What brand of antenna are you using? The "$5 eBay" ones are known to have a high failure rate. What was the donor vehicle for the Sync 3 APIM? If not from an F150, did you correctly program the AsBuilt to match an F150? Just because it powers up and works, doesn't mean the AsBuilt is correct. There are several parameters that are vehicle specific that can affect the GPS.
For the phone prompt issue, turn the volume up while a text is being read. The audio volume (like when listening to the radio) and prompt volume are separate, and the prompt volume must be adjusted when a prompt is playing.

Also, capital letters at the beginning of sentences make it much easier for people to read.

Thanks for the reply . It came out of a 2017 f150 I found a vin from a 16 f150 as built data that had about everything my vehical did . I am new to forscan so i only changed certain things. Is it correct i am not sure. As for the antenna amazon eightwood and other one was bingfu about $ 15 each. I did not want to change all the asbuilt at once should i have ? And the volume issue dosent change by turning it up is just dosent read it no matter how hi i turn it up. Thanks for any help
