Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Upgrading to Sync 3.4 can be easy and gives you access to new features. We will learn how upgrade your sync 3 system to the sync 3.4 system. Updating to sync 3.4 system is an easy process that I have broken down into steps to make this tutorial easy to follow.
Sync 3.4 update is something a lot Ford owners want as most Ford vehicles up until recent were shipped out with older Sync 3 versions such as sync 3.1 or sync 3.3. With this tutorial you can easily update your Sync 3 to Sync 3.4 and enjoy all the features Sync 3.4 has to offer!

@@Red5oh Can't wait. Thinking of upgrading the 3 door speakers, but not knowing if the factory amp can handle it? Don't want to go crazy adding a sub. Just want clearer better sound quality with just a spec more bass.
Have you helped anyone with a 15-17? I did this on my 16 a long time ago and the software changed. I’m trying to do it on a friends 16. It recognizes it but does go through the whole process.

It should be the same process for 2016. 2015s are not compatible for Sync 3. I would probably upgrade to latest sync available for 2016 through OEM Ford update (USB or WiFi - I have videos on my channel) then update through cyan labs to get Sync 3.4

Yea we will probably try to do the newest upgrade Ford let’s us do and then try to hack it. Couse we tried on an old update and it didn’t do anything. I did it so long ago but I think I did this as well.

Mine is a 2019 I think you should be fine or see if there’s an option to pick 2020 or older

is it the yes or no warning that comes up at end of process? if so just answer the warning correctly.. if your car isnt newer than 2020 than or any of the other questions it askes you then hit no.. it will still proceed with the install or whatever.. u said its a 2017 so u should hit no which is what i did for a 2016

you have a 2017...MY20 APIM is for cars manufactured 2020 or newer...unless you head your APIM replaced since you purchased the car you will be fine. Answer the questions correctly when you see that. You can not use REFORMAT mode for the MY20 APIM, only auto install.
Pretty sure this just bricked my screen, it won't turn on and won't reset. Followed all instructions...hope it's not too much to replace it. ☹️

I believe with cyanlab you can but haven’t tried it personally. These updates are safe if you have sync 3 already. With sync 2 it may not work

Hey quick question, I see some posts where it says if you have a 2016 f-150 you only have to switch out usb port to activate CarPlay after updating to 3.4. Is that not correct?

Did you copy the files in correctly? I would suggest using a different USB as sometimes certain USBs act up and don't let you update properly.
