I did the v3.10 update to my 2015 fist succesfully, but i’m not able to complete step 4 (notify ford that i did the update). When i select the xml file, it shows the “fakepath” and will not upload.

Did you notice any significant changes or enhancements in 3.10 vs your previous version?

Ok, I couldn't wait.
I did the v3.10 update to my 2014 FiST successfully,
Reporting back to Ford also was successful.

I had to reinstall my phone and phonebook, that all went ok.
I also had to reinstall my wallpaper, again all ok.
I will however, wait until tomorrow to if anything is better.

Is 3.10 an update to Sync 2 from Ford? I feel so lost. Lol Someone update me please.
Yes, available from the SyncMyRide.com website.
But I am sure it was written by Microsoft.

So far, I've been able to use Bluetooth for streaming audio much more reliably than my previous version (can't remember what it was before). It was unusable before because every time I got in the car, sound wouldn't play or it would disconnect...anything to be annoying and impossible to use so I just started using the USB. Now it works every time I get in the car without any fuss.

Ver. 3.10 seems to work well for me.
I don't use my phone for music anyway, I have all my music on a USB flash drive and that works perfect.

What I don't like about this new version is that it is annoying.
Every time I get in my car, the Sync lady tells me that she is connecting my phone.
In addition, I choose to have the 911 assist off and she reminds me of that as well and makes me push a conformation button on the screen.

That’s enough to make me stay where I’m at. Thanks for the heads up Dave.

The update worked fine but now I lost my NAV that I had previously installed. Huge bummer for me! Anybody else have this happen and did you find a way to get it back?

There is no way to put Sync back to an older version.
Maybe the dealer can do it or maybe you should contact Sync Service.

I assume that you are not referring to a factory installed NAV system.
Can you install it again?

Interesting. I haven't had that issue at all.

Now I am curious.
Why do I have this and you do not.

I am using a Android Samsung S9+.
And I have 911 set to off.

What is your setup?
Maybe it reacts differently to different phones or conditions.

OK, I figured it out.
It was the 911 assist.
If you have the 911 assist turned on then then the Sync lady does NOT announce the phone connection.
Or, you can turn off the 911 reminder, this is the way I had it before but I forgot.

Here is my current setup:

Sync 2 with the latest software update, Version 3.10
Android, Samsung 9S+ phone (not on Sync list) connected via Bluetooth.
Ultimate Driving Mode App. for auto text response. This app is turned on/off when Sync is detected or not.
Sync settings are, 911 assist and 911 assist off reminder is set to OFF.
Factory NAV with an 8A chip (not on Sync list).

Everything appears to work correctly.
At this point I can't see any differences from Sync Ver. 3.8 to Ver. 3.10.
I am sure there is some improvement however or Ford would not have gone to the trouble to upgrade it.
As we all know, Ford won't spend 5¢ unless they have to.

Yeah I have 911 assist on. It figures that would be it. I’m on an iPhone too but glad you got it fixed.

I don’t think I had 3.8 on mine. I think it was 3.6 or 3.7. All I know is the BT has been flawless on 3.10.
