    It worked just fine. Thank you for posting the step by step of the sync update. I have a bronco 2023 and the sync was driving me crazy.

    Thank you Jim for the excellent video. I have a 2020 Explorer with the same Sync 3.4.22251 version, and I agree, what a load of crap. Updated with your easy to follow video with my MacAir and USB. Had to rewind several times, a little slow on the technology and Mac, but it works again! Hopefully the intermittent blank screen and missing Nav are a thing of the past. Thanks again for making it easy for old guys to understand. Now to update my maps!

    Thanks for the info! Worked like a champ. One question - how does one get updated navigation maps once the update is done? Given the update I performed, the version of Sync Ford has linked to my vin is not 3.4 - so an navigation update fails with the error stating the Sync software does not support(match) the software downloaded for my vin. Any ideas? Thanks again

    I have a ford explorer 2020 xlt and today I updated to version 3.4.23188. The update completed very well but the system did not create the Log or .Xml file to upload it to the Ford platform. What I can do?

    I’m really unsure, Jim how up to date these maps really are as it keeps telling me that my software is up to date when my maps are still at F7 very confusing.

    Hi! I have been enjoying to watch your video! I got question, I do have the same model and year raptor which 2019. Since I updated software, i just noticed that my raptor terrain mode has changed to only “Normal, Slippery, and Tow/haul” instead of there were more than 3 modes before. For instance sports, baja, normal, tow, and etc.. Im wondering if you have the same experience. If you know know how to fix it, plz share with me kindly. Thank you 🙏🏻

    I’m using 2016 explorer sync2, but I replaced it with sync3 a while ago. The version is 3.4, but the build is 19200. The latest version is 23188, is it possible to update? Is there a way if it’s possible? The region is Korea.

    Kayla, if you're still having trouble, please follow Jim's instructions again. When you're ready to download the file, right-click and choose "Download file as." Save it directly to the USB drive. I was experiencing the same issues, and this method worked perfectly for me.
