My wife’s Bronco got the Sync upgrade the other day. It updated us to 3.5.3 and Sync 610. So far we have both witnessed several new bugs. Wondering if anyone else can confirm any of them. Feel free to add more to this thread - though Ford doesn’t appear to be interested in even taking a bug report from customers.

  1. Navigation won’t remember the map orientation. We both use 2D but every time we restart the Bronco now it resets to 3D
  2. When CarPlay Maps is on a route, speed limit stops appearing on instrument cluster. When not on a route, it appears. It used to display it in both cases before the update.
  3. When CarPlay is connected, particularly on a route or if I use CarPlay before I use the radio, the left/right steering wheel controls don’t change radio station; requires soft reset of Sync to correct and then it will cycle through my presets. This seems to happen sporadically- it will just flash the current station and never advance.
  4. CarPlay is now jerky and lagged / choppy, it was smooth on the old software. This is the case even if we don’t use full screen.
  5. Attempting to reset Navigation under “privacy” generates error “Unable to reset… please try again”


So far I’ve tried a master reset and a soft reset. I’m not convinced pulling the battery would do anything. Thinking having the dealer reflash it might possibly help - especially if there’s a newer sync software (I have 610).

By “Navigation” do you mean the built-in Navigation or are you referring to Sync’s navigation via Apple Maps?
As the map orientation and resetting goes, talking about Sync built in navigation.

The missing speed limit is annoying. One of my favorite things on the instrument cluster. Hopefully Ford will fix this in a future release.

Here’s a new one I haven’t seen listed yet. Since my update my arrival time is now all over the place. It’s a 25 minute drive from my house to the office. The time now shows several hours and minutes. As I complete the drive it’ll slowly become more and more accurate. When I’m a block from the office it’ll still show an arrival time that is 5-10 minutes out. Noticed this both on the way to work and going home.

Having the exact same issue, super frustrating. Also found that when I ask Alexa, it only shows on half the screen. It's almost like the UI thinks it's an 8inch screen not the 12inch.
