SgtAWilson Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 You cant use CyanLabs to update Sync 3.0 V3 maps - only if you want to go down the non-ford approved route of updating the whole system along with the maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What concerns me with CyanLabs is the number of feedback comments on their site from people saying their installation has gone wrong. Personally I’m not brave (or foolish) enough to risk it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’m not brave (or foolish) enough to risk it. Can't see much advantage in the CyanLabs route whilst we can get the latest maps for Sync 3.0 direct from Ford. The benefits of moving to Sync 3.4 seem very small to me. Once you have chosen the CyanLabs route I believe you are stuck with them, you can no longer update direct through Ford because your car no longer has the version of Sync that Ford expect it to have. I notice that CyanLabs are charging for some customised versions of maps, there is nothing to stop them making all maps chargeable if they wish. If Ford decide to close the CyanLabs route then people who have gone that way are likely to get stuck with no route for future map updates. Its not for me unless Ford stop providing map updates for Sync 3.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the one built into Windows 10 and it worked correctly. Some people with Apple computers seem to be having problems unzipping the files. I've tried with both the Windows 10 built-in one and 7-Zip. The weird thing is my system is now showing F10 maps and version 3.0.20204, but no log file was written to the USB. Plugging the same USB back in again & I get the PKG error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. When you managed to successfully install the F10 update did you manage to do a key cycle between part 1 & 2? I just ran the update, after 40 mins it said to do a key cycle but before I could it restarted Sync and started updating again. Wasn't sure what to do next, so decided to stop and do the key cycle. Then got the dreaded PKG_ERR03 message! I now have F10 maps but no Log file to load onto the Ford web site. When I try re-inserting the the USB it just gives me the PKG_ERR03 message, saying some functions will not work until I re-download the software and install again. When I go back on the Ford web site it is now offering me 9.4GB update which I cannot download because it just gives the constant "Please wait....." message. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks billybob66. Tried that, unpacked it onto USB, started car, put the USB in.....nothing happens! Have tried two different memory sticks - never had that problem with the Interrogator before.

SgtAWilson Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Hi All, Between Parts 1 & 2 the screen did flash "do a key cycle", but it just restarted itself and carried on straight away installing Part 2 - only at the end did it say that the "update had been completed and is safe to remove the USB stick". Then upon a key cycle, the update complete little arrow appeared on screen and all was installed. The LOG file utility never seems to work when doing an update, and I have always had to use the extra Ford interrogator download (Interrogator_AD.zip) file on a USB to create the necessary LOG file. Which works fine for me. Im sure you dont need explaining but . . .You just unpack that onto a blank USB stick as usual. Start the car, insert the stick, then after a few moments the 'update' appears on screen and then quickly says done and remove stick. You then turn off car, and take your USB Stick to your pc to upload the LOG file. If the full update hasnt worked properly, cant you just reinsert the USB stick and let it run through the whole update process again? As I didnt think that it checks to see whats installed first?

Thanks for the reply which explains why it went wrong, as I did the key cycle when it had already started the second part of the update. I did try to re-run the whole update several times but it quickly gave the reader PKG_ERR03. When I got home I went to re-download the whole update from Ford so I could try again with a fresh pack. However, the flipping car used my house wifi to check for updates before I got a chance. So when I went to the site it was (and still is ) offering a 9.4GB update - which will not download. That's when I tried the Interrogator file. Like you I have never had a problem using the interrogator before but it just won't do anything. Additionally, when I put the ignition on this morning - with no USB plugged in - I got a message that there is an update in progress. Then a few seconds lated I got a message saying the installation was complete and would take effect on the next key cycle. All very weird! I have now contact Ford via their chat service and they have raised a "case" for me. Not holding my breath for a fix though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtAWilson Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I am guessing that the extra download will be the 'voice file' and 'grace notes', as these are installed in Part 2 Fingers crossed that you will be able to download these. If not then you could edit the original complete download package "autoinstall.lst" file to try and force them to install separately as follows; ; SYNC3 Consumer Application Upgrade - Release 3.0.25 - Only for Nav/EU assemblies. [SYNCGen3.0_3.0.20204] Item1 = JR3T-14G422-BF Open1 = SyncMyRide\JR3T-14G422-BF.tar.gz Item2 = JR3T-14G423-AB Open2 = SyncMyRide\JR3T-14G423-AB.tar.gz Options = Delay,Include,Transaction [SYNCGen3.0_ALL] Item1 = GB5T-14G386-AC Open1 = SyncMyRide\GB5T-14G386-AC.tar.gz Options = Delay,Include,Transaction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I deleted the original download to ensure I had a clean USB for the interrogator file. So not an option. My biggest worry is that the error has stopped the Sync from recognising new updates - hence not recognising the interrogator one. Will just have to wait on Ford I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the good news is that I finally got the interrogator to run. Didn’t download the log file first time but did the second. Uploaded to Ford site which now shows map up to date. Bad news is that when I start the car it is still sometimes saying “Installation in progress……” without any usb stick inserted. Also, although F10 map is installed (and was from first interrupted update) ther Gracenote version is blank. I’m hoping that in a few days the Ford site will offer another update to resolve things. Meanwhile I’m liaising with Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone let me know if that is still the latest version?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtAWilson Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yes, it is the latest version, there has been no update to Gracenotes for Sync 3 v3.0 for sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
