DFisclaimer: For 2019+ Vehicles they got a Ford Protection called MY20, which means the Maps can't be updated and the update method is autoinstall over reformat. The Maps can't be updated due to storage compacity issues with the APIM. Please be aware when ordering.
Disclaimer:
This is just for a USB Drive to update your current Sync 3 system, nothing else.
Please provide your current Sync 3 version and build number after payment.
We are not responsible for programming or system hardware, update your system at your own risk.
USB Hubs vary in compatibility, in most cases all work as intended but with your system updated to 2023, old USB Hubs may display a message on screen. Either ignore it or upgrade to a newer Style.
This is for Navigation Sync 3 units, if you have Non-Nav I can update you to V3.4 with this Drive but I would need to be informed prior to shipment.
Questions:
Any questions feel free to contact me, thank you!
*** This is an update drive if you currently have an older version of Sync 3, not for Sync 2 users. For Sync 2 users you will need a conversion kit.
If this occurs reach out and I'll sell you one and ship fast of course. Thank you.
