Sometimes after SYNC 3 apps and/or maps update/upgrade process there is no log file created (which is needed to report installation status back to F*rd, if you like to do that).
But no worries, there is an app for that! 😉
Just download the ZIP archive with the “Interrogator” from your country’s Troubleshooting section of the SYNC 3 update website.
If it is not (yet) available, simply use this short link to download from F*rd server:
Interrogator_AB.zip Download: https://fc.nf/logmaker
The process is as usual: Extract content in the root directory of an exFat formatted thumb drive. It should show just the autoinstall.lst and the SyncMyRide with one archive in it.
Go to your car, start the engine and wait until SYNC 3 has fully booted. Insert your newly created usb thumb drive and wait about one minute to see that “Installation finished” message. Actually there was nothing installed but the required update log file should have been created on your drive and you can now use it for upload.
Got an old version of SYNC, like Windows-based SYNC 2 / MyFord Touch (aka MFT)? No worries, we got you covered!
There is an alternative version of the log file maker “interrogator” package available which you can use to create that xml file for Windows-based SYNC/MFT, too. This one should work for all SYNC versions:
Multi-Interrogator Download: https://fc.nf/logmaker2 (Don’t be confused by the file name, it is not a maps update)
Upload of log file doesn’t work?
So you have your XML file created successfully, try to upload it to your F*rd server, but nothing happens or even an error pops up? Be patient! Unfortunately currently the servers have issues processing status files most of the time. Try again later. 😉
Hi
I have a uk 2016 Ford Focus which had a syn 2 apim. i replaced this with a sync 3 apim which i bought new from a polish supplier. the software version is 3.2, build 18004, f6.2 maps. can i update the maps using your f8 software?
thanks
phil
I can’t support custom installations as dependencies may vary. However, starting from 3.2 hardware the internal structure is different from earlier versions so the map updates for those older versions will probably not install on 3.2+ hardware.
Hello.Can You tell me where to upload i have use with bgmap err on 2017 mustang.You rock with shareing so many things.Thanks
Dear S550.Guru,
It seems that the logmaker2 link doesn’t work anymore (logmaker does perfectly !).
I understand that it can be used with SYNC 1.1 also, right ?
Thanks for all !
Just wanted to say thank you, had issues with the update log and this worked first time without issues, nice one 👍
Link to download not working
Is there a new link to the tool, link doesn’t work.
Sorry, I don’t really maintain this site any more.
