Yep. Made sure USB and Bluetooth devices were removed/deleted and did a master master reset each time. Even pulled the Sync fuse and let it sit for 1/2 hour a couple of times. Seriously, I have spent a lot of time on this.

On the plus side I have learned a lot: how to find and understand my current SYNC configuration in OASIS/PTS, how to read the product, version and build number from the .lst file, learned how these download packages are put together and what each of the files does (for non-nav), learned how to control the order of install/execution of each of the data files. I just can't get it working perfectly like I had it with build 17194.

But I can live without Gracenote and with that annoying wifi popup for a while I guess...

If all you want is carplay, Sync 3 with V2.0 or higher and the new USB hub will be sufficient. Considering you just bought a brand new lariat I would make the dealership pay for that hub, but maybe thats just me.

Just be aware that ford monitors access to PTS and they will kill the login if you're accessing too frequently offsite since its an internal tech/manager site.

OASIS on the other hand anyone can buy a subscription to it.

Build 17276 got rid of the wifi pop up for me. While build 17194 caused it. I think it was my install method and not the update itself.

17276 is the first update where I did both a master reset before and after the update to clear any residual cache. After the install I also force reset the APIM twice with ForScan.

Forced module reset is not the same as a master reset.

I know people first hand who installed 17194 and also ended up with the wifi pop up prompts. Simply installing 17276 over top of that did not eliminate the wifi prompts for them and those people used my file on my usb key (Im away for
work and left my usb drive with a friend). They did not reset the APIM with ForScan and whether they did a master reset or not is questionable.

So I think it comes down to the process you undertake to load an update and not the actual package itself.

now the only prompt I receive when I turn on the truck is a little message for sync connect which says: “the NSA is spying on your passengers please let them be aware, if they denounce real time vehicle tracking, kick them out�.

Aside from the mislabeled 17194 the other day, I think I agree with you. I think they mislabeled file had some incorrect files in the syncmyride folder. Since then however, I've used the right 17276 download package where the hash checks out with the values Dan posted above. I've tried different USB drives of different sizes. FAT32 and ExFAT. USB 2.0 and 3.0. Following the restart message and ignoring it. Master reset and no reset. Doing the install in pieces or all at once. I kept track of everything so I was only changing one variable at a time, but I haven't found a combination that works. And still I have the Wi-Fi popup and no Gracenote. I'm cool with that for now.

My dealer said they'd reload 2.2 for $100, but if they use the USB method they'll fail too - I tried reloading 2.2 using factory OEM files. No luck. ​​​​And so the APIM reset looks more appealing now.

What would be sweet is if the experts on this created a master "how-to", sort of like how Livnitup had his Forscan tutorial.

Just to confirm my earlier post, I did use the updated 17276 package and still lost Gracenote and still have the wifi popup. Didn't think of trying an APIM reset via Forscan, will give that a shot when I get a chance.

Please let us know how that goes. Good luck! I'll do the same, tomorrow if I get the time.

Been through quite a few posts and no one has really said what are the differences between v2.2 and v3.0? If I missed it I apologize.

Android Auto being much snappier is what I seen mentioned most often, not sure what else. I'm on 2.2 though.
