Sync 3 Map updating file issue

Hi,

 

I'm trying to update my maps for a long journey on Friday and I've run int an issue. The download works fine, it's just that there should be three files according to the Ford website after the download zip file has been extracted; autoinstall.lst, DONTINDX.MSA and the SyncMyRide folder. However, after extracting everything to the usb drive I only have 2 files; autoinstall.lst and the SyncMyRide folder. The SyncMyRide folder only has the file GB5T-14G386-AC.tar.gz file and not as I had hoped the DONTINDX.MSA file somehow locked away inside.

Would I be right in saying that if I went ahead and updated the maps on my Sync 3 with the two files instead of the three as stated by the Ford website that I could brick the Sync 3, or at the very least waste nearly 1.5 - 2hours doing the update only for it to fail and I'd have to restart the update again ? I've included the files as an attachment just to let you see what I'm getting.

Many thanks,

 

 

Martin
