Default Sync loading over a minute

Does anyone have a fix for Sync screen taking over a minute to load? Screen is black at startup for a minute then ford logo appears, sometimes screen goes black again then will come on. I have had the reverse camera freeze for a bit then the system will reset. This all seemed to start about a month or so ago after an update. I haven’t had any problems with this sync, its been great until now. I believe my sync is up to date 4.3.3. I had to cut the video down in order to upload the attached video but original is over a minute.

I do not have a fix for you, but mine is doing the same thing. I'm also having an issue with Google Maps. The infotainment screen comes up but the map screen stays black. Sometimes if I pull over and shut the truck off and restart it, the map screen will come up. Both situations are really annoying.

I have done the reset but still continues to happen. Its not every time I start the truck but at lest twice a week. I kept telling my buddy this was the first truck without sync issues. should have kept my mouth shut!

My 21 does it too. I have tried the reset. It seems to do it more when it is really hot in the cab.

Are you referring to the buttons on the steering wheel?

Mine did something similar 2 weeks after delivery. it would not turn on (not delayed), black screen. tried a sync4 force restart (hold volumn and next simultaneously for 10 sec), issue went away and being good so far (3 month).
I did notice the nav took a while to load for some reason, sometimes I had to switch to a different menu then back and it will load.
Other than that, it's being a pretty good system. that being said, my last truck had a basic radio from the 90's so I don't really had anything to compare to. lol
