You just need to update the dab logo package. I’ll try and write some instructions soon if someone doesn’t beat me to it. No reset or retune necessary.

its a shame Ford cant do a quick fix.

    That just generates the XML log file to upload to Ford servers. Same as the one you can download separately if needed.

Be careful with cyanlabs reformat. It has compatibility problems with MY20 vehicles, has bricked a couple of APIMs.

There’s a warning screen at the start in the latest tool they’ve released.

Thanks for the warning...but alas I am now screwed. 
 

I can’t update using the USB because of the error and can’t reformat either. 
 

is it worth me trying a total map upgrade using AlexP package? Would that work. Mine clearly has run out of disk space..

Have you tried a master reset?

Just do the downgrade, then try the update again.

Not sure I can downgrade as the cyanlabs is not compatible with MY20.

BJ is the license file for maps, very small size 👍🏼

Evening.

So I logged all the updates, timings and everything in order.  So hopefully this will also be useful to someone else too.

All this was done over WIFI and using the scan to update function in the car.

Things that haven’t changed.

DAB Logos are the same. Odd one missing and some wrong.

@Daz-UK Pretty sure the answer to this will be no... but I don’t suppose the car downloads if within range of the router overnight?

no chance I’m gonna spend 13 hours with my car sat on the driving turning it off and on ☹️

I would but like most people the update doesn’t show for me on the Ford website ☹️ I think I’ve only ever used sync maps once though as CarPlay is much better, I just like to have things up to date 😂

Good write up. May I ask a favour of you?  Would you re check the ford download site and see if you are offered a map update of 8.2 Gb?

mine went pretty much the same as your download, but I get offered this map update I can’t apply. Thank you

I just put a mobile sim in a device in car with unlimited data and just left it,  but as the car when switched of only does it for 30 mins and then shuts down,  I had to keep going back to the car to set it going again, which is how I was able to time it near enough.

 

also when driving as it’s always connected to Wi-fi it was still downloading too

Thanks.  Yes I’ve already checked and nothing so far.  I will however keep checking for you and for me too.

 

the car is saying up to date and I’ve checked 4 times now.  So I will see if it presents me with anything. 
but nothing as of yet.

Does the download pause when the car is off and resume when back on and connected to wifi, or does it restart each time?

I have 100gb data on my sim so if the above is right I could just set my phone up as a hotspot to the car for while I’m driving around, is that right?

Yeah I tried that using phone as hotspot it does work but it’s quicker to use usb stick and download of ford site if you can I did map update F9 this morning

Yes that’s what I did. Set the phone as a perm hotspot for the car. 
Say when you switch the car off, it still continues for about 30 mins in background when doors are locked, then pauses before closing down.

soon as you get in, start car and it connects to Wi-fi it restarts in about 30 seconds

same with the insulation process. Will pause and continue After.

Once a update is complete, it tells you at the top with a symbol.  Click on it and then after I went back in and rescanned for the next update,  but most of the time the car started to download straight after.

 

just remember some updates will need a reboot of sync. So turn of engine, lock car wait 1 min and unlock car and restart engine.

Very strange indeed.  I will keep checking. But nothing showing just yet.

what is it when it downloads it. 
also is the car not seeing any more updates ?

It’s the 4 4U5T files. BAE, BBE,BCE,BDE. Car is like yours saying all up to date..

I downloaded and updated to 3.4 today using the ford website to a usb and all seemed to go well.

Having checked again i have now been offered the Maps updated and i have just downloaded a 21GB file and now preparing a large usb drive to run the update tomorrow.

Thing is the instructions claim i should have the following files on the drive: A folder titled “SyncMyRide” •One file “autoinstall.lst” •One file “DONTINDX.MSA”

However after checking the 21GB file when unzipped (zero errors) it only shows: A folder titled “SyncMyRide” •One file “autoinstall.lst”

Can anyone put my mind at rest that this will work?

PS I too would be keen to know how to get the DAB logo's back as all mine seem to have vanished

Go back several pages where alexp points out that the indexing file is not always included now. The Ford notes are several years old.

As were the F7 maps..😂😂😂

Thanks for the reply, i assume that means when i stick the usb stick in this morning it will install ok?

Been through a number of pages on this thread, couldn't quite see the one you referenced.

I did see AlexP suggest he was working on a logo package fix 🙂
