SYNC 3 WALLPAPER CHANGE

Featured Replies

Does anyone know if the sync 3 wallpaper/screen can be changed to your own pics,it can be done on sync2 but can't see how it gets done on settings on the sync 3.



The only modifications on sync3 are splash screen / button theme and base colours and then only via an elm cable and Forscan.

There are some decent splash screens aren’t there, I’m sure there is an ST one, a Mustang one and a Lincoln one too

Okay folks,thanks for the replys,I didn't think it could be done when I tried looking last night but thought I'd ask just incase I was doing something wrong,strange though it can be done on sync 2 but on sync 3 it can't be done.it was quite easy to do on sync2 and quite smart as well with background pictures.

You have access to GT, GT350, Vignale, Mustang, Raptor, Lincoln (various), ST, RS, Continental, Ford Classic.

You can sample them through the Sync3 test menu by pressing & holding eject + fast forward buttons together.

Under Test Settings you can sample the various splash screens, The Lincoln & GT ones also change the theme of the main screen / buttons.

Sample of the Lincoln one-

GT sample-

These reset to the factory settings on powering off the radio, to make the changes permanent you will need to alter the APIM HEX codes-

You can also set the system to permanently leave an easy link to the test menu via the Testing Settings tab so you can change the splash screens on the fly without having to go through the eject & FF routine again.
