Just a note, maybe someone else with a NON-NAV unit can confirm, this didn't work for me as listed. The previous update USB3 didn't work either, I had to reformat with USB1 and insert the new update into USB2 which worked great. I assume the same will need to be done with this latest build.

Thanks again

Spent several hours today testing this new version and have no issues to report. I can't speak for Android and AA, but CarPlay and the Apple eco-system work great. I tested all visible functions with and without my iPhone 11 Pro Max attached and did not have any issues. I did not test Sat or USB based media. I did hear that media playback from USB still has challenges. My experience is that the interface is crisper and more responsive. Recommended for 3.4 users!

File size is just a little larger so I'm thinking nothing has changed :-(

Thanks. You're the first person on all the ford forums I've seen list this.

I see no forward facing user feature changes. Seems visually crisper and also more responsive. I rely on my iPhone for music and nav so I don't have feedback on this version's native apps at the Sync level.

After a decade of Ford ownership I expect every version of Sync have some flaws. Still, it would be great if Ford would realize demand exists for change logs. Feedback like yours helps everyone else.

Thank you.

I bow to your commitment to the community to be perfectly honest. Seriously!

Not only is there a new Apps version, there are new 1.19 maps and Nav Voice Data. Lots to mess around with this weekend. First up, will the maps install using the standard Autoinstall.lst. If not, I'll create a new reformat.lst with the new voice nav, maps and apps file after downgrading back to 19200 or something so the reformat tool works.

Can anyone confirm that the 20021 build 5U5T-14G381-EB_1581452369000 is for both NAV and NON NAV?

Thanks!

App files are for both Nav and Non Nav. Its the voice files that are different.
