it's not official for F-150s yet. The version I have was originally posted by livinitup in the Forscan sticky and other versions of it have appeared since. According to owner.ford.com my 2016 XLT is up to date with version 2.0

Is it safe to go from Sync3 v1.0 to 3.0 build 17276 (non-nav) or does one have to go from v1.0 to 2.2?

I have this posted on another thread.
https://www.f150forum.com/f118/sync3...4/#post5552178

But, I wanted to post it here since this is the main Sync 3 thread for issues like this.

Anyone see this trying to do a flash drive Sync 3 update? I'm trying to go to the latest v2.3 from v2.0

Good to know proper exFat support is on the Roadmap. I rolled back to 2.3 due to the dimming issue, but hopefully a newer version of 3.x rolls out or is leaked soon.

I'm not really sure what the dimming issue is. I saw that you can dim but I just set to auto in the day night section (sorry can't go to truck right now) so I get the black background at night.

That's what I'm wondering might be my issue. Maybe my version is too old that I can't jump right into the latest version. hmmm

Not sure if you are trying to update to v.2.3 or 3.0 but FWIW, I was able to upgrade directly from v.1.0 to v.2.3 w/o any major issues. The first loading of the nav maps took forever after the update and reboot but eventually they loaded and the navigation works as expected.

Hey guys. I'm attempting to do a Sync 4" conversion to Sync 3, and have a car play android auto USB hub question. Does anyone know the part number for the USB harness from radio to hub? I can't find it anywhere for the life of me. Thanks so much in advance.

This is happening to every non-nav system... Their update is broken. It requires more memory than is available with the hardware.
