Edit the middle section of your autoinstall.lst file to look like the following:

;;;
;;; The following are the 3.08.15128 image files
;;;
[SYNCGen2_3.08.15128]
Item1 = EA5T-14D546-AFB
Open1 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14D546-AFB.cab
Item2 = EA5T-14F496-MA
Open2 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14F496-MA.zip
Item3 = EA5T-14F657-AD
Open3 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14F657-AD.zip
Item4 = EA5T-14F497-AD
Open4 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14F497-AD.zip
Item5 = EA5T-14D546-BC
Open5 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14D546-BC.zip
Item6 = EA5T-14D546-DE
Open6 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14D546-DE.zip
Item7 = EA5T-14D546-AJB
Open7 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14D546-AJB.cab
Item8 = EA5T-14F496-VC
Open8 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14F496-VC.zip
Item9 = EA5T-14D546-AGB
Open9 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14D546-AGB.cab
Item10 = BT4T-14D546-EE
Open10 = SyncMyRide\BT4T-14D546-EE.cab
Item11 = EA5T-14D546-LB
Open11 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14D546-LB.cab
Options = AutoInstall

The line:

Item2 = EA5T-14F496-MA
Open2 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14F496-MA.zip

is the reference to the zip file that contains the Raptor Specific splash screens. If you look at the original autoinstall.lst file you will see references to several other. Use the file names that you removed from the autoinstall.lst file as a reference to the zip files that you need to remove from the SyncMyRide Directory. Save your file, load into your vehicle and you are good to go.

Do any files in the syncmyride folder other than the .zip need deleted?

For anyone who went through with the 3.8 update and has the Lincoln splash screen and wants to revert back to their Raptor splash screen. Using the following method I was able to reinstall my Raptor graphics.

Do this at your own risk... I am not responsible for any issues you may encounter...

Copy the following files/Folder to your USB drive (or if you still have all your files on your USB drive simply delete the extra files in the SyncMyRide folder and just edit the autoinstall.lst):
autoinstall.lst
DONTINDEX.MSA
SyncMyRide

In the SyncMyRide folder the only file you will need is the EA5T-14F496-MA.zip file which contains the Raptor specific splash screen files.

Once the files are copied edit the autoinstall.lst file. It should look like the following:

;;;
;;; The following tags are software versions supported by this update
;;;

[SYNCGen2_3.08.15128]
Item1 = EA5T-14F496-MA.zip
Open1 = \SyncMyRide\EA5T-14F496-MA.zip
Options = AutoInstall

That should be it, pop the USB in and away you go. Update takes seconds to complete since only the splash screen files are being copied over.

I added screenshots below. 'Untitled' is the ROOT of my USB drive. Ignore the shaded files as those are system files that I have unhidden on my machine.


This worked perfectly on my 2013 Raptor

So, i just downloaded the update and I'm debating on installing it since I don't want to deal with the crap. Anyone done it recently and still had issues?

I lost the startup screen. The fix that was posted worked perfectly. Some of the stuff you guys come up with astounds me.

I'm not sure if Ford fixed this issue, but I just uploaded the 3.8 update and retained the Raptor splash screen. I had also downloaded the patch from Dropbox and was prepared to upload that after installation of the 3.8 update, but it was unnecessary. I had to try several times to pair my iPhone, but it eventually worked.

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread!

Got the presidential screen and GPS is off more frequently. Dropped it off at the dealer. They said unless theirs a broken pin it could be at least $100-$200 for a deductible.
