I should be able to find this out tomorrow. I would think the system would simply read from whatever map card it finds within the system.

Do you have any information on the downgrade? I believe it's either not possible without using Ford IDS via the dealer, or it is quite a risky to do it, and a lot of the time it fails, meaning a trip to the dealer anyway?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
After some search in internet for Australian version I found this

So, it should work with Australian maps...

In the EU update you used there is the file EA5T-14F497-DE for European Language (English, German, French, Italian), but it exists also a file named EA5T-14F497-LC (or maybe newer) with Australian language...but if you are confortable with English accent then it's ok.

About the downgrade, there is no an official way, you have to modify the autoinstall.lst file, so it should be only when really necessary, just to avoid potential sync brick.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:
According to the Ford update site here in Aus for our cars, the latest available is EA5T-14D544-AD. I haven't worked out how to read these numbers, as all the information I've been reading and had a guy in Melbourne trying to help with, simply refers to the main download zip (Gen2v38build15128updatepackageEULangpack3Rev4.zip). The issue we have down here, no one seems to know what our zip is, or where we can get a direct link. Ford Aus are certainly not giving it out, and the version the dealership has, which some people have been given, is completely different, obviously to do with how their IDS servers identify software parts.

I'll do some reading up on what you've said though. It's pretty tricky to get a handle on these silly numbers.

I don't mind the accent, or the little changes, but ideally, I would like my local version.

Just looking at exacts.

I ran with: http://ivsu.binaries.ford.com/swparts/Gen2v38build15128updatepackageEULangpack5Rev2.zip. Which others report as being part number EA5T-14D544-AD. So I don't think we can use the part number to verify the location 100%.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nostang3:
I've tried reading the thread but a lot of the information is spread out and hard to find.

What are the options able to be changed in a 2013 Fusion [US]?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:
Just on the Falcon.

I got my little OBD box today, used the PNG Wallpaper Method, installed the factory navigation apps to Sync, and used a genuine K2 card. All works perfectly. Voice commands work well too. Very happy.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mesaman1553:
I agree completely. I've been reading up on this for the past couple weeks and I'm very interested in do this myself. I have a 2013 Ford Edge (US) and it has become confusing. :confused:

I would like to see a condensed gathering of the information.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:
Basically. It's not as easy at it used to be. The best and cheapest was is to use the Russian PNG Wallpaper method.

Files I used:

USB1:

NaviPatch.png

USB2:

**** These are all in the SyncMyRide folder vv ****

EA5T-14D546-AUA.CAB

EA5T-14D546-AVA.CAB

EA5T-14D546-AYE.ZIP

EA5T-14F657-AF.ZIP

**** These are all in the SyncMyRide folder ^^ ****

autoinstall.lst

I also have a little OBD box which changes the setting in the APIM with some crazy magic.

I went:

1. Image file uploaded and activated via wallpaper settings

2. OBD Box plugged in. It rebooted a few times

3. USB 2 for the install.

Auto install contains:

;+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++!

[SYNCGen2_3.08.15128]
Open1 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14D546-AUA.CAB
Open2 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14F657-AF.ZIP
Open3 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14D546-AYE.ZIP
Open4 = SyncMyRide\EA5T-14D546-AVA.CAB
Options = AutoInstall,RenameLst

I'm not 100% sure what the box does. I'm assuming it uses whatever protocol to change the appropriate APIM settings. This seems to be the same box used to enable reverse cameras in the APIM, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm in Australia, and running it on the EU version of Sync 3.8.

It does not yet activate the navigation information in the cluster, but the cluster does in fact show "Distance to Destination" but it always says 0km.

This maybe different on US cars, but I doubt it. The only major concern, which I'm not 100% sure on, is if the files I have used, are specific to Australia. I don't think they are though. I of course also needed a K2 (AU/NZ) navigation card from Ford.

There are ways to get a card without handing over what Ford wants. I won't discuss that here, truth be told, I didn't read a lot. But whatever car you have, you'll have more luck searching around while looking at Focus information. Those owners seem to be far more in the know.

I'm happy to help where I can.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:
Just noting that the above files have changes a few things in the Sync system.

I now have a new accent. I can't pick it myself, it sounds kind of English, but then other parts not. Netherlands keyboard it not the default, but is the first when you click to change the input type, so I assume I've ended up with a Netherlands locale file. Not sure which files determine this, certainly know idea if I'll find an AU pack easily.

The system has also reverted back from showing a local Ford phone number in the help screen, to my original direction to the Ford website for help. It's also changed "Calling X on Cell" back to "mobile". This is good for my OCD!

Voice is better again in this upload. It understands me a bit better. I don't however do a hell of a lot of talking to it, so I only use limited works.

Original Version: "Call Mike" worked.

First EU version: "Call Mike (Surname)" worked. Saying "Mike" asked me to choose a line number

This version: "Call Mike" works again. It pronounces his surname quite weird.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Was he asking about Nav specifically, or just AsBuilt mods in general?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:
Not sure. Either way, that's all I know.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superbananaman:
Where were these files? From update 3.8 zip file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:
These aren't in my 3.8 file, so I'm not sure where they have come from, I was given them with the instructions I received to enable them. I can upload them if needed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
These files are the update zip to get lastest nav app version and master patch 3.08.

They are general not country specific.

Go back in post and you will find the attachment update_af.zip.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:
There is something in these files that is definitely country specific in regards to the voice used. The accent has certainly changed. Also, the free call number in help has disappeared, replaced with the Ford website.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
Very strange...

files EA5T-14D546-AUA.CAB and EA5T-14D546-AVA.CAB are used to enter/exit safe mode for the updating

file EA5T-14D546-AYE.ZIP is the master patch 3.08

and file EA5T-14F657-AF.ZIP is the latest nav app 5.67.6

maybe something in the master patch...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcinXDA:
Today I saw that EA5T-14F657-AG has been issued by Ford, but I'm not able to download it.

Does anyone have access to this file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:
It's like this system is built to be confusing. The weird thing today. The main functions of Sync use the regular new accent voice. However, when it's talking to me after I've told it I want to deal with "Navigation", it sounds like the original Australian one that I had originally. When I heard it, I cancelled it, and then told it to dial someone, and the new English / Netherlands / Whatever accent is there. Back to nav, it's the normal voice.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

I'm unable to find the language settings in the full update file, but in the files above, there is a language DB which at least tells me the region codes that Ford uses.

Aus/NZ use 'ENA'

England use 'ENG'

Irish uses 'ITI'

For example. I haven't found references to determine my language pack yet.

Also looking at the SWF files used. I wonder if it's possible to modify these files to change themes? Or if it would fail a verification check somehow. I'll keep digging.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

That same file also lists all the phone numbers for emergency assist. But I can't make a link to the system in operation in mine. Things are locked down just enough to be a right PITA.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
I found in the list files of previous update 3.07 that your Aus language file is EA5T-14F497-LC.

Probably for the 3.08 could be EA5T-14F497-LD (the same happens for file that includes Italian voice, EA5T-14F497-DD in 3.07 and EA5T-14F497-DE in 3.08).

Anyway, should you find the above file you cannot install it, I tried for a user, only way is to downgrade/update, but you need the whole update package for Australia area...I tried to find it but no success.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:
Are you able to tell me how you were able to work it out from the file, what information did you read / what file did you read etc?

I'm alright with waiting until 3.9 if it ever comes before I do anything more to mine. Are these vehicle specific at all? I hope not, because Australian manufacturing finished here last month, so my car is no longer, I doubt they will want to keep spending money on it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
No offense but your information about update files is confusing readers and does not make sense. As I told you, register on ford.com.au and you will be able to download update files from there, when a new version is released. Until then, use what you have.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenashy:

On top of that. Have you read this thread? It's not exactly a walk in the park to get your head around.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chris872:
Anyone wanna pm me about nav cards? (:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
All the infoes I got from google and forum search...

Unfortunately here in Europe, Ford doesn't have the service to download sync update, only throught dealer.

But today we all know that the update are released from Ford (also) like a standalone package, named like Gen2v38build15128updatepackageEULangpack3Rev4.zip (there are differente langpack), Gen2v38build15128updatepackageNARev2.zip or Gen2v38build15128updatepackageChinaRev1.zip; these can be downloaded from http://ivsu.binaries.ford.com/swparts/[name of package].

As I told I haven't found the correct name for your area.

For US (and others lucky) user, using Ford site they can see the update and download it; but sometime, the update cannot be seen becouse Ford has decided that is available only for specif car model...but thanks to standalone package we can apply updates.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
The current version of FORScan has problems writing the As-Built data, but their developer/beta builds have the problem fixed (at least for my car).

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
Here is the comparison between my car's APIM 7D0 data (Focus Trend, no Nav, no Rear Camera) and another car (Focus Titanium, Nav, Camera, etc). So, one of those 8 bits is for Nav and another one for Camera.

After comparing a few as built files, I would say I'm 99% sure that the navigation bit is in: 7D0-01-02 and camera in 7D0-02-01
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
F'ing awesome. This is exactly what I was hoping people would be able to do. Now I know where to start looking when I compare Taurus data this weekend. I'm excited to see more.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheltonfilms:
Need to compare an Explorer Limited with base 300a package vs Explorer Limited with 301a.

Base limited has rear view camera and explorer with 301a has navigation. I would choose 2013 (I know that one).

Package numbers are an easy filter on autotrader. Type 300a or 301a for keyword and it filters it pretty well.

Using the explorer data that to me would confirm which data correlates to camera or navigation.

Explorer data looks like it maybe different but I assume the format should be the same. Which address does what.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] seadiel:
Yea I would guess the same as well. I compared a 2013 Fusion with Nav and one without Nav 7D0-01-02 data 3 was the only difference within the 7D0-01-02 Blocks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheltonfilms:
My Explorer has nav and also has the "4" hex value in the 2nd byte of 7D0-01-02

Do we know if the individual features are controlled by the bytes or the bits?

Say one byte is 0x9. So you have 0b1001. Now does this 0x9 represent 2 features that are turned on and two that aren't?

Feature 1=bit 3=1=ON

Feature 2=bit 2=0=OFF

Feature 3=bit 1=0=OFF

Feature 4=bit 0=1=ON

Feature 1 and 4 are on but 2 and 3 are off.

Say we change the 0x9 to 0x10 or 0b1010

So now:

Feature 1 is still ON, Feature 2 remains OFF, Feature 3 is now ON, but consequently Feature 4 is now turned OFF.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcinXDA:
There's one company in Poland www.skanbis.pl - this company enables navigation. So for sure it is possible. I got information (but not directly from them) that nav is blocked inside Eprom.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcinXDA:
There is cable/software UCDS designed by Russians. It is able to direct config SYNC2. It enables rear view camera but not navigation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Most likey bits. Since changing two bits from zero to one turned on my AWD gauge. It's an assumption. But the most likely one. There could be numeric values (whole bytes or even multiple bytes), like for the engine run-time. Not sure where that actually gets stored but I've seen mention that it's programmable.

Also, 0x10 (hex) = b10000 = 16

0xA = b1010 = 10

And just a reminder, one byte is represented as 2 characters in hex. Meaning, the hex "91" in your screenshot is a decimal 145, bin 10010001.

In 7D0-01-02, the bytes you have are: x04, x03, x40, x00, x02, x23.

I'm modifying my program to be able to read through multiple (hundreds) As-Built data and ETIS data to try to deduce bits that correspond to factory options.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheltonfilms:
Yeah I meant 0xA and I should have said nibble/half-byte. (late night brain not thinking so good).

Since two bits had to change wouldn't it be changing bytes? I wonder what would happen if you only turned on only one of those bits.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
No problem. Just wanted to make anyone else reading this stuff follows and understands the proper bits, and is comfortable with the whole dec/hex/bin thing.

I've wondered the same thing about those two bits. Especially since it would be pretty easy to test. Maybe if it warms up a little bit today.

Right now I'm collecting AB and ETIS info.

I wrote some more code. A program with a webbrowser built in. You pull up the ETIS page and search a VIN. Then click a button that saves the ETIS page as HTML, extracts the VIN from the HTML, loads the motorcraft site, enters the VIN, gets the As-Built webpage, saves the page as HTML (since it has all the AB data on the page), clicks the Download buton, and lets you save the .AB file as well. I've downloaded about 20 sets of .ETIS.HTML, .AB.HTML, and .AB files in the last 15 minutes. Getting the VINs from cargurus and truecar.

The plan is to use the list of factory options from the ETIS pages to deduce which As-Built bits correspond to which factory options. Basically trying to determine which bits are always set a certain way when a certain factory option is present. Theoretically, the more data I collect, the better this should work. If it works at all.

If it works at all, I will post some results and a link.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheltonfilms:
Hell yeah. lol Are you filtering any non-ABD related options? Stuff like paint colors and non electrical parts? (well tires make a difference, but I hope you get my point)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
I haven't programmed the comparison part yet. Just got the tool to download the data working and been pulling data for all the VINs I can. Got about 60 so far.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Agreed about nav in 7D0-01-02.

My analysis program finds that bit you highlighteed corresponds to ETIS data "With Nav System-Becker Traffic Pro".

I can't say for certain on the camera.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] YellowFocusST:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
You are right, that's why I said 99% sure, I had some doubts about the camera. After re-check I would say camera is in 7D0-01-01, first byte should be changed to 0x0B. And to sum up, for navigation in 7D0-01-02, first byte should be changed to 0x04.

Now, let's find that update file which contains the nav license. Anyone with IDS/Oasis access and experience?

I know all the info is out there. But when I'm playing with files that have the potential to break my system, it would be nice to see someone say "This worked on an Australian car". We have waits of up to 3 - 4 weeks to book into a centre where I am to have anything fixed. So it's more than possible another Australian has stumbled on this thread for help, and hasn't been confident enough to post. I guess this other bloke here is reason enough for me to leave too. I appreciate all your help, it gives me more confidence to go off and play with things.

So far I've programmed the APIM and now on my screen it shows "camera unavailable contact dealer for service" or something close to that when in reverse. I've also ordered a camera online.
