How to add video player and custom wallpapers in Sync 3.4
If this topic interests you, read deep into the links, download the files and take screenshots of web sites now, because Big Blue has a track record of dispatching their emergency legal team every time this subject comes up.
100% of the credit of the content here goes to @Au{R}oN and his collaborators which I assume includes @Acool . User Sanek2033 was the first person to write openly about the Sync 3.4 format utility over a year ago (thank you!), and he covers these topics in extraordinary detail so be sure to read his fantastic write up on this subject over at drive2 .ru
Just like my other threads, the first post will evolve as users complete the processes; but for now, I'd just like to link to the well written articles which thoroughly detail the free open source utilities and consider sending a paypal donation directly to Au{R}oN89. Their move is one I highly respect.
These are most of the links you will want to read and possibly back up.
I will edit this post to share only the most relevant open source content as time progresses.
Also, as an FYI, none of these are affiliate links. I gain nothing from posting this. I felt that it's important to share this information before it becomes a myth. Also, I doubt any of you guys are staying up late on weekdays reading through random Russian blog posts.
This topic deserved its own thread so that my other Sync related threads don't get clogged up with unrelated content.

Just like my other threads, the first post will evolve as users complete the processes; but for now, I'd just like to link to the well written articles which thoroughly detail the free open source utilities in addition to explaining why nobody should pay anybody else to add custom wallpapers or a video player to Sync 3 unless if it's a paypal donation directly to Au{R}oN. In summary, their software and hard work was stolen, so they turned around and decided to open it up to everybody as a giant F U to the people who stole it and charge fees.

I don't want to take this off topic, so I can delete this and start a new thread if needed, but I noticed on one of the fmods links that it states the ability to add custom backgrounds is for SYNC 3, but doesn't state what version. Would this also apply to SYNC 3.0? Thats one of the things (maybe the only thing) I miss about the My Ford Touch system.

The russian site says it works on v3.4 19101, v3.3 19052.
"So we waited for the Video Player from the AuRoN89 team, for versions v3.0- 3.3 and v3.4, site: www.fmods.net
Quote from fmods: "It uses the built-in player and integrated multimedia libraries Sync 3, for this reason it is extremely lightweight and stable, does not conflict with standard functions.Supports most video formats: 3G2, 3GP, M4V, MP4, MPEG4, MOV, AVI, etc.
The player is not tied to any equipment / serial number.Everyone can download it and use FREE, just download and install using the eMMC reader. Resale of SOFTWARE is strictly prohibited, but you can request installation fees, but not for the software itself. "
