colinmcg71 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Upgrading from 3.0 to 3.4 is only possible using cyanlabs method. It reformats the APIM storage and once done you cannot revert to 3.0. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulius55 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 However, if you do convert to 3.4 you probably wouldn't want to go back to 3.0. The process is very easy using the Cyanlabs method, I don't regret doing mine at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I able to download the files using one of the links in this thread (if someone could provide the link to either the files or the page on this thread where its explained that would be appreciated! 😁 ) and put 3.4 onto the Kuga with no issues? My question is would it be easy to downgrade back to fords original 3.0 if needs be, I wouldn't want it to invalidate any warranty etc that is on the vehicle Once you do the 3.4 update you can't go back to 3.0.

I do. There were lots of posts last year on this subject when 3.4 was released because some later vehicles got a different build from others that included this option in settings. What happens if you do have the option in the settings but it's greyed out and switched off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the confirmation but I am now confused. 🤔 I am trying to understand why some owners like you have the Local Hazard slider option shown on their connectivity settings screen and some like me do not. I thought and assumed as Comares2001 said in his earlier post that it may be due to a different sync 3.4 build number but since you have 20136 the same as both of us apparently not. Sorry, i know this is not specific to your particular query but does anyone know why there are two different connectivity settings screens when owners are on the same sync 3.4 build 20136 ?

Here is a link to the latest logo file: http://ivsubinaries.azureedge.net/swparts/1U5T-14G658-AF_1598633324000.TAR.GZ Here is a link to an updated autoinstall file too: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApcYQ_s9MXI-0kJ86eGOYbCm6w4Z?e=ww06Fo I'm running Sync 3.4.20351 with this logo file and most of the station logos are displayed. Hi Colin, link for the AutoInstall file says its expired, can I use any autoinstall file as I have a bunch of them saved from previous updates, are they all the same?

The autoinstall files are all different and specific to what you’re installing. I’ve just had a look in my onedrive and the file is gone. Sorry about that, no idea how it got deleted. I’ll upload and link a new file in a wee while. I’m out walking the dogs just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brill Thank you! Installed and all my main logos are back, i'm a fan of this update, a much more clean look 😁 Heads up for anyone downloading the above Autoinstall file, im not sure if its onedrive doing it automatically or my own laptop saving the file this way, but when I download it's calling itself 'autoinstall (1).lst' You just need to rename it to remove the (1) and then it works a charm👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Question. Do you put the radio logos file and the inst. file direct into the root directory of the usb or to you have to put the logo file into a SyncMyRide folder? I have tried to update mine with these files and when I plug it into the car all I get coming up on the screen is 'USB detected' and then nothing. I am on Sync 3.4 build 20351 and maps F8. Am in the process of expanding latest map update to a USB. Long old process. Thanks in anticipation of any help in getting my radio logos back.

Make sure the USB is formatted to ExFat Then create a folder called SyncMyRide - Inside this folder place the zipped DAB file Then place the Autoinstall.lst file in the USB (not inside the SyncMyRide folder) Post a screenshot of what the USB files look like for you if the issue continues, it will be something simple to change 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Many thanks Ben. I think my previous attempts were carried out using an incorrect inst. file. I have just tried an update using the inst. file supplied by colinmcg71 further up on this page and it worked a treat. Now just to install maps F9 and I will be a happy Easter bunny. Many thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Sorry to be asking more questions but I have spent most of the afternoon downloading map F9 file. According to the instructions on the website I should have three files. SyncMyRide, inst.file and “DONTINDX.MSA”. I am missing “DONTINDX.MSA”. Has anyone else had this problem and is this file critical? Going through another download now to see what I get this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, No, the DONTINDX.MSA file isn’t critical, it’s just an empty file that tells Sync no to index the usb drive so your update starts quicker. You probably wouldn’t notice the time difference for the update to start with or without that file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP1041 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 How can something that should be easy take up 60 pages of posts over 3 threads? Ford cannot have expected to have got this so wrong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford cannot have expected to have got this so wrong! All Ford had to do was put the updates on their website for every owner that was due an update. Most owners have used a link kindly shared by alexp, exact same download so why Ford only made it available to very few focus owners is beyond me. I was lucky to have wifi while parked in my drive for the F9 update. Got the sync update thru the website as it should be for all updates. There was owners stuck on F7 maps for 2+ years. Hence the huge interest in these threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAB file is in SyncMyRide folder still zipped. Autoinstall file is in USB and of course set for exfat. However all I get is USB detected in car.Have attached shot of USB content any help welcomed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi Comares, well 9/10 for a good try. You made the same mistake I did the first time I tried this. You need to leave the DAB file "Zipped" not unzipped, I hope you still have a copy of the zipped file that you can use. Give that a go and I'm sure it will work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I mistyped that as the DAB file is in fact still zipped. I have corrected my original post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi Brian Check you have got the right version of the Autoinstall file. I had this problem (refer my comments further up this page) and when I used the file supplied by colinmcg71 (also further up on this page) it loaded no problem.
