unofix Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi YOG, well done with the F10 maps. I've not used CyanLabs before is it easy ? I have already updated to SYNC 3, Software Version 3.4 Build 20351 from the Ford site, I just need the new F10 maps. Do you have a link for them ?

Their Syn3Updater app will download all the relevant packages, copy them on to your USB drive and create the install scripts for you. To install F10 maps on Sync 3.4.19274 and above it uses the downgrade/reformat method. This temporarily puts you back on Sync 3.3 so the reformat tool will work. Once completed you will be back on the latest Sync 3.4 and F10 maps. This takes just under an hour, (depending on the speed of your USB drive) half as long as the autoinstall method.

YOG Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I just downloading Sync v3.4.21020. I see there's an option to use my current map, which is already F10, but I'm going to redownload it, just in case there has been any changes made!!

If you just want to update to 3.4.21020 I would suggest you select ‘keep existing maps’. It will save you a lot of install time. F10 maps are the most current version. Updating the apps alone will only take 5-10 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I never be able to load updates from official ford site anymore after doing this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmcg71 Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Hi S, If you uploaded your xml log file to Ford after doing the official update to 3.4.20351 then as far as Ford’s servers are concerned you are on Sync 3.4.20351 and F9 maps. Atfer using cyanlabs to update to F10 maps (and 3.4.21020 if you choose to) don’t upload any new xml log file to Ford and make sure automatic updates is turned off in Sync settings. That way you’ll still be able to get any new official updates. Cheers, Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlbbb Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Just took my 2017 Mk3.5 from Sync 3.0/F9 all the way up to 3.4/F10 (went to latest 3.4.21020) with the CyanLabs tool. Fantastically easy, and worked without a hitch. Sync feels a bit more responsive now - no idea why Ford don't make it available to all if it has performance improvements like this! Looks great too compared to the old 3.0 interface. I didn't need to flash APIM either to get the DAB logos which is a relief as the process looks a bit involved (and risky!). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlbbb Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Has anyone sent up the XML file to Ford on a car that shouldn't have higher than 3.0 on? Just wondering if I should bother using the tool to generate the XML and upload to Ford to stop it showing it needing a Sync update against the VIN now that I've been a bit naughty and flashed it from 3.0 to 3.4? Guess I'll just do all future updates via CyanLabs tool from now on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updating from Sync 3.0 to 3.4 is a one way trip. Sync 3.2 and above use a different partition layout to Sync 3.0 hence the reformat during install. Any updates from now on will have to be via CyanLabs/unofficial which is no great hassle as the process is so quick and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfisher1967 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I've already used the official path to update to Sync 3.4, can I still use CyanLabs to update my maps to F10 in one easy trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, Yes, you can still use Cyanlabs to update your maps to F10 if you like. As you are already on Sync 3.4 the Cyanlabs app will automatically select the downgrade/reformat method. This will temporarily install Sync 3.3 so the reformat tool will work then install Sync 3.4 and F10 maps. During this process you will see a progress bar and information displaying which packages are currently being installed. The whole process should take between 50-70 minutes depending on the speed of your USB drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.S Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Am I alone in getting offered a 800MB sync update from the ford website and then some kind of map update? Is it possible it’s f10 maps? I’ll be downloading the sync update later today . Only just recently got F9 ! That was OTA I have a usb stick for this one. The F9 OTA was because the ford website were telling me I was up to date at the time. Other way around this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comares2001 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Probably just some missing or updated files. Won't be F10 as apart from the fact it hasn't been released by Ford the download will be around 27 GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Alex, The 800MB Sync update will install version 3.4.20351 which is the latest available from Ford. The map update afterwards will most likely be the remaining F9 packages that you didn’t get via the OTA update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The audio screen looks much better now. The station logo/album art is on the right with a larger blurred version of logo/album art behind. 3.4.20136 3.4.20351 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
