Think you have to turn off the automatic search for updates.

I’m on 18026 and had my first sync update failure today. LST_ERR05

I was able to identify and correct the issue. The SyncMyRide folder was not being created when I unzipped. It turns out Ford has seen and addressed the issue before; it’s caused by using the native Mac archive app to extract the .zip file. It doesn’t preserver the folder structure correctly.

Ford recommends an app called “Stuffit Expander”, which does properly extract the files and folder structure for copy to the usb drive.

In case anyone trips over this in the future.

It's funny because I've tried multiple times to do the upgrade on my 17 and it's never actually done anything other than saying that it's searching for updates so I went out today to try again and it's says Sync 3 version 3.0. I was like hmmm I guess when I gave up and walked away last wk it actually did find and download the upgrade.

18093 loaded

No changes that I can see

I’ve had 18093 loaded and have also recently upgraded to IOS12. I’ve been hesitant to report this but I’ll tempt fate

Normally, before both of these updates, about half the time I get into the truck I have to head to phone/text messages/retry because the bluetooth would connect but not for text messages. Hit retry and it was fine. If I didn’t do this, text is only sent to my phone and I miss some local news traffic updates.

Now, after the updates I’ve been almost a week and I’ve not had to redo the text messages once. hmm...
I’ve had one new oddity. I left the truck to go into a store and the wife stayed with Lucille listening to tunes on the radio; only radio on. When I started the phone wasn’t paired and didn’t pair for the entire ride home. have not seen this since.

I’m tentatively encouraged that the bluetooth connection with the iPhone has been improved somehow.
