User Au{R}oN89 pretty much confirmed we should be able to install a Sync 4 APIM in our Fords.
You mean the file that is not even accessible?
"File is in owners bin"

also i don't get this hostality, we are both providing guides on installing Sync 3.4

I hope so. If I could get a "factory" Wireless CarPlay in a 2015 vehicle, I would be so incredibly happy.

He did say this but it's not really relevant information to update my guide with. he said "99% chance that APIM can be retrofitted on old vehicles BTW, some asbuilt parameters are the same, and old cars still appear as configurable"
That means install a Sync 4 APIM on a Sync 3 car not install Sync 4 software on a Sync 3 APIM so therefore not as wide spread as the current sync 3 to sync 3.4 upgrade

Apologies, but as an outside observer/reader, I don't see any hostility. I see matter-of-fact discussion and recommendations for improvement.

So I successfully updated my transplanted sync 3 in my 15 F150 to 3.4.2 using the tool from Cyanlabs. Now Im getting a bit jumbled in terminology. on my sync 2 I was on Map A10 (Trying to find A11 for my brother now as an aside) When I first updated to Sync 3 3.0 I think the map was 2017(?) So I was looking for the path to current maps that way which led me to Sync 3 3.4 update. Now this indicated map "F9" and displays Map 1.19 on the screen which leads me to think that this is perhaps 2019 maps and there is a F10(?) / 1.20 update, somewhere? Or have I just got lost in the rough with the versions/codes and processes?

Thanks

F9 are the EU maps and since the guy that runs CYAN is in the UK that’s what a lot of that is written towards

1.19 are the latest maps for North America.
