Alex.S Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 16 minutes ago, BlueMike2021 said: Yeah, confirmed in another thread by Alex. Nuts! So, unless anyone has the suitable F9 file for v.3.0 20204, I think that's me stuck where I am now..? That can’t be right. A 2018 Ford unable to update maps. There will be a way.

BlueMike2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I'd hope so, but if I can't get the update from Ford and no one has it online... I took a look at the Cyanlabs site, but that only seems to offer SYNC (and maps to suit) from 3.4 onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOG Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 If you watch the video, you'll see a drop-down box, where you can choose download versions, prior to 3.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMike2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 When I use the Syn3 updater as shown there, every Sync version offered in the drop down is a variant of 3.4- there is no option to scroll to anything older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMike2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Interesting change- now Ford says that my maps are up to date when I put my VIN into the update site! Car still says 6.1 however?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulius55 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The cyanlabs updater takes your unit from 3.0 to 3.4 together with the very latest maps. It is very easy and well worth doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMike2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 ...but lots of others say that my early 2018 Fiesta can only go as far as 3.0 20204..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMike2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Okay- according to Cyanlabs themselves, I CAN update past v3.0 build 20204, and thus do my maps as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really should have got offered sync 3.4 on the Ford..co.uk I got that from the site onto usb then maps OTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two separate branches each receiving their own updates 3.0 and 3.2+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMike2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Well, nuts to Ford! LOL. I've just successfully updated to 3.4 20351 and Maps F9, taking 55 minutes exactly, using the Cyanlabs method. Very pleased! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means Ford are unlikely to offer you any further updates you’ll have to update them manually from now on. Not saying it doesn’t work, it’s just an unsupported update procedure and you’re running a different version to what Ford servers expect for the car.

Yeah, considered that, but honestly, this will do me now for a long time to come and anything new can likely be done via the same means anyway. Been out this PM trying it all out, and really like the new UI and everything else. Grateful for the help here, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveP1041 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I completed the update via USB earlier today. No log file was generated despite getting the “update complete, you can disconnect USB now”message. My Vioice commands for Navigation aren’t working now. Can anyone help?

BlueMike2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 A master reset is the first thing recommended when you upgrade via Cyanlabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP1041 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I updated via the Ford Sync3 website. I’ve tried the master reset and the Navigation voice commands are still not working. Any other suggestions please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
