Same here. It seems like mine updated on it’s on maybe one time a long time ago, but I’ve never sought to update it and my sync works fine and my app always works. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.What an incredibly inconsistent system - everyone having a different experience is just plain goofy.
I have never updated my Sync3 (not sure what I might be missing out on) and the app works just fine, every time I use it. ?
My XL has no maps and I don't need no stinkin' maps! =D
And I never get lost! =D
granted, keeping the bubble level right with the world can be challenging in the Ranger ...
"Get lost" is just another way of telling me that there are items off the beaten path that need to be taken to the dump.
No, just this…
? NO JOY 
Did it work before? Maybe there's something in your setting not right. Just a guess
Nope.No, just this…
I was purposely looking for this configuration for my XLT when I was shopping for it back in 2019. It’s the same infotainment system that comes with the XL. I like the simplicity of it but I’m sure I won’t have such an option on my next vehicle purchase. Something tells me it might be a lot like this…
?
My next purchase will most likely be a car - my 5g isn’t going anywhere in a hurry.Nope.
This is the SYNC 4A in the new 6G Rangers, even the XL. Available in 10" or 12"
In September, my system updated itself (even though I have auto updates turned off) and it broke all the Ford Pass connectivity until Ford pushed an update to fix it. When I contacted Ford at the time, they said they were aware of the issue and it only took a few days for them to push an update. I did the update with USB.I purchased a new Lariat November 2020. The Ford Pass app stopped updating December 10, 2023. I logged out and tried to log back in thinking that the app would start working. I've deleted and reinstalled the Ford Pass app multiple times and have had no luck. Deleted and turned phone off. Turned phone back on and installed the app again with no luck. I know the modem is working as I can log in on Fords website and I'm seeing everything. When I open the app and tap the login, I see the "LOGIN" for a couple seconds; then the screen goes completely white. Called the (cough, cough) so called Ford Pass help line with no luck and no help. I've had no issues with the app until December.
NOW ?
This is the message I’ve been getting for over a month trying to use remote start. Nothing was working although the remote start using the key fob has worked fine. Mines a 2020 Lariat Fx4 in service for just over three years. This past week I was in Utah on a ski trip and saw sub zero temps. I’ve not had anny issues with a weak battery. After reading this thread I just tried remote start with the app and it worked. Puzzling but it’s working now. This is the only issue I’ve had with my Ranger in 20,000 miles so I won’t complain too much.
