Just a clarification to those looking for 2.2.
You can use any version of voice from a nav package, and any version of an upgrade or downgrade as a starting point. 2.2 was my suggestion as most people already had a copy but seems like that's more difficult now. So you could use 2.3 nav voice, and install 3.0 for example, then install the complete 2.3 without modification.
To be able to install a complete Ford package without error and without modification, the point is you need to get a voice package installed from a nav package, and you need to be installing the ultimate complete oem package from a base sync version that isn't what you want installed (i.e., don't install 2.3 onto 2.3)
Reboot probably includes turn ignition off, open door, let sleep, turn ignition on. Button reset sequence will be for sure a reboot. Master reset isn't necessary. I did it on the bench so for me reboot means cut power off then on.

Yes indeed.
They should all be the same. That utility just deletes Gracenotes, which gets reinstalled and updated when you update to 3.0. You actually probably don't need to do that step bc it'll do it when you install 3.0, I'm just covering bases in case people try this method on a package install that doesn't include that utility. What we're doing is freeing up space by installing a smaller Nav version of voice, and removing Gracenotes. That lets the full 3.0 install go without a hitch.
