One good change that I'm already liking is the display of the XM channel number and name across the top bar. With 98.56% confidence I want to say that previously it only displayed "XM Preset 1" or something like that.
Now if the new hub would only come off of backorder so I can play with CarPlay!

Same issue here. The map won't load. How did you recycle the system? Do you mean to pull the battery?
I'd just like to thank everyone who is contributing to this. You guys/gals are great.
I'm having an issue that I can't get CarPlay working. I did the install the other day for version 2.2 on a Nav 2016 Lariat. So far I haven't had any issues and the install took about 20 min. Today I received the new hub. Pulled the old hub out and installed the new one. Plugged my phone in and nothing. I installed part # GJ7Z-19A387-B. Is there anything I am suppose to be doing to get CarPlay to come on? Any help would be great!!

Where should we post the bugs that we find? For example, the Applications (Ford Pass and Glympse) showing up but then (10-30 seconds) disappearing from the NAV screen and not being able to connect to them? Pandora appears to work. This is when connected to Android Auto or just connected to SYNC. both appear to unload.
This doesn't quite fit the failure to load but does skirt the failing to load, so uncertain where to send these bugs.

I gave a soft reset to the Sync 3 and powered down my Iphone 6.
I then told both the phone and Sync to forget each other in the bluetooth settings.
Then I made sure that Carplay was turned on under the iphone settings. Turned the vehicle on (in accessory mode) and plugged it in. It was acting a little funky, connecting/disconnecting repeatedly. Finally I used the lightning cable that came with the phone to ensure that I had a good licensed cord and everything has been rock solid since.
Resynced the bluetooth. Working like a champ so far
JM061,
Where should we post the bugs that we find? For example, the Applications (Ford Pass and Glympse) showing up but then (10-30 seconds) disappearing from the NAV screen and not being able to connect to them? Pandora appears to work. This is when connected to Android Auto or just connected to SYNC. both appear to unload.

All jm061 has done is make an official Ford release (v2.2) more widely available.
I have had apps disappearing from SYNC like that since v1.0 so I doubt these bugs have been introduced in 2.2. And they almost certainly have nothing to do with the update procedure that jm061 has provided us.
anyone else hosting this? I got one Non-nav file says decompression failed but it looks like it downloaded and now the link is timing out. Still downloading the 2nd file but at 268kb/sec... Using a mac.
