My 2018 Sync 3 v2.3, and Nav v2015

[Tom899]

I have a 2018 Titanium built in the fall of 2017 and delivered in March 2018. It came with Sync 3 v.2.3. And an older Nav. Map version from 2015.

I noticed online there was an updated Map version of 2018. It let me download it. I put it on a USB with all the proper files. When I stuck it in it said I could not update the map until Sync was updated to Sync 3 v3.0.

I thought, no problem I'll do that too. Well, the web site said v3.0 was not available for my vehicle. I called Ford and they confirmed the same thing. They even said they were not sure if it would ever be available! So, nice, stuck with old 2015 maps!

I decided to check around the internet and found a download from Sync 3 v2.3 to v3.0. I performed the update and then proceeded to upgrade my maps to 2018.

All is working well except for one thing. Say for instance I'm listening to Sirius radio. I shut the vehicle off. Next time I get in and start the vehicle I'm on an AM station. Kind of weird. Maybe I should disconnect the battery and let it reset? This is minor to me though as everything else works as it should.

Your issue with Sirius radio is not uncommon, mine does it too. Always defaults back to the radio. It happens on USB sometimes also. The workaround I have found is if you are on Sirius or USB, shut the audio system off before turning off the key. When returning, start the car and then turn on the audio and it will stay on Sirius radio. I'm not sure why it does this.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I also noticed if I shut the radio off before shutting the vehicle off it works as you say.

Well, I guess I'm not alone, a bug in the system, but minor.

Thanks
