FAIL!!! Sync Gen2 V3.8

Try to reset the APIM. But I think you have to go to the next Ford dealer. He need to install the latest software with IDS. your APIM lost some codes from the as build. Do you use any interfaces like nav-tv or lockpicks?

??? how stupid is this?
It looks, that the APIM lost some asbuilt configs with update.

For a Ford dealer its very easy to install with IDS/PTS the latest sync version. With this installation all losted asbuilt codes comes to the factory setting.

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.

I wouldn't mind finding my way into the testing area and tackling that hill in the middle.



I called the 800 number this morning and had my name put on a list to be notified once the problem is rectified. Said they will probably just send out a link to the new update file. Or maybe it is a ruse and they really won't do a thing. Anyway, I will continue to pretend I am driving my Lincoln Raptor. I feel like a real Mathew McConaughey all in deep thought.
