2024 Flash Sync 4A Puzzle

[Kakaratto]

Hi,

I have a question. According to Ford's website, the 2024 Flash trim comes standard with the Sync 4A system. Here is a screenshot of Ford's Website:

If the Flash comes with Sync 4A as standard, why does my 2024 Flash have Sync 4 and not Sync 4A? I checked this morning and confirmed that the Sync 4 was the OS installed on my Flash. I do have the 15.5" screen.

Any ideas?

The 15" screen is SYNC 4A. The 12" is SYNC 4. I don't know where you confirmed it, but it's wrong.

You do know that SYNC 4 and 4A are basically the same thing, right? The "A" is the 15" screen layout.

Except it is missing a few features. Also, Ford shouldn’t be advertising something as standard if it isn’t.

What features are missing and what isn't standard that you thought was?

Karaoke for one… Bluecruise 1.4 also.

Karaoke will come at some point. Ford is still struggling with OTA updates. BlueCruise 1.4 has nothing to do with SYNC 4A. That is also an OTA issue.

Ok this is even more bizarre, I checked today and I received the update with Karaoke! However the about screen is still showing SYNC 4 and not 4A.

On a related note, does anyone know how to check which version of Bluecruise is installed?

Thanks!

It says Sync 4 because that is what the software is called. As Pioneer74 said above, Sync 4A is the version for the 15" vertical screen. It just scales the UI differently, has some design changes, and a few extra apps. The underlying OS is the same, hence Sync 4.

According to Ford, 2024 trucks shipped with BC 1.2.
