3.0 maps are not compatible with 3.4, so no. Redo everything and select the latest NAV this time, you won’t be able to use the maps you have paid for Sync3 3.0. ---

There are ways to do it, but it would require sending your APIM out. ---

Thank you, I assume I can’t get an update map for 3.4 from Ford because they stop supporting at 3.0 for my 2016 APIM. Meaning even if I asked for them to send me a map update for 3.4 software, not 3.0. What’s the process if I send the APIM out? ---

Fords still sells the maps for sync 3 versions for about another 4 years or more best we can tell. As long as you dont have a 2020+ APIM than just do the Format and install with maps and it will be fine. You can no longer use the ones you bought so take them out of the equation. ---

Just use the Sync 3.4 available maps thru reformat. Sync 3.4 does not support the older Sync 3.0 files as the partitions and file data are different. ---
