Sync3 hidden menu and skin theme change

How to enter hidden menu in Ford #Sync3 infotainment system. This test mode will give you access to diagnostic data about your system, will perform speakers test going though all audio channels one by one. You can check here how's the GPS signal reception. And you can change skin of the system by selecting one of the available themes for #Ford and Lincoln cars.
Make sure that the sound is not muted and audio volume is set at least to 1, then press and hold button NEXT on the steering wheel, and NEXT under the infotainment display. After few seconds speakers test will begin, which you can end at any time to enter #hiddenMenu.
When you enable test mode, you will see new option in settings menu that will take you directly to this mode, without the need to perform speakers test each time you want to enter it.

Something that makes me sad is that the feature where u can change the theme is only temporary, so like if u restart the car, it reverts back to default

[@pranavvaidya3590]

yea

[@ThePhrozenOne]

Lol Mines stuck on Raptor... I got a ford Ranger

[@POCOCIMOJNIK]

Polak potrafi :) gratulacje!!! Też mam sync 3 Mondeo 2017, pozdr z Danii

[@pantainn]

Does not work, radio keeps skipping radio stations

[@SandStormPower]

Exactly like on mine

[@BastProduction]

It doesn't work for me (fiesta 2020)...

[@nichoambriz699]

You need to go to the radio like where you change stations I was having the same issue

[@motorheadbanger7720]

That's great... However I want to keep the theme changed permanently. Is that possible? Could you please explain how to do so? Thanks a lot

[@route59performance34]

Forscan

[@dirtremovesblindness]

@@route59performance34 Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by "Forscan"? I was able to change my theme...but every time I restart my truck it goes back to the default.

[@dirtremovesblindness]

Did you ever figure it out? This new 3.4 skin on my truck is awful...switched it to the black label and it rocked...then I restarted my truck and it went back to the old one.

[@MauriceNL1]

@@dirtremovesblindness learn to google something. Google forscan

[@jelomi036]

you have to use forscan for it, than you can change it permanently

[@ES-hz7rh]

What does it help when you speak English but display Polish text?

[@latashabrown3103]

So I tried it and it blacked out my screen. Any help on how to get it back to normal?

[@wontsteal]

I tried all the themes and found that the Lincoln themes won't let you change your ambient lighting but the ford themes will (I have a 2017 Ford Explorer). The shutdown animations are cool. I love the raptor, mustang and Shelby versions but they don't change much or anything but the animations, from what I can tell. Anybody know what the other button, next to the testing button does?

[@Panagiotis_17]

on my focus when you turn the car off and on again it's not saved

[@thomasmathew1080]

I'm able to change But it's not getting save... every time i start the car it goes back to the default theme....pls advise how to change the theme permanently

Hej. Możesz mi pomóc? Dlaczego sync3 nie widzi żadnych aplikacji z telefonu? Po podłączeniu kablem po chwili wyskakuje komunikat że nie znaleziono aplikacji, a na telefonie mam komunikat w powiadomieniu android auto że łączy z radiem.....

f150?

[@NicoStrat]

Same thing on my 2020 Puma

[@noahrowe9908]

Thank you

[@anlaksar3226]

Mr-fix. I have a problem if you know the solution, I will be very glad. Because service does not know what this is. Approximately once in a month my Ford Turneo Custom model 2019 changing its warning tones itself from normal Ford ding dong tone to another tone which is like 80's old game watch tones. Then after a night it's turning to normal tone when I start the car in the morning?

[@kellymc239]

If you are meaning that the 'sound' of the warning, entry/exit, shutoff, starting tones are low/high, then they sound high/high, then the problem is a weak battery. I had this problem in my 2017 Explorer that the tones would sound very weak, or high-pitch one day after a short drive. Then, the tones would sound normal if I drove for more than an hour. It means the battery voltage is weak, and the software that controls the sounds is receiving low voltage. Sometimes, a message might display 'Battery Saver Mode has been enabled'. If you see this message and hear high-pitch tones, then replace the battery under the hood. That fixed my same problem.

[@jordon2778]

Well it worked but now stuck on shelby 350 for shutdown screen anyone else

[@legerstee1]

Hi sir Please note you show your VIN number, this can be a risk as other might try to put it into there "ford Pass" application..........just a caution ;-) thanks for the vid!

[@M0DFATH3R]

yeah ford pass tells location and unlocks the doors, very risky

[@joeingles5854]

@@M0DFATH3R vins are visible from looking at the windshield. Not a security risk

[@colm112]

You need permission from inside the vehicle to be able to lock/unlock

[@kellymc239]

The FordPass app requires more than the VIN of the vehicle; it also requires linking the phone, and other information to the smart device, before it will unlock the doors, start the engine, etc. I had to wait about 24 hours before my phone was synced to my new Ford vehicle.

[@peri8728]

Hi. I did exactly every step but when I turn the car off the next time I turn it on the themes return to the original. How can it save the changes;

[@mrfixpl]

I believe that you would have to recode the system to new defaults settings.

[@TheAWSOMEWORLD]

Just need to find someone with forscan, its a program and a tool to make the change permanent. It will also allow you to do other neat things to your ford..

[@Densig93]

would it work with sync 3.4 anymore?

[@martialartsunlimited01]

Cool video, I'm going to try this tonight.

[@mrfixpl]

Good luck!

[@M0DFATH3R]

did it work?

[@jensen89dk]

It’s only preview, you need coding if you want it to stay

Fajny filmik,zaraz będę testował 😉 wiesz może czy jest możliwość zmiany skórki radia?

[@meisteryilmaz2905]

These are only testing settings not change settings. After stopping the car. The original settings come back.

[@Pazzy805]

how bout this question , so old sync broke , got a used one from a ford everest (same shit just 700$ less ) . works fine but i need mustang premium settings . not everest settings .

[@kellymc239]

You will need to have the unit flashed at a Ford dealer, or have access to a ForScan tool, to reflash that Sync unit. It has to link with the BCM, and the ECM in order to work properly.

[@nenadmilanaminic]

Thank You.

[@hookgaming.]

i guess master reset ??

[@kellymc239]

Use the function "System Reset" to return the Sync3 to its' original settings and style. This setting is in the Sync3 Settings Menu.

[@miawallace2785]

Can the auto lock be switched on via the hidden menu ??

[@Mania28]

So annoying that there is no auto lock

[@wontsteal]

Not sure what you mean. Auto-locking the doors?

[@mattgarrad597]

No but it can be with forscan

[@kellymc239]

Autolock is enabled or disabled via the Settings Menu in the dash screen of 2017+ Explorer and 2015+ F150/250/350+. Autolock is referring to the power door locks on the vehicle. It means the locks will either automatically lock or remain unlocked after 3-12mph (depending on the vehicle).
