Default SYNC 3 Build Upgrade

I have a 2018 F150 XLT with Sync 3.0 NON nav, with 8 inch screen. Ver 3.0 Build 18093

I see an update is available to build Ver 3.0 Build 19205.

I am having no problems or issues with it and am hesitant to update it unless there is something to gain, or some useful enhancement. I'm a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of guy.

What would I have to gain, is there some other compelling reason to change?
Thanks.

Didn’t that version fix the speed discrepancy with Waze on CarPlay?

You can always revert to the current build if you have issues. It’s not a one way update.

I had 19205 on my '18 XLT. Tons of issues with Android Auto. I thought it was my phone, but I tested on my 2020 Lariat that has native 3.4 and everything was working properly, so I know it was a SYNC issue.

19205 is the most up to date version, but I got fed up and did an unofficial upgrade to 3.4 today and I am much happier now.

Thanks for that info. Since it appears I have nothing to really gain by the upgrade, I will just keep it as is until a major upgrade to something above v3.0 is released.
