CyanLabs Syn3Updater successfully prepared two USB drives for a Ford SYNC 3 system update. The logs detail the process of updating from version 3.4.22200 to the Latest Version Of Sync 3 (3.4.23188) and removing Gracenotes. Both updates utilized the auto-detect installation mode for a North American (NA) region, non-navigation system.
SYNC 3 Update Process: A Deep Dive
The logs reveal a comprehensive update process, highlighting key steps taken by Syn3Updater:
Pre-Update Configuration and Destination Details
Both updates started with the same initial configuration:
- Current SYNC Version: 3.4.22200
- Region: North America (NA)
- Navigation: False (Non-navigation system)
- Installation Mode: Auto-Detect (autoinstall)
The destination details outline the USB drive specifications:
- Update 1: 119.1GB iXpand Flash Drive, exFAT, MBR partition
- Update 2: 28.9GB PNY USB 2.0 Drive, exFAT, MBR partition
Updating to SYNC 3.4.23188
The first log documents the update to SYNC 3.4.23188. Syn3Updater performed the following actions:
- Formatted the USB Drive: Re-created the partition table as MBR and formatted it as exFAT. This ensures compatibility with the SYNC 3 system.
- File Validation and Skipped Downloads: The necessary files (PU5T-14G386-BB_1690840002000.TAR.GZ and NU5T-14G381-AD_1689364279000.TAR.GZ) were already present on the USB drive and validated, skipping the download process. This significantly reduces update time.
- File Copying and Validation: The validated files were copied to the USB drive and validated again after the transfer to ensure data integrity.
- Autoinstall.lst Generation: This crucial file guides the SYNC 3 system during the update process. Its creation signifies the successful preparation of the USB drive.
Gracenotes Removal
The second log details the removal of Gracenotes using the file GB5T-14G386-SC_85041.tar.gz. The process mirrored the SYNC 3 update, with the key difference being the download of the necessary file. Since this file was not present on the second USB drive, Syn3Updater downloaded, validated, copied, and validated it before generating the Autoinstall.lst file.
Successful SYNC 3 Update Preparation
Both logs confirm the successful preparation of the USB drives for the respective updates. The message “ALL FILES DOWNLOADED AND COPIED TO THE USB DRIVE SUCCESSFULLY!” indicates that the SYNC 3 system should recognize and install the updates without issues. These logs provide a clear picture of the efficiency and thoroughness of the CyanLabs Syn3Updater in preparing for a seamless SYNC 3 upgrade to the latest version.
