Default F150 Sync firmware

So, my truck just did an update. It sucks. Anyone know where I can get previous versions of firmware for the radio?

Besides "it sucks"

What is actually different about it?

Its not firmware, its software. You have to manually update the firmware using Forscan, UCDS or IDS. You can go backward to version 3.3 and have the original look back. You would, of course, have to turn off automatic updates and you will be frozen in time.

Don't like the look of it and they have decided that it s unsafe for me to browse my thumb drive for music while the truck is in motion.
Not acceptable.

Here are the downgrade files.
https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApUOIKBv8RTjg7EF...vRXIQ?e=Vl4FdV

Put them on a USB drive in the same file structure they are downloaded:
1. Root directory called SyncMyRide that will have 2 files, the apps file 4U5T-14G381-AN.TAR.GZ and voice file 4U5T-14G391-CJ.TAR.GZ
2. 1 file called autoinstall.lst that goes in the root directory.

If you have file extensions hidden, you will need to enable them or else the .lst file and the TAR.GZ files will not show the full extension.

It will take about 10-15 minutes to install and when finished, it will prompt you to remove the usb and reboot the system. This will then put you back on 3.3 version 19052

Thank you for the quick reply.
You've given me hope that I can at least browse by music again.
