Sync 3 Custom Background Wallpaper!

[@OhLookARock]

Your presentation style is impeccable, I particularly like that the amount of details vs your speech intonation and speed makes for a great learning experience!

[@CrossFoxRacing]

Thank god. So much time trying to search for a video of an actual background change, and you actually provided helpful information. Thank you.

[@NaviUpgrade]

Thanks! Turns out they made an entirely new way of doing it the night before I put this video live 😂 subscribe and I'll show ya how to do it the new way next week 😅

[@mohammedabualhaija1986]

​@@NaviUpgrade I have tried doing the same as in first step but once plugging in the usb it will not do any thing with Sync 3, and not uploading the mod, any thoughts?? My Sync 3 is latest 23088

[@dmmness]

Can you do an update video? They have changed the look and a few other things on the website since this video. Its really not easy to follow along...

[@tadeuszsliwinski3002]

Great tutorial! Can you explain how to add next wallpapers to Sync3? I have some in my device, but I want to add some new. Possible?

[@Ammorayoub]

Do I have to jailbreak and hack the sync 3 to put the background or I can just go ahead and do what you did in this video and it will work

[@jacquiandra1803]

Once you Hack / Jailbreak your Sync 3 can you do further upgrades for the Sync 3 Software?

[@race-ist5point0]

Any mods for the small GT 350 and base GT SYNC 3 screens?

[@bungiskungis343]

Hey there. I just purchased a 2010 Lincoln MKZ with the THX audio system (Sync 1). Before I start this undertaking I was wondering if you were aware if it's possible

[@Ammorayoub]

Can you share the link to mods I can’t find it on the website

[@bruinschris4041]

Brian, any chance of a video coming out on how to Update APIM calibration to MY18.5? I hope so because you have the best step by step videos.

[@GoranCrnogaj]

hi.. is there any easier way to make you’re own background?

[@timothyjewell3712]

Are there a firmware upgrade or an equipment upgrade with the Sony head unit? Thanks

[@NaviUpgrade]

Nope. Had one up and KZbin took it down and struck my channel for "Dangerous Content" 🙃

[@m1lkm8n78]

Time to redo the video LOL. He just released a new update that allows adding and deleting backgrounds on the fly! No more rebooting to install or remove backgrounds

I knowwww. I was gonna redo it last night but got lazy. I'll get to it again sometime this week and release an updated video

This is cool. I'm definitely getting closer in my search. With these mods for Ford Sync. Is there a mod out there that allows me to change the startup animation to a custom one?

[@o0oStillWeRiseo0o]

Forscan tool. You only choose other ford startups

[@northline8827]

Can I run this mod by itself or do I need to do something prior to these steps? I tried what you stated in the video and it never loads the mod.

[@garycummins8082]

you have to jailbreak first , search sync 3 jailbreak and you'll see Naviupgade video explaining it !

[@dellstudio1737]

Hi everyone, I have a problem with sync since I switched from sync 2 to sync 3 I have a problem with speed limits and road signs, does anyone know how to solve the problem? road signs only read those that I physically encounter on the road but, for example, on the motorway they disappear together with the speed limit.

[@SebastianC1996]

Can you change the boot up wallpaper when you first initial turn on the head unit ?

[@99Z286SPD]

You can, you need Forscan to do it tho.

The Custom Background doesn't work on 3.4 sync place answer I need it to work

[@CRAZEDX100]

This works with 3.4 just fine

[@joekrupnik1710]

Thanks very much for the video's all is working quite well. I added a number of mods, including top and bottom translucent bars to get better visibility on my uploaded background. I was trying to teak the lettering and installed fmods "dark grey theme" and now can barely see the lettering, both day and night settings. Is there a way to "unload" the theme so I can troubleshoot lettering visibility? Or do I have to remove all my mods and start from scratch? Thanks in advance.

[@joekrupnik1710]

Question I got sync3 version 2.0 a new update just came out a few months ago can this work with version 2.0 or do I need to update sync before I jailbreak ?

[@helpmefindavalidname]

Which version of SYNC 3 is that? I am curious cause I don't see the climate tab in my version (3.4).

[@NaviUpgrade]

If your car has auto climate you can enable the climate tab via FORScan

[@davevv1]

Will this Work on the new update?

[@TheMateo124]

Unrelated but any info on if this is possible with Sync 4 in a Bronco? Can’t seem to find anything on it. Probably too new still.

[@NaviUpgrade]

Should be possible but Sync 4 is still very difficult to acquire since most allocation is going towards production vehicles, not parts shelves 👍 I've heard months wait times even at Ford dealerships for Sync 4 modules that have hit the hay

[@darmysdelrosario6066]

@NaviUpgrade hi i just upgrade my ford explorer st 2020 with a 10.1 screen but i only get the half of the screen can you help with that thanks

So weird you have to jailbreak it for it to work when MFT allows you to upload pics with the SD card and save it as the wallpaper. So lame they didn’t just continue it that way. It’s not that complicated since Sync 3 is more like a computer than MFT was.
