ok, I'll try another drive. I tried both a Mac and PC.

Thanks for all your responses and help!

I had the same problem. If I remember correctly I had to use a usb2 drive. It wouldn’t see my usb3 drive.

don't trust the dealer and I don't want them to override my tune, or mess up anything else up.
You do realize that the APMI for the RADIO has nothing to do with the engine management system right? I mean, talk about paranoid.

As for messing anything else, anytime you upgrade software, there is the chance you might lose settings. That's the nature of software.e

I did that Russian hack with my 19. I did notice it doesnt see any OTA updates. keeps saying build 19...is Current and I know that's the case. Going to have the dealer redo it since it's now supported on 19's.

I didn't see it posted, so here's the link. I followed this and it worked perfectly, sans a bad brand new USB 3.0 stick from Kingston. Once I used a different flash drive it worked flawlessly. My truck had 3.0 and I went directly to 3.4

Thanks for this post.

I downloaded that third party tool and went from 3.0.19205 to latest, greatest 3.4.21098 with zero hassle! Once complete, did a Master Reset, set up my preferences and I am good to go.

I did lose Sirius, but I wasn't paying for it anyway. I also need to re-set up FordPass as Master Reset wiped that access.

What ever they have done in this most recent update of 3.4, it works so well

I feel like this is what it should have been all along. It looks clean and it is lightening quick now

My sync is trying to install an update and has been stuck half way for about 2 weeks and is making the whole UI laggy as hell. Any idea how to cancel the update and restart it? Says installing 4U5T-14G422-CAH_1615428946000.TAR.GZ
