Default Sync 3 Backgrounds

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any info on it.

I just noticed on my 2019 that I can now change the background in Sync 3. The ones they have are pretty boring though. Are there any aftermarket one's out there and how would I install them.

Thanks in advance!

You can choose different Ford/Lincoln car themes, using forscan.

Only necessary if he wants to permanently hardcode a theme, if not OP can go into FCIM maintenance and setup a theme through next powercycle.

I think the OP is talking about the new background feature on Sync 3 version 3.3 coming on the new 2019's. Mine has it but would be nice to be able to add your own.

You can't get THAT version that's shown above, it's only for newer trucks. You can go to owner.ford.com and log in or create an account and download the newest version for you truck, copy the files to a usb drive, and update that way.

Time to bring this one back from the dead.....

Is there any way to make any picture of your choice your background with Sync3 like you could with previous versions of Sync? I might be completely blind, but I'm not seeing how to do it. Piece of cake in my '15 Mustang.....

Necroing is bad m'kay (Even a month out as this thread WAS dead.)

Starting a new thread would have been better.

No you can't add a background to Sync 3 except what is explained above (2019's).

Default Colour Change

Hi there,

How did you change the selection colours of your screen? Mine is the standard blue and would be great to be able to change it to pink as yours.
