Alex.S Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 This might be relevant to this thread......3.4 has local hazard feature. It’s made possible by the lidar cameras. But with Ford stalling the release of sync 3.4 to us , maybe our cars hardware (even tho it’s recent and is lidar tech) isn’t compatible...

It's not rocket science for Ford to have 2 codes paths i.e. the software checks what hardware is available and then just display the features supported by the hardware.

Super Simon Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I have a Focus mk3.5 January 2018 currently running on Sync 3.0 and maps F6.1 😥 I downloaded all of the files for Sync 3.4 (20136) from Cyanlabs yesterday and I'm going to give it a whirl later today. If all goes to plan, I think I'll update the APIM firmware at a later date, just need to get a decent OBD cable and the Forscan Beta software.

Streetie Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Love the work that everyone has done here and, have 3.4 running on my 19 MK4 ST. Has there been any work to look at personalising the ‘wall paper’ within 3.4? I’ve played with ForScan and can see some presets are available but, can’t seem to locate the files & structure to be able to insert a wallpaper. Anyone any ideas or, am I’m just pushing my luck?

If all goes to plan, I think I'll update the APIM firmware at a later date, just need to get a decent OBD cable and the Forscan Beta software. Just completed it all, took 53 minutes with no issues. I was getting a couple of errors to begin with about it needing an update which others have also reported but completing the recommended master reset in the settings solved that. Sync 3.4 looks fantastic! Now also running maps F9. I might give the APIM firmware a go next if I pluck up the courage. I have an OBD2 cable (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074JF6YNG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but I'm led to believe you need something a bit more resilient. Does anyone have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyr55 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Anyone got the 3.4 updates from the Ford website yet? ford still stalling....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comares2001 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Of course not , you didn't seriously think you would get an update did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-UK Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 As my car is still under warranty I'm a little nervous about using the Cyanlabs update, if it all goes ***** up will I be able to put it back to sync 3.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLB Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I think most of us with cars under warranty would feel the same way. I for one would not want the risks of having to go cap in hand to my dealer expecting them to sort out a possible issue after downloading an unofficial update. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best option I think would be not to send log file to Ford and disable WiFi updates, so you can still download official 3.4 when and if we ever we get it,but i expect I'll be corrected on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Was the option basically saying enable mobile apps (Without usb) that I couldn’t remember being there. Anyway it’s greyed out on mine, yours the same? That has to be a plan in the making having that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed you need to ‘Enable Mobile apps’ on for the the Ford Pass app to work as of course that is a mobile app.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comares2001 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I thought it had already been established on here that Android auto only works with USB cable but Apple Airplay should work with bluetooth. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple needs a cable too. Can buy adapter things to make it wireless but they tend to be cheap crap from China that don’t work very well. I use bluetooth for Apple music but need a cable for the rest . Wireless Carplay is coming tho..USA first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Samsung when first got the car, needed plugging in then. My iPhone needs plugged in for CarPlay. I’ve researched online , it is coming just not quite yet . America 1st looks like.

Actually, I don't use Android auto but as said i have enabled Mobile apps mainly for the Ford Pass app. I think I read somewhere in the forum, or maybe the FordPass app support team, that using Android auto can cause issues with the Ford Pass app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s got a few years left in it. I’d use Carplay every journey if it didn’t need plugged in. Apple can’t say they don’t have the tech , deals with bmw , probably some kind of exclusivity might be why Sync 3 doesn’t have it. ive read posts saying issues with android and Also iOS . I’d say issues are more likely to be with Sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I don’t think you can have them both selected at the same time. So you probably have to turn off ‘Enable Mobile apps via USB’ then turn on ‘Enable Mobile apps.‘ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think sync can detect an android phone as opposed to it recognising my iPhone thru usb cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
