2v that I tried

; SYNC3 V2.2 Upgrade from V1.0/1.1
; Release 2.2.6
; Only for 2016 Nav/NA assemblies.

[SYNCGen3.0_1.0.15139]
[SYNCGen3.0_1.1.15349]
Item1 = HB5T-14G386-TCB
Open1 = SyncMyRide\HB5T-14G386-TCB.tar.gz
Item2 = HN1T-14G391-CC
Open2 = SyncMyRide\HN1T-14G391-CC.tar.gz
Item3 = HN1T-14G423-CA
Open3 = SyncMyRide\HN1T-14G423-CA.tar.gz
Item4 = HN1T-14G381-LG
Open4 = SyncMyRide\HN1T-14G381-LG.tar.gz
Item5 = GB5T-14G386-AA
Open5 = SyncMyRide\GB5T-14G386-AA.tar.gz
Options = Delay, AutoInstall

Correction this is the one I tried
; SYNC3 V2.2 Upgrade from V1.0/1.1
; Release 2.2.6
; Only for 2016 Nav/NA assemblies.

[SYNCGen3.0_1.0.15139]
[SYNCGen3.0_1.1.15349]
Item1 = HB5T-14G386-TCB
Open1 = SyncMyRide\HB5T-14G386-TCB.tar.gz
Item2 = HN1T-14G391-CC
Open2 = SyncMyRide\HN1T-14G391-CC.tar.gz
Item3 = HN1T-14G423-CA
Open3 = SyncMyRide\HN1T-14G423-CA.tar.gz
Item4 = HN1T-14G381-LG
Open4 = SyncMyRide\HN1T-14G381-LG.tar.gz
Options = Delay, AutoInstall

Also ran bezel diag
it shows voice file jr3t-14G391-ce3.2-19056
which corresponds to item 3 on the ford 3.0 install.
I was surprised to see a 3.2 version number on this file.

Stop bouncing the thread and spamming the forums, use the edit button if you want to add information. There’s an edit button for a reason, plus the forum warned you while posting multiple consecutive messages.

Consider yourself warned.

Sorry didn’t realize I could edit the posting, just hoping to get some help here. Thanks

So you are currently on 3.0.20204?.
Create and run a interrogator log against the unit and post back the results, redact your VIN from the file’s content and name if you care about it.

Hi,
Thanks for you response and again my apology for all the posts.
I upgraded to 3.4 and voice now works. When sync starts up, I get
the USB hubs not supported. Does this mean that Android auto will
not work without updating the hub. Thanks.

Oh ok, I assumed it was something related to the installation (that’s why I requested the interrogator log), but since you are on 3.4 that’s past and solved now.

A new HUB is required for Car Play, but Android Auto tends to be more forgiving.
So try it either way, if it works great. If not, you need to replace the HUB.

But I would upgrade your HUB either way to make that annoying message go away.

If you are going to replace it, check this thread → Media Hub, CarPlay Compatible - 2015-2020 Ford/Lincoln - SYNC 3
