Ford MyTouch to Sync3 With CarPlay Upgrade

[AndreiC2991]

Ok, it’s clear, but is an option for activating TPMS for Sync 3?

 

[Dusten]

It can be turned off with forscan

 

[AndreiC2991]

Could you help me with the path for activation of TPMS from forscan when you’ll have some time, please? Then I can show it to my friend who have forscan and try to activate it. Also, if you made this conversion from Sync 1 to Sync 3, could you show me the menu for TPMS? Or just where can I find the TPMS in the Sync 3 menu. Thanks!

 

[Dusten]

There is no menu for tpms in sync3 here. It's just a light on the cluster. We aren't allowed to disable it.

 

[AndreiC2991]

Let's say that you have a deflated tire and the light in the cluster will appear, after you inflate the tire, you need to reset the TPMS or the light will be go off automatically (when you inflate it at the same pressure before the deflation)?
Here, when I had Sync 1 and the TPMS or DDS was present in the Vehicle Settings menu, if I had a flat or deflated tire, the light was present in the cluster and after I resolved the flat or inflate it at the specified pressure, I need it to go in that menu and hold OK from the radio button in order to reset it and keep the new value for reference and then the light went out.
In your case, how do you reset the values of the new pressure in Sync 3 in order that the light on the cluster to disappear?

We don't have any TPMS indication at all in Sync 3. It is only an indicator light in the dashboard gauges. It goes off by itself if you fix a low tire pressure. You have to drive a bit and it goes out on its own.

Sync3 and tpms do not talk. Like at all. Zero.

The light will clear on its own after pressure is corrected.

I recently sold my 2016 Focus ST3 a couple of months ago and bought a CT4-V Blackwing. However, one too many door dings at work has me looking for a DD. I am going to look at a 2014 Fiesta ST this afternoon, and was hoping someone could let me know if the Sync3 upgrade is literally just a case of updating the screen, APIM, and USB hub. I switched out the USB hub to upgrade my Sync3 version in the Focus, but am not very electrically-inclined. And yes, I'm sure the answers are buried somewhere within this thread but I'm at work and leaving right after to look at the Fiesta. I'd be very much obliged if anyone can help out :-D

The hardware is easy to swap out. All you're doing is the Screen, APIM, and USB Hub. There is an "upgraded" usb hub with usb c. There is also an adapter you'll need for the usb power. The software part of it is kind of confusing but relatively easy. The hardware is ~15 minutes. The software is about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your experience.

I went thru Both Tips on facebook. You can find info on the previous page of this forum thread.

It's 100% worth the upgrade except for how often the damn thing chimes now. Anything you do will cause the car to chime. Getting in? Chime. Getting out? Chime. You spoke too softly? Chime. Sometimes when I'm just standing near the thing it'll chime now. My gf, roommate and a friend have all commented on how much it chimes now. lol

Thanks! I did the Sync 3.4 upgrade on my Focus ST so that's no problem. I bought the car a couple of days ago and have a head unit and APIM on order, should be with me Monday. Also have a blend door actuator coming today as I have the dreaded clicking on start up.

What is this chiming you are talking about?? I never had that issue in my Focus running Sync 3.0 - 3.4 🤔

It's the old person reminder chime. So whenever you open the car door it chimes to remind you to look in the back seat or whatever. It's been discussed on here quite a bit, lol. I think the forscan thread has like 10 people asking how to remove the chime.
