sounds good give us the good news

in worst-case scenario if the installation goes wonky or not complete, does it total the APIM without a chance to do-over?

Does any know if its possible to swap in a 18MY APIM to gain the extra rom space required future updates ie v3.2+?

I wonder if ford changed anything else (hardware wise) that would restrict say a 17MY truck from swapping in a newer apim?

I noticed that date! DId I read somewhere that in this version, Waze is not yet avaialable? should I hold off on putting V3.2.1804 on my 2016 Limited with v 2.3? I saw the great thread where people had problems and back installed to get off of V3.

I'm fine waiting if it's going to be on April fools.

iOS 11.2.5 broke support for app link anyway. So even if Waze does become available any time soon, iOS no longer connects to Sync 3 lol.

I installed a newer release of Sync 3 again. As far as I can tell so far with this one there is no way to disable the wifi prompts like I could on previous versions of Sync 3 (builds 17276 & 17307)

Credit for this goes to a mysterious figure by the name of Paul.

Sync 3.0.18025
- JR3T-14G381-AL

Where can it be downloaded at? My usual source for these files doesn't have that version you posted about.
