Im bought ford fusion se 2018 from usa. Im polish in eu.
I have sync 3.4 19200 without maps with polish lang, and radio fm working ue. I want upgrade sync to latest with cyanlabs updater but:
I dont know what version of region i have now in my car, how to check this?
If region of actual soft is not important, can i just install latest sync for eu to have polish lang and others working?
If i cant install eu soft how can i patch usa soft with polish lang voices and etc?
Whats happen when install eu over usa region?
5 I dont need nav if android auto will work.
Yea, i read this before but its tutorial for maps, i dont have maps and i dont need them as long as android auto will work.
If i dont need maps i still need reformat my apim asbuils and etc?
Is not posible to install only sync3 for eu region? Or install sync3 for usa region with voices from eu package?
Eu install package is about 5,5gb
Us install package is almost 2gb
Storage apim is 8gb so should install easy,
I dont wanna try because i dont wanna brick hardware so i asking, cause it look easy in theory, but too many things may goes wrong
you can create an interrogator log and run it against the unit, it will have some information about that.
if your current installed SW is for NA and you have polish, you should be fine. Point 1 will also show which packages you have installed on the unit.
I think so, but i do not think it would be necessary
I do not think it really matters if you do not have navigation. But it’s always recommended to have matching sw region with how the APIM is configured, even if it’s a no-nav APIM, to have matching configuration. Changing regions is not recommended without changing APIM’s settings.
it’s not a matter if you need or do not need nav. If the unit is no-nav, you can’t install maps.
So, run the interrogator and post the results. Make sure to redact your vin from the file’s name and content, if you care about it being publicly shown.
Im a little bit of scare to do this, dont wanna brick my sync i dont have odb to use forscan too if it will be needed after upgrade
Must more read about this upgrade
So should i change region in updater?
For region eu i have 4 files to download, apps, grace, voices and something else, i dont remember now.
Should i make usb only with apps and voices from EU region or download NA apps and voices from EU?
You should be using EU as the region if you are located in EU. Since you have a NON-NAV APIM, only install the Sync app and Voice (EU). Installing Gracenotes with EU software may not fit. See this tutorial for reference about this issue.
Ok, readed tutorial and have last question before i start upgrade.
Its mandatory to have at least 1.5gb free memory?
Whats for it need this memory ? This is for buffering when installs new package, or installer first copy ex. full package with voices and after restart sync it replace old by new, and then delete old?
Im asking because i dont know do i need before upgrade remove grace and voice (you said i have only apps and voices, so probably already dont have grace so dont get free memory, if i free more memory by remove voices i dont know how many free memory i get, if not enough i still cant do upgrade, and will be without voices at all )
Ps. Sorry for my english, but i hope you understand what i mean
Thank you for your time and support
If you read the tutorial then I’m sure you read this fragment:
That’s the answer to your question. And if I may add: that comment is made for a reason. You are free to try it with less than that amount, if you ran into issues then you will know why. I’m not sure why we are talking about this, since it was also stated before that your unit has 3GB of free space…
About why is that free space needed is for package processing, remember your upgrade USB device has compressed files only.
I apologize, I didn’t read the previous log myself, just got hung up on what it was said by f150chief.
You are correct, you do not have enough free space.
I’ve personally reviewed your log, and there’s something strange with it.
According to that log, you only have 2 packages installed, so the only thing you would be able to reduce is the voice file, nothing else.
Which version of the interrogator log did you use?
Check the USB, does it end in -AB, -AC or -AD?
on usb i have one file GB5T-14G386-AC_1587495565000.TAR
in my log i dont see tag with [5U5T-14G391-AE] like posted @F150Chief
so i dont know whats happen when i use “small voice package replacement usb” if it will remove my voices how much memory i get, if will too low i cant do upgrade and dont have voices at all so i hope you understand why im so inquisitive before i start upgrade
btw, there is a bug in sync3updater with formating usb, it show will format but dont do that, ex, when i make usb for log i have 1 file in syncmyride folder, later when i make usb for upgrade with 4 files after “format” i have 5 files in syncmyride folder (4 files to upgrade and 1 file for log)
I see…
Please, create an interrogator log with the -AB package and see how it goes.
You can find information about how manually doing this in this link Tutorial: APIM Interrogator Utility/Create Interrogator Log that you previously found.
Can you attach the xml file that you already have?.
If I’m understanding correctly, that’s expected. There’s always a +1 file for the log of the USB creation. Post a screenshot if you have one.
Thank you for the file.
It does not say what APIM you have, which is strange. Question: prior the current 3.4 version you have, what version did the unit had? 3.0?
And if so, did you upgrade it on the past?
