Ford Sync 4?

[TDavis]

Think we'll be able to upgrade to Sync 4?

Not a chance. It runs entirely new hardware with different screen sizes than we have. The global model 2018+ style fiesta may get it in other countries though.

No way that'd happen! I'm just happy with the swap to Sync 3 from Sync 2

Starting a new job this week doing software development on Sync 4 so if I am able, I'll report back with info on compatibility with current hardware.

So after a couple days on the job Sync 4 won't work on the fiesta, the software is drastically different and the test benches we use are very different from sync 3 benches. Also sync is very platform dependent it's not like a normal desktop program or web page where it can adapt to different display sizes, each display that Ford uses is programmed with a specific version of sync for not only the screen size but also the ac controls, steering wheel controls ect. If I am wrong I'll update this post but from what I know now it doesn't look likely that sync 4 will work with our hardware.

Right now I will actually be working on the final version of Sync 3 before switching to Sync 4 so I may eventually be the guy on here to talk to for Sync 3 issues or questions.

Have you guys seen the "refresh" or Sync 3? I guess it's a refresh or face lift? I've noticed it in several 2020 Ford Products.... Is there anyway to do a flash update to make our Sync 3 have the refreshed layout like this 2020 Mustang has in it? Go to 2:37 on the video to fully see it.

You might be able to configure that with Forscan, but it might be a specific theme for the mustang that may not be documented yet. Here is a little documentation on the other themes you can set with Forscan. https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6676

You can check if the theme exists with test settings on the radio.

Hold Eject and Seek Next. In test settings there is a theme dropdown, but it only sticks until next reboot
