    I tried doing the wifi update for couple of days before i tried update of sync 3 via usb drive. only trick for me was to use a USB 3.0 drive, not a USB 2.0 drive, formated as exFat. Update took about 15 minutes, but was successful. Not sure what the wifi problem was, but grateful the USB 3.0 (exFat) update worked.

    Thanks Rich, I’m on sync 3 version 3. Something and it’s operating with out any issues. The website says version 3.0.20204 is available for my vehicle. I’ve come to the conclusion that if it any broke, leave it alone. I doubt that there’s any new features.

    I think my APIM is shot…. One cold night leaving work, the screen wouldn’t come on. I tried to do a soft reset but nothing. Then when the cabin warmed up the screen came on. Then the next day it just quit, hasn’t came on in the last three days. Thought about running Forscan to see what info it’ll give me. It looks like it force shutdowns cause the blue illuminated USB also shut off. No power to them.

I have up on it and after about a month of checking back it finally finished. Real garbage tech in these $60k vehicles these days. But, i love the car anyway.

      Brother I understand it may not have failed you and the few you have done but I've done HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of these
      Once the APIM starts to act up and people force programming through its typically going to fail worse or act up worse once it does go through

    Both our vehicles, a 2019 Edge and 2020 F-250 apparently have APIM issues and have had them since they were new (both were custom orders). My wife's Edge goes halfway thru a USB upgrade and stops. Both vehicles have audio that stutters and stops when reading text or looking for POI and can take up to 30 seconds to respond or change radio channel. The one in my truck says "no PIO found" out of nowhere and I'm having an issue trying to switch the rear camera to the ball view. Tech says they both have APIMs going bad, but FDRS test will not fail them or give replacement code. They are both still under bumper-to-bumper warranty so replacement would be free. The dealer is trying to get warranty approved and customer service has told me to talk to customer warranty and get them to clear warranty replacement. I really don't want to keep having tech running tests until they finally do a FDRS failure, but the service manager said bring them in every week or two until we get FDRS to fail them.
    In talking with techs, they miss OASIS since they would show failures when issues like we have show up.
    Keep up the information and thank you.

    I have a 2016 Escape, and just aquired a 2017 both are titanium. The 2016 has ver 3.0 and the 2017 has ver 2.2 . I can't get either to update. I've tried via wifi (yes my wifi is fine and strong) and using a usb. Neither completes. Using the wifi method the system just sits and says it's scanning for updates until it finally goes dark. When following the ford instructions for usb, (start the engine, insert the usb drive (loaded with the update) and wait. There is absolutely no indication that anything is happening. No start message, not finish message, and no update. I realize the versions require different formating of the usb, so that shouldn't be an issue. I have no idea what's going on because there's no indicators. Really frustrating ford!

    I have a 2018 ford ecosport that it’s now out of warranty. The screen/radio won’t turn on. The screen stay black. I’m sure there’s power because when I turn on the headlights at night, the buttons on the radio are on. The problem started this way. When I would start the car, the screen would come on right away. After driving it for maybe 15-20 minutes, I would park and then turn it off. Then I would turn on the car again and the screen won’t come on at all. I would have to start and shut off the car until it would come on again. Now it’s been a year and it’s won’t turn on anymore. I unplugged the battery, that didn’t fix the issue. I pulled out the fuse, that’s didn’t fix the issue, I removed the entire unit to see if I find anything lose, everything seem fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?
