Quick google of sync 3 startup screens should show you most of them. I have the raptor one right now. Switching back as I don't have a raptor...but it was nice to have a change for a bit. It's not just the screen but also the animation.

currently it comes up in red letters says raptor. There is a honeycomb pattern in gray behind it that then has a "breathing effect" to it. The only other one that isn't some type of performance vehicle (to my knowledge) is the Lincoln theme...but again it's a Ford not a Lincoln so kinda silly.

i know you can change instrument cluster screen to say LOBO but not sure with sync screen

I set my radio to the Lincoln theme. Yeah it says Lincoln when the radio shuts off. But the brown is a much smother look.

are you talking about brown for button colors or the border color on the screen? I changed button colors as I prefer different colors. I believe nav is green, audio red, phone blue something like that.

not knocking anyone for switching, it's your car (hell mine says raptor right now) just got sick of people getting and either saying this isn't a raptor! Or oh I didn't realize this was a raptor...both ending with an explanation about how I changed it and a confused look

No the Whole Theme is the Lincoln, Brown and a Light Tan. I was able to switch the start up screen to still say FORD instead of Lincoln. It only says Lincoln now, when you shut the system off. (I can live with that) I have a Caribou color truck and the tan leather interior, so the Brown looks a lot, better To Me!

Check out this video. Shows you how to use a test mode to see the different themes. Only Ford GT and the Lincoln ones changes the blue color. The rest really only change the animation.

That made me remember the chrome girls that the truckers would have on their trucks in the eighties and nineties.
