    Issues after SYNC upgrade

    Follow up to the missing Sirius radio channel labels (icons). The update to SYNC was on Monday, Mar 4th. All week the radio station labels remained the same- SIRIUSXM on every channel. Yesterday, after 5 days, they magically reappeared. Very delayed reaction, but they are back. Did it take 5...

    Issues after SYNC upgrade

    Upgraded to SYNC 3.4.23188 yesterday. I was having to reset everything when starting up with the previous version. This version has introduced some new issues. One is that the light in the change tray (front center console) now stays on for 10 minutes...It stays on glowing blue with the rest of...

    Backup warning sound has changed?

    (2019 Raptor). My backup warning sound has changed. Normally the sound comes thru the speakers, and is quite loud. Now two things have changed. When I start up, I get 4 warning beeps, and then when I backup near an object my sound comes thru a little speaker by the steering wheel. I uploaded a...

    Trailer Wiring Fault- message

    Figured it out. It was a wiring fault-mine. I had the wires rotated one series too many. There is an actual label on those connections and a correct way to wire up, and my initial job was incorrect. Odd though the trailer lights still worked perfectly even though I had them wrong. Brake and turn...

    Trailer Wiring Fault- message

    I replaced the 7-pin connector to my trailer yesterday, and after plugging it in got a new message- Trailer Wiring Fault... The trailer lighting works perfectly, brakes, turn signals. Trailer braking seems fine. The plug is new and fits snugly. If I hit OK it goes away. When I restart it pops...

    Short antenna

    Ronin- Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071PCQQNL/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 Works perfectly. Listen to AM talk radio, FM in town (Houston). Never an issue. Well made. Locktite will keep it from being stolen. Comes w/ pre-coated threads.

    2019 Raptor Map out of date?

    Purchased new in January- the NAV MAP is missing streets that I know are 1-2 years old. How can you determine the age of the map in the latest RAPTOR, and.....how can it be updated? I have the latest SYNC3 3.0 update installed, but for some reason the MAP seems to be at least a couple of years old.

    GEN 2 Rear Park Aid Volume adjustment?

    (2019) Is there a way to tone down the volume level of the rear park aid beeper? That dang this is LOUD. If I am trying to back into a tighter space, such that it takes a minute, it gets very annoying, especially if there are folks in the back seat. They have all complained it's too loud. Yes I...

    Auto Start Disabling option?

    BFR- You are correct- that was my first question back when, what exactly does that wire control, besides the auto start? I know for sure it controls auto start, since that is now disabled. Did I disconnect another sequence or function elsewhere? Don't know yet. As far as asking my dealer, right...

    Locker Down Console Safe

    Locker Down-- follow up. This thread is a few months old, wanted to add to it. I ordered a LOCKER DOWN model LD 2045EX with the e-lock for a 2019. Install was fast, maybe 15 minutes. The install video they have is all you need. Very straight forward. It fits perfectly. The e-lock is a very nice...

    SLIPPERY mode versus 4A?

    What is the difference between the SLIPPERY mode setting on the steering wheel and just manually rolling over to 4-Automatic? The reason I ask is that when I clicked over to SLIPPERY using the steering wheel mode button, 4A is engaged, the alignment wanted to pull the truck to the left. I was...

    2018 Shelby raptor is it worth it?

    Unfortunately his mechanics won't be able to help. He is a part owner in a race team, and he had his team mechanics build a number of special parts (in the UK) which were shipped back here. ExtremeKaty did the installs.

    2018 Shelby raptor is it worth it?

    OK- didn't know that one. Since I had an (actual) Avalanche I wasn't even thinking Raptor color. In any event, there are so many great aftermarket shops around ( here in Houston there are at least 3 I can think of) that can boost HP in a Raptor it may be worth looking there first rather than the...

    2018 Shelby raptor is it worth it?

    $52K for a 2017 Avalanche? Hmmm. The last year Chevy made an Avalanche was 2013. If you meant a 2013 Avalanche, I am impressed you would be getting $52K for it, since that is more than it cost then. I traded in my 2011 Avalanche on a 2019 Raptor and got a whopping $16K. And mine was in excellent...

    GEN 2 How to get rid of "Network Connection Needed" prompt?

    Perfect- thanks. Missed that link. It was painless. Once the unzipped files were on the USB, I just took off running errands and plugged it into the USB port. The auto-run file took over, and I had a message at the top of my screen saying UPDATING SOFTWARE, and it was done in about 15 min. The...

    GEN 2 How to get rid of "Network Connection Needed" prompt?

    Question on uploading the update via USB... I went to the FORD owner site, and successfully downloaded the update (zip file), and extracted that to a USB.. Now what? Their site just says 'INSTALL FILES TO SYNC'.. Does that mean I just plug the USB into the port and it does it automatically, or...

    GEN 2 Sirius Travel Link- Weather Map Quality

    I am amazed at the lack of quality of the weather radar map. MineCraft has better rendering and density. Given the technology available today, with HD screens and push towards more dots per inch, why the hell did Ford low bid the radar screens in Travel Link? Each pixel is about 10 square miles...

    Sirius Satellite UPDATE- disables NAV with Satellite?

    Yesterday I started off to a new destination, needed my MAP. As I was driving, the following message appeared on my satellite radio- ACQUIRING SIGNAL- and it just stayed that way. I had no satellite radio. The AM/FM bands were there (different antenna). Also, when I chose my MAP, it came up with...

    All 2019s at 5k off MSRP

    Yea- I live in Houston and I saw that full page add too. So, let's take it a step further. I went to DOGGETT FORD website. Ok. Let's see what they have and the price. I am looking at their website right now, Wed, March 13th. They show 2 Raptors. Just 2. A white one and a black one. The price...

    OK- But why would it want a WIFI connection to update when it IS a WIFI connection? I am paying $20/month for the bloody ATT assigned phone number HOTSPOT, right. That's what my phone uses to connect to WIFI. If it's able to provide a HOTSPOT for other WIFI connections, why the hell can't it...

    Auto Start Disabling option?

    Sorry for stirring up a worn topic-- yes I had used search and saw a plethora of ways to defeat the button. I did not want to pull apart my dash, pop buttons or short wires just yet. The question was more about the odd wire plugged into the negative terminal. I still have no idea what it does...

    Auto Start Disabling option?

    Greetings- new to forum. Just bought a '19 Raptor. Regarding the Auto-Start-Stop button, an office buddy said that disconnecting the 'wire' that plugs into the negative terminal on the battery will kill that option. Now, given this is all new to me, I am not about to start unplugging...
