RDS and EU frequencies

Hi all,

as many of you I am looking for a possibility to enable RDS and even frequencies on my 2015 US Mustang.

Here's what I did so far:

My first approach was the one [MENTION=2659075]syrusas[/MENTION] posted several pages back in this thread. I took those .abt files from the Fusion and tried to migrate the changes into my As-built data. The even frequencies were working but the RDS wasn't.

My next thought was: I could leave the ACM in the US configuration (e.g. loosing the even frequencies AND getting back the RDS) and then select one of my already saved presets (with an even frequency). That didn't work either. As soon as I switched the tuner bit to US mode, my saved (even) presets vanished and were replaced by frequency 107,9 MHz.

Two days ago I got my hands on AsBuilt data of a 2015 EU Mustang with nearly the exact same configuration as mine. So again I tried to figure out what changes would be necessary to have the radio work the way I want it to. The result was the same, even frequencies yes, RDS no.

In a desperate move, I then took the whole configuration from the EU Mustang (APIM and ACM) and flashed it to my hardware.

Again: no dice

My ACM threw me an error that it's configuration was wrong. RDS was still not working.

Now I switched back to my old setup: even frequencies and No RDS.

Basically I believe now that my hardware (or at least its internal software) just can't give me the functionality I want no matter which AsBuilt bits I flip.

Or there's more to it than just APIM and ACM values.

Any help on how to continue would be highly appreciated!

I would like to have on my Focus MK3 facelift(2015) the warning snow light as I had on Mondeo MK3 , namely:

- red snow light below 0 degrees Celsius

- yellow snow light greater than 0 degrees and less than 4 degrees Celsius

Can it be done? How?

Thanks.

Now, it only shows yellow, starting from 4 degrees down.

If anyone is interested, someone mentioned to me how to change the number of blinks when you tap the turn signal. It normally blinks 3 times.

Works on Flex and Taurus. Not sure of other vehicles.

Hello guys,

I am wondering if it's possible to activate at a Ford Focus 3 facelift with SYNC2 ,8" touchscreen in the lower right quadrant (climate) of MyFord Touch, the icons for heated seats + a/c + steering wheel heater, as in the photo below.

How to reprogram APIM to activate backup camera and/or voice command capability?

Wanted to add navigation to Ford Escape so bought APIM off ebay.

After installing it on my Escape, nav seems to work as well as Sony sound system and the AC controls, but the backup camera and the voice command doesn't work. Wondering if the APIM I bought didn't have these features? If not, can I activate these features on the new APIM with Forscan or some similar method?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
To enable rear camera you can change

Sync2 APIM 7D0-01-01 (data1)

no camera: 096C

con camera: 0B6C (+2 hex)

Then if you will add original Ford camera, to have active sterring guide lines, then you can change

BCM 726-01-06 (data1)

no camera: 1240

con camera: 9240 (+8)

That's at software level, of course you have wire video signal to apim...

About voice command I don't know...sorry.

PS: mods working on Focus MY2015
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] VikesCB450:
So the escape I am installing the new APIM already has factory installed original backup camera.

I pulled the APIM as-built programming info from Ford Service Info website and I've attached the APIM programming to this post. There are a few differences between the programming. But, your suggestions don't seem to make sense for this case. Any ideas on what might be activating the backup camera or the voice prompts?

Thanks for your help!

other data leave as it; Forscan will warning about check digit, ignore it, it will be recalculated by Forscan.

On Russian site: www .drive2.ru/l/474636905674178711/ I found an instruction how to turn on RDS and EU frequencies on Sync 2 (Ford Explorer):

1) Flash 4 *.VBF files to ACM with "UCDS VBF Loader" from: www .ucdsys.ru/?lang=en .

DL3T-14D101-AA.vbf

GB5T-14D099-AF.vbf

GB5T-14D100-AG.vbf

GB5T-14D100-HG.vbf

You can download these files from: www .fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/vdirs/wds/PCMReprogram/DSFM_PCMReprogram.asp?swproduct=IDS

2) After flash - with Forscan edit an ACM as built data:

727-01-01 98A0 F000 80D8

727-01-02 0000 31

727-02-01 0132

727-03-01 1446

727-04-01 0103 0252 53DE

If you not flash these files - in ACM line 727-01-02 there is no place where to type "31" (in my case with Forscan I see only 727-01-02 0031 but not 727-01-02 0031 xx, because there are no second block of data)

I have no UCDS and did not tried this trick.

In Ford IDS program I see that I can flash new calibration file to PCM and other modules but for ACM there are no new calibration.

Anybody know how to manualy flash *.VBF files with Ford IDS program?

Temporalily lost communication with the touchscreen

Hello,

2013 Ford Explorer Limited after the update of the ACM on the left side of IPC in "Entertainment", was displayed this record "Temporarily lost communication with the touchscreen", but when the radio is working and I turn the ignition on, then for 6 seconds the radio station and RDS are displayed and after 6 seconds this error record is constantly on. The phone, the compass and the temperature displays normally. So temporarily has become permanent.

The ACM I updated with UCDS, flashed files DL3T-14D101-AA.vbf, GB5T-14D099-AF.vbf, GB5T-14D100-AG.vbf and GB 5T-14D100-HG.vbf . After an update I have EU frequency and RDS.

A master reset of an APIM was done - did not helped. Checked with IDS and erased all errors - also did not helped. I tested all modules with Forscan - there were no errors. pic on drive.google.com/file/d/1AD8tZP-VNe9wLCUBuwAPgKr9_UPbw0Io/view

I was lucky with my focus mk3.5 titanium x 1.5 150cv, because all wire were existing from back up to sync2, so I add the original Ford rear camera.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kamilien:
Thanks for the reply. I think these BCM code is ok only if RVC lin is enabled on BCM. I guess your Focus is a titanium and It’s enabled by default. When I apply it, I took invalid lin DTC.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
Yes, I was very lucky with my titanium X, all wires present from rear camera up to sync2, just missing power (wire from pins 31 and 43 in c237 connector).

If, after made the correct mods to apim and BCM you still have the DTC lin error could be that the lin wire it's missing ?

When I compared as built from different focus with and without rear camera I found just the mentioned differences in apim and BCM; of course there is also the change in central config, but I leave it as original (no rear camera) since all is working right.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kamilien:
Focuses with rear view cam have F1FT 14A073 D* or

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

I'm quite sure, lin wiring is correct, but I will recheck on weekend. DTC is present when I change BCM asbuilt. Also focccus #99 with camera causes the connection lost with cam error.

Do you know what's engine fuse box, F28 fuse is stand for ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
My Focus, like others of italian forum, also didn't have rear camera, but when the original ford camera was added using original cables, all was ok, LIN included...so I don't think the problem is the BCM module or it's software versio; mine is F1FT-14A073-EE.

I understood that you have did all the wiring, please check that LIN from camera goes to pin 32 of C2280B BCM's connector.

F28 fuse in engine fuse box is for DC/DC converter and BLIS system (in some place documents say also ABS...)
