How did you unzip the file?

I have WinZip on my desktop.

After downloading and saving it to my desktop....Then click the zipped files and my computer ask what I want to use to open.
I choose WinZip....Others my already be on your computer
The zipped files will open in a new file to your desk top.
You now have two sets of files
The zipped (has a little zipper on it)
And the unzipped.
Drag the unzipped to your formatted USB

Ok guys. Success.

Raptor splash screen still works. Much nicer interface. More modern appearance. Screen much more responsive. No loss of features at first glance.

How did it go? I recently updated my 2019 to 3.3 and it is blazing fast. The 3.4 is not an official release so I hope it goes well for you.

Following the procedure above. Fingers crossed!

Update worked fine. 10 mins max. No issues.

1). Unzip .rar file to desktop. It will generate a folder called USB3.

2). There are 3 files inside the folder. Drag those to your USB stick.

3). My 2019 recognized the stick almost instantly.

4). Update took 10 mins once plugged in.

I had Sync version 3.3. If you have version 3.2 or 3.3 follow this link and download the USB3.rar file only. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MLcy5hENz2G9qe-EHJcYGbbG3IoNR5j3

1. Unzip the file and move the contents of the folder to a USB thumb drive.
2. Take USB thumb drive to Raptor.
3. Open Raptor.
4. Start Raptor.
5. Place thumb drive in the USB slot in the cubby under radio. Give it a minute and you will see a message in top right of screen that says "updating system software". Give it time, it will prompt you when you can remove the usb thumb drive. Took me roughly 25 minutes to update. It will reboot but dont remove the thumb drive until the message says to do so. You will get a message that the update is complete. Turn off truck & restart. Good to go!
6. Go to Starbucks.
7. Enjoy

Excellent write up. Hell I may get Starbucks before starting and just sip and watch the upgrade take place

I really wanted to see if this would someday soon be able to happen OTA when Ford officially releases it for us. But it may be months before it’s released. So I’m probably going to need to do this manually as well.
