pjcallow Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hi all, I have recently updated my sync to the 3.0 update. I also followed the following steps to update the maps to F7 update. Instructions are found here: https://cdn.fbsbx.com/v/t59.2708-21/29753864_10155167752016455_1576452327064207360_n.docx/Sync3_NavUpdateEUV2.docx?_nc_cat=0&oh=0ebedb3d2c8c45f74b4446800f519757&oe=5ACB4D1D&dl=1 Please note make sure the file names match the scrip names. I used a 16gb USB not a 32gb as suggested in the guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any or much improvement on the old maps that you can see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjcallow Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 You can see there is a bit more detail tbh. New roads have been added but haven't tested that much as I can't drive with a broken ankle haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan on using Android Auto/Carplay as primary but would like the Sync Maps updated also in case I have to fall back on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjcallow Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thanks mate. Yeah copy over to the USB and make sure the file names and folder are the same as in the scrip file. Yeah that's it. Let me know how you get on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisLocalBoy Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Has anyone been able to get this to work, I've followed the instructions in the document to the letter, in both the arm rest and console USB slots and after 20 minutes or so in both I never see the "Updating system software..." message. I work in IT so I'm completely comfortable with all of the files and writing of the script file etc so I'm confident I'm not doing anything incorrectly. My sync version is 3.0 build 17276 (I did this update ok myself) and my maps are currently F6.1 Any ideas? (The links above have expired by the way) Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take like 45-60 min to update the maps then about 30-40 for the voice to update. If it says system updating just leave it running. I used the USB in the arm rest. Both USB ports should work. I know about 5 people that have this installed on there sync 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLocalBoy Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Thanks for the reply. That's the issue for me though, I don't even get the updating message at all, I'm copying the files to another USB stick incase for some reason the car isn't registering that particular stick (even though I use this stick for my music in the car which works fine) I'll try the other stick tomorrow and let you know if I have any luck.

Cheers mate Chris Oh right, has to be fat 32 or exfat. Make sure the scrip and filenames are the same. So open the script file and check the names and the endings. I had problems with extracting on a mac. Maybe try extracting the files again using another extractor. Yeah try another USB too. 16gb?

ChrisLocalBoy Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yeah I've checked all that and used 3 different sticks (all exFat) all no different I'm afraid...... interesting though you say to extract the files, the document never mentions extracting them it just says to copy them directly into the folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLocalBoy Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Nope..... no luck, thats 3 sticks I've tried now, all exFat formatted, files downloaded, copied on as per instructions, script checked to make sure its correct. I also tried extracting both the downloaded file, because you mentioned having problems extracting them (even though the document never mentions extracting the files), amended the script to reflect the new file names and tried this..... nothing. At no point have I ever received the 'Updating Software' message as displayed in the instructions, either there is a step missing here or the instructions are not quite correct? Are you able to confirm the exact steps you took to get this to work for you? Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I have not updated the maps yet, but my Sync version is 3.0 build:18025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLocalBoy Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yeah I managed the update to build 18025 without issue, but for whatever reason the update just refuses to start with the map update, no message, no errors...... nothing happens at all.

ChrisLocalBoy Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Just an update, I managed to get the update to work! finally. I decided to wash, wax and clean the inside of the car today and thought I'd give it one last try while I was out with the car anyway, stuck the USB in and forgot about it, I left the engine off but switched the radio on. First thing I noticed the the radio powered itself off (I think after 30 mins), still no update...... another 30 mins later it powered off, so I jumped in to power it back on and when it came back on I noticed the 'Updating' message....... I allowed it to finish and it went through fine. The second part.... the voice bit was a little different, for some reason I got the updating message as soon as I plugged the USB in...... weird. So anyone else who may have issues, this took around an hour before I even saw the 'Updating' message.......... and this seems to be different for everyone, but the document stating you'll see it within 10 minutes isn't the case for everyone, mind took around an hour before I even saw anything so its something to think about for anyone planning to try this update.......... other than the wait the update went flawlessly so just follow the guide exactly. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
