@@canadiantruckguy363 Yup I am reading on many F150 forums and never saw that process described before or the menus within. There has to be some stuff we can change to our benefit in there somehow 🙂
We made them ourselves! With a cricket machine, some vinyl and some patience. Thanks for asking about them as I also noticed that there are a ton of American flags but little to no Canadian flags out there.
First I am seeing of this diagnostic menu! I wonder if this could help figure out why my OTA updates seem to have stalled... lots of discussion on the F150 forums about it.
I've heard from Ford that it's failed for most people as o also have the same issue. They're telling me the fix is coming in April. Who knows these days, fingers crossed that they'll figure it out soon.
@@canadiantruckguy363 sorry! you know you showed a place under the cup holder to insert the key incase its battery ran out? is there such a place for the bench seat trims? mine is xlt 302a with bench seat
Ah, thanks for clarifying. A very good question and what I understand is that the key can be held by the right side of the steering wheel column close to where you would push to start and that same feature where the truck recognizes the key is located there. Maybe you could test this idea for me and confirm if I'm correct?
My Apple car play is going blank on info screen It shows which song is playing from my phone but only on the right side of the screen I did reset you were showing here and still main screen when on Apple Pay is dark If you can help i would appreciate
Quick things to look at are always software versions. Do you know what version your Sync 4 is and also what version is your Apple CarPlay? So what I'm trying to make sure is that you have the latest and greatest of both. Sometimes it's the phone that is causing this issue.
@@canadiantruckguy363 appreciate your quick response 👍🏻👍🏻… I keep it on auto update Phone is also running on IOS16 something But I just came from garage and did reset the phone and the truck…and it works now Thanks again man
It typically closes down because of bad cellular phone area, I know that seems funny but the software depends on it a lot. 32k nice, I'm @ 28k and if I can ever get this back window to stop rattling I would be loving my truck more.
Pay for donors, I hear Ford is working with a drone company to use their technology to bring your truck back automatically to the dealer to get your recalls taken care of once a week
Just learned that my APIM will not update through the manual process and that didn't work either. Now there is a message stating that Ford knows about this issue and is looking to resolve it in April. Grr
Sorry to hear that. I'm assuming you've let your dealer know and they said unless they can reproduce it or there is a TSP for it then there is nothing they can do about it, correct?
Thanks for reaching out. I've only had the dash black out on me while on a call. I've never experienced what your stating. The fix for me was simple. Turned off the truck and then opened the drivers door, closed the drivers door and then start the vehicle up again. (Which I believe just resets the system) it hasn't happened to me since. Sorry to hear what happened to you as that would be pretty upsetting. I did see someone have an issue with a blackout screen and a chime constantly going off and it turned out to be the battery. I would have the dealership check this out for you.
@@canadiantruckguy363 Thank you . The problem has been resolved . I turned on the radio and immediately pressed the steering wheel and the console and it works now. But my car does not have Wi-Fi. So what is work then? I want to update the screen to SYNC 4A
There is a force for an automatic update theory out on UA-cam. I'll look for the video and try to send you the link if I can. Or just search Sync 4 force updates and see what you find. 😊
Great video solved my problem. Many Thanks
I'm glad I was able to help in some way.
Bet not many people knew about that! great video. So many buttons..
I'm trying to do my part to share what I can! 🙂

That's exactly why I started this channel in the 1st place. I would like to hopefully help others and learn as much as I can through others.
I'm curious where you got the black Cdn Flag for the box sides. Americans has tons of options but not seen much for us in Canada. Tks

@@canadiantruckguy363 Is this procedure the SAME AS A "FACTORY RESET" Through the Sync 4 System Display?????
Based on what I've seen it's another menu to test everything.
Thats an insane amount of switches
You have to be prepared for anything! 🙃
Many people including burglars know about the hidden key slot under the cup holder rubber. THINK VOLTAGE is a better place.
The key hole feature, is there one for bench seats?
Are you asking for a way to keep the under compartment open while the seat is up? I'm sorry I'm not quite understanding the question exactly.

Awesome. I'm glad that it worked itself out. Unfortunately, this software is not too stable and has a few too many glitches.
@@canadiantruckguy363 thank you
Yes I agree because every here and there something goes down but so far (32000 km) I have no major complaints

I have not heard this. Thanks for sharing.
Just push the camera button while towing and you camera comes up.
Totally, thinking about trying ForScan to try and add
My sync 4 just restarted by itself as I was driving

2023 f350 radio restarts constants. Resetting with the power and skip buttons solves nothing. 🤦🏽♂️

Nice hacks!
Dude got got to be clear and not drag it out, killing me….but thx
My overhead lights and console light went out after a software update. Do you happen to know a fix?

I already tried it on my Ford F150 and it didn't work 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
What did you try out of these suggestions that didn't work? I'm curious to see if they've changed something during the sync 4 updates they've done.

Yes, the Ford system says that the update is automatic, but my screen system does not have Wi-Fi for the automatic update 😅😅😅😅😅
