New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251
- Thread starter Dale5403
- Start date
Yeah nothing is there. I originally did this update back in Feb. I had an xml file from then but never did anything with it. In fact I still had the usb drive from that install with all the files on it. I took the xml file and uploaded it to fords website. But nothing changes.
So that's when I tried to do the whole process over again. But even though it seems like it is installing, I am not so sure it is. Perhaps because it's the same exact update and the system sees that.

New here, with the same sync problems on my ST. Read in a previous post that Ford had dropped a new version -23188. Went out to the Explorer, connected it to my Wi-Fi and checked for updates. Said I was up to date with ver 22251. Checked for app updates and suddenly it was downloading
an update NU5T-14G381-AD_1689364279000.TAR.GZ.
Took about 40 minutes, the screen refreshed, and everything looked like it used to. Full nav map showing, not half. Put the radio onto a Sirius channel, shut it off, locked it and went in the house. Came back an hour later, everything still works and the radio stayed on the same Sirius channel.
Looks like Ford's update works.

Mine has been doing something similar. I have auto-updates turned on. It's been a couple of weeks now but 23188 was installed with no issue. My Maps are still on 2.21 or were last time I looked but I had read that there wasn't a lot of difference between the two. The new version has better voice recognition.
Ever since the 23188 update, I see these types of files still downloading and they are MAP files. The files complete a download and move on to another something similar file. I already used my one free MAP update going to 2.21 and was not going to pay to update this go-round as it didn't seem to have a lot of benefits. I haven't looked for a few days and I don't think my MAPS has updated but these files were downloading.
My online Dashboard does not show that 23188 has been installed. It still shows me on 22158.
EDIT: I just looked at the Dashboard again and it now shows 23188, it didn't show the update though the car did for perhaps 2 weeks.

I thought I had used up my 1 time free Map Update. I didn't think it would do it either but it did.
What prompted me to check again today is that the screen was locked on the Home screen. I went to the gas station and none of the buttons on the screen worked. It just showed the Maps which was working correctly, that it was connected to my phone and it showed the current music that was playing.
I couldn't move off of the Home screen, fast forward the music file (USB), or use any of the bottom buttons on the screen. I pulled it back in the garage and came in the house to read and make sure I was going to be doing a soft reset correctly. I went back out to do a soft reset (didn't need to) and all was working fine. So I looked at the current version and it shows both the System and Map files to be up to date.
