I went on a 70 mile trip today, using Google Maps. I have to say that it is easier to enter destinations because it appears that Google understands voice commands a little better than Sync. So, is not so bad after all.


Still don't like the fact that you have to any steps to go to the climate or radio functions. Like they say, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Currently untested. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.
Thanks for posting the Non-Nav version. Sounds like it's been successful with the few installs completed. I'm tempted to run it but will probably wait a little bit longer.

Installed during lunch and all seems ok so far. All my settings persisted and Apple CarPlay works normally. No obvious functionality change, menu system is a bit different.

Out of curiosity: did you update from v2.0 or v2.2?

Thank you. I was able to update the following:

2017 Non Nav 2.2 to 3.0
2018 Non Nav 2.3 to 3.0
2017 Nav 2.2 to 3.0
2018 Nav 2.3 to 3.0

Note the non nav one is a two part install. It will reboot then continue. do not remove the USB until it says complete and to do so.

Things I've noticed:
1) GT blue features shraper text and a new font.
2) clipping / resolution over lay issues have been corrected in the day mode for GT blue on the home screen.
3) the animation time has been drastically reduced which makes the GUI feel much more snappy over Sync 3 V2.2.
4) multiple icons have changed.
5) 'Display Off' button is now more accessible within the display menu.
6) You lose the ability to select Night mode at full brightness / lose the ability to run black Sync 3 themes during the day because auto dim has new conditional parameters.
7) I think iPhones no longer index every time you connect them over bluetooth but I need to test it.
8) This... which I triggered by accident when I broke GT Blue with ForScan and haven't been able to figure out how (I believe it can be displayed as long as Sync is set up for HEV & Ford Classic theme):

Just updated to v3.0 and its definitely snappier with some icon changes. The heated steering wheel icon now appears on home screen.

With regards to the heated steering wheel icon, what do you mean?

Did you add it there with ForScan? or for that matter, have you ever used ForScan?

Do you mean the Heated steering wheel icon is in the black title bar? because that isn't new.

Or is it the user-select ON / OFF button that just appeared?

Photo?

Is there any fix to get Gracenote back on my system?
For anyone interested, I updated to v3.0 and got Gracenote back.

Could you guys please advise. This is the first time I met with TMC. In Russia, TMC is very poor, so I can't get any official information.
1. How long does it take to get TMC info from car/unit starts?
2. If the street is free of traffic, should it be marked as green or something similar, or only streets with heavy traffic of jams should be marked on the map?
Maybe you can post a map with all possible information.
Google maps have all possible marks, starting from green - free to go street and dark red, traffics is blocked.
Thanks.
