I have a 2017 Taurus limited and the Infortainment system has been acting crazy so when I call the ford dealership they all acted like they had no idea what an update was and was trying to make me schedule an expensive appointment to "diagnose " and another few months to run it though my warranty.

Yours is THE best how-to video I've seen thus far! Kudos brother! I have a question regarding SiriusXM channel support via Sync3? I recently purchased a CPO 2017 SuperDuty which has Sync3 with Sirius and NAV. up until earlier today, it was running Sync3 version 2.2. I used your video and successfully upgraded it to version 3.0 and submitted the file to Ford. Problem I am seeing is I am still not able to tune my SiriusXM radio past channel 219. I was told this was fixed via a TSB but I was thinking this update to 3.0 would fix it. Am I missing something? is this still a problem and if so, what must I do to get it resolved. Thanks in advance for any help on this! --Andy from Houston TX

Ironically, this has nothing to do with the Sync3 system, but that Sirius Satellite Radio has a large variety of "streaming only" channels that are above 300. I would recommend streaming the channels above 300 that you want to listen to through the bluetooth audio system with your smart phone. A complete list of available channels can be found in this Link: www.siriusxm.com/channellineup?

- if you didn’t get voice activated navigation with your Titanium, then yes, you will have to plug your phone up to get the Nav icon to show up, also, it will help to have a Waze account already setup, and open when you plug your phone into your car.
