[SYNCGen3.0_ALL]

Item1 = JL7T-14G421-BA.tar.gz
Open1 = SyncMyRide\JL7T-14G421-BA.tar.gz

Options = Delay, AutoInstall

the part number for their sync3 nav usb is JV1J-10F855-AA, or HV1J-10F855-AA which can be ordered online through german ford for $38 USD https://www.online-teile.com/ford-er...c35e8bd4d2a1c9

Looking at the picture, it looks like a Focus cluster in the background. So, Im willing to bet thats not a photo of you holding that usb key correct?

Don't believe he claimed it was (him holding it).

Anyway as already mentioned it is pretty pointless given you still need a registration key tied to a specific APIM to use the new maps. Unless some underground forum has already hacked that, which wouldn't completely surprise me.

Sorry to break the current train of thinking... I just wanted to update anyone that had been following my frustrations... I did install the new USB, and carplay was working great, and I was happy... Then one day it wouldn't work/connect... it is still the same old, one time you get in and it works flawlessly, then the next time, no Bluetooth, no USB audio, no nav, and no carplay...

Made an appointment for a new APIM next Saturday... I think I have tried every single other thing you can try to get it to work and nothing has helped.

There is an app floating around for android, that lets you mirror the entire phone. (for free).

Works on non root and rooted phones.

Rooted phones grants you a few extras such as touch input on sync3 etc.

but root is not reqiured for core functionality.

Is anyone able to download anything from the owners website? I have tried for weeks and all I get is spinning. I'm just trying to upgrade my 17 from 2.0 to 2.3 software. It tells me its available when I login but I'm unable to download.

Hello all I'm in Canada. Just got a USB plug from ford: HC3Z-19A387-B and replaced my old one. When I replaced it and turned the truck on and plugged my phone in nothing happened except the usual charging. No apple carplay pops up in setting (iPhone user). So I checked the usb plug connections those were fine. Checked my new plug the sticker on it says it's a different part as seen on the picture below. I tried master resting no luck. Tried both usb no luck. I did the sync 3 update long ago and just recently decided to buy the plug. Help!!! Any troubleshooting tips?

What version of software is your Sync system on?
