Hi!

I have boot-loop in my Sync 2. Please, help me.

It's all about NAVI activation. I followed this steps:

1) updated to 3.08 from Gen2v38build15128updatepackageEULangpack1Rev4.zip file

2) used Forscan Extended License to change APIM Navigation configuration to 04

3) used wallpaper PNG activation for Navi

4) i've done master reset

Then i saw "i" icon and notification with "insert SD-card with NAVI maps" ( everything looked fine! ) , then the following happened.

I don't know why i did that, but i downloaded Sync_NAV.zip and copied files from archive folder "3.08" to USB , the description files autoinstall here:

[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

Update process started from USB, one file was installed and SYNC restarted. Then error poped up with "unable to update EA5T-14F657-AF". Bar progress got frozen. After 10 minutes of silence, I plugged out my USB stick and switched ignition off.

NOW Sync looks like unfinished action with progress bar in the middle of the Sync window. I know that i can restart Sync with "Next Button+Power On button". I restarted Sync , but nothing happened. Then loading GUI , then blink to update window and i see in my screen only progress bar. It is boot loop.

Please, can you tell how to fix bootloop or any idea?

Additional information.

After 1 hour, it was unstuck. I see now GUI without FM radio, Climate, Clock and Date. I can click on icons and Settings.

I tried to do Master Reset in Menu, but it doesn't work.

To answer your question. Ebay, Amazon are a couple places you can buy. Careful though. Some are clones and may not work. Be sure you can swap it out if it doesnt work. I bought mine off eBay. First one wasnt recognized. Contacted seller and got a free exchange. Second one did. Was suspicious due its lower price. But it works. I didnt see a whole lot of changes in detail though.

"Insert Valid SD Card Message"

Firstly, I would like to say what an excellent forum and what an excellent community spirit. I have a 2016 Focus Titanium UK version and looking to activate the sat nav. I have read through the forum several times and followed the following steps:

1. I was on Sync V 3.8 and followed the instructions on the first post i.e updated the APIM as per instructions

2. Activated Nav with the png file.

3. Installed the Nav file

This got me to where I had the insert Navigation card message in the top right corner, however, it wouldn't read my SD card.

So I then I have updated the Sync to v 3.10 successfully using this file https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ic4zvd7cgyjq69z/AADoc7AXlXJbcbubGn92Uutra?dl=0, and still, it won't read the SD card

I read that with v 3.10 you need the AG file, however, this seems to be included in the 3.10 update I ran.

My SD card is one I created following the instructions documented in this thread. My question is have I completed all the things I need to and simply need to get an official SD card, or have I missed something? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

Sync 2, ver. 3.10, forscan, mod elm 327

So I edited the hex value from 0 to 4 the sync reboots and didn't add nav. Does this only work on ver 3.8? If so can I downgrade? Is the hex value different on 3.10?

Navigation update

Hi, I'm new to this forum but have read many of the threads. I have updated my Sync2 system in 2015 F150 to Nav using the .PNG patch method but when I look at the active license menu nothing is listed. When I checked on Ford owners site it only listed Sync 3.7 as the latest version so I have upgrade to 3.8 to enable Nav. But now I see they have the 3.10 version of Sync2 listed in my owners site and requested I make the update.

What is the difference between the two methods for the Nav license? Is the .PNG file just a modification to the Sync2 software enabling Nav as where the license method is a separate file independent of the Sync version?

activate navigation ford edge 2013 mft sync2 v3.5

Greetings Good morning

to date September 27, 2018

there is a lot of information and it becomes confusing

As for the steps and the material required to

enable the ford navigation (ford edge 2013 specific vehicle)

Country Colombia - South America

with reference to the first comment of the forum the step by step

1.Require forscan and the elm 327 connector, to modfy the APIM

2. Modify the MCA, I do not know what it is and how it is done (will it be required?)

3. Acquire virtual license, the excel media and the link with Ford are closed, disabled

(how could I get the license)

- the png file replaces point 3.?

4. the usb medium - would the update be to 3.8 or 3.10?

5.the original c6 card I have it

information that I have collected

- I have the original C6 SD

- I have the update of my region to 3.10 (EA5T-14D544-BA)

- I have the versions that are in the forum at 3.8 (Gen2v38build15128updatepackageNARev2)

and to 3.10 (Gen2v310build16180updatepackageNA) - (Gen2v310build16180updatepackageEULangpack5)

- I have forscan 2.3.4 and 2.3.17 with extended license

I do not know what they are and if they are necessary

NAV_APP (SyncMyRide)

NaviPatch .PNG

Update to AF (SyncMyRide)

Could you give me a direction - steps to follow

If I require something more

I know that from the start date of the forum to today not everything is the same, there are things that have changed

I apologize for the translation I do not handle English very well and I support myself in the google translator
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] The.kid:
The steps are described in this thread. If you dont understand, my advise to you is to leave your car alone. You can easily BRICK your Sync system editing data in the wrong place. I learned how to do mine by just being patient and reading this thread and aquiring both hardware and software to do the job. I didnt ask any questions because all the information is here. You just have to read and take notes. No one needs to hold your hand. The proceedures are clearly written and software links are active as posted. My hats off the hard work that has been done to make these modifications possible. Good luck to you. -thekid

I just want to address the zip file questions brought up in this thread. You only have to extract the initial SYNC_NAV zip file (provided in this thread) to your computer. I chose the 3.08 option from the SYNC_NAV update files. I drug and dropped the SyncMyRide file and the autoinstall file to a newly FAT 32 formatted thumb drive. No need to extract the other zip files. I encountered the bad file error until I formatted my thumb drive to FAT 32.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Escape014:
HELP!!!

Ok here is the deal. Located in the US. I have a 2014 Escape. I was trying to get nav working. It was still on 3.7 so I decided to upgrade to 3.08 and use navipatch. This is were it all went down hill. I have 13 Explorer which I just updated to 3.10. I must have loaded the wrong sync on my usb drive did the update on the escape and then ran navi patch. Now my sync works sometimes and freezes completely other times and sometime I will have no screen at all but I can change the radio stations and adjust the volume. Please tell me I'm not screwed and have to go to the dealer to get this fixed. I have ForScan an elm327 and my as built data. I'm pretty sure that's all worth less at this point. I would be happy just to be able to get sync working again with 3.10 and no nav.

I was able to fix my issue by pulling the fuse overnight and letting sync reboot. I then used a file on here to downgrade to 3.08. after that it was stuck in a update boot loop. I waited till it started to update the software the 3rd time around and pulled the usb, Inserted the Ford 3.10 update and it started to update using that at times it looked like it was going to fail but it finally worked. The only problem I was the screen being out of calibration. It took my a while to figure out where on the screen to press to get into different menus as everything was reversed. I entered the engineering mode using the Eject button and right seek button. I was able to play with the touch screen and finally entered into touch screen calibration mode. it took about 5 mins of pressing the targets and the screen finally reported it was success and to press enter to accept new calibration. Ok no enter button and some how I pressed a button and it worked no idea where it was or if I accidentally pressed one of the physical buttons but it went back to the home screen and everything worked.

At this point I do not have Navigation(also not very important from what my parts guy at ford tells me A9 was the last and final maps card and 3.10 might be the last update put out by Ford) but I'm just glad I have working Sync2 with out having to visit the dealer.

Hi,

I originally had 3.08 (3.8) version on my MFT where I successfully activated navi and I am using it for 2 years now. Is there any new in version 3.10 as I am thinking about making an upgrade. Also I have a few questions:

1. will it be enough to install Gen2v310build16180updatepackageEULangpack3.zip then

2. Sync_NAV.zip

(files taken from https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72196212&postcount=937)

and the navi shall be still active or I'll have to make activation again once 3.10 is installed (Forscan+PNG)?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
Point 1. is enough
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gmorfeus:
Thanks! That was really enough to update the sync to 3.10. Everything was working after update but only thing that didn't was Voice commands. I just did a Master reset and after that, Voice commands are working also. Thanks!

But all together, I don't see any difference from 3.8 and 3.10. Only that the transition between screens it's now working a little faster (but that can by my subjective "feeling"). When looking in system information, I see that Sync is running 3.10 version of SW.... Something just wrong or I expected too much from this update? :angel:

Ran this file for a few years, but lately was able to download the "official" 3.10 from Ford. It was a little bigger file and it incorporated the AG Navigation file. Went back to 3.8 and then reinstalled the Ford one. The only thing I had to reprogram was the TPMS screen which was missing. Everything works as it should.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] omar302:
2018 Explorer has Sync 3. This post is about the previous Sync system (MyFord Touch) which was last used in 2016 for the Explorer. For Sync 3 the APIM will need to be replaced to enable navigation, I remember the reason because the maps are stored in the APIM itself & the non-NAV APIM has a smaller storage capacity.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mightypilot:
I'm new to the forum but have been reading posts here for several weeks now. From what I've read there's NAV software to load if you have a FORD vehicle that has not had navigation before. I'm curious how much your A10 card cost on eBay. At the FORD dealership I inquired as to the cost. They wanted $225 so I laughed and said I'll pass. I got a A10 card off of Amazon for $50 that works as well as the $225 version from FORD.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

When I bought my 2015 F-250 I thought it had navigation in it. Don't all Lariat models come with it? I thought so. I was surprised after signing the contract and driving home to find out there was no navigation. I've used a Garmin unit ever since to help me out on long trips to the east coast and back to California.

A few weeks ago I I noticed on the FORD web site there was an update to SYNC 2 so I installed it and upgraded to ver 3.10. Then I discovered this forum and discovered that a FORD SYNC 2 Nav unit like mine could be made to work with a little bit of research and a OBD2 adapter.

So I bought the OBD2 adapter, bought a 1 year license for Forscan, read through hundreds of posts to familiarize myself with the process, and downloaded numerous files. I'm just about ready to give it a try this weekend but I have a question or two.

Being that I already upgraded to FORD's 3.10 update, what I see myself needing to do to complete the upgrade, is, to use Forscan to change the 00 to 04, upload the NaviPatch.png file, and upload the 3.10 Nav files. Am I missing anything?

I'm unclear as to what some of these file packages are and which one or ones I need to load..

Gen2v310build16180updatepackageNA.zip 592megs

NEW_GLOBAL_AP_Sync2_3.10.zip 24megs

Sync_NAV.zip 52megs (I used this file to upgrade the NAV files on my FORD Edge to 3.10. Not the original file name.)

Go to settings - display -edit wallpaper and see if your navipatch is there. If it is you have to activate it on the screen. If it's not there, reinstall navipatch and then go to edit wall paper and activate on the screen.

Also you may need to install Riochims Nav. AG file here: from post 937: https://xdaforums.com/windows-mobile/general/myford-touch-navigation-activation-t3368080/page94
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dmoses1969:
Downloaded and installed the file you recommended. Navipatch is there. I touch the screen and it says unlocked. Must be something wrong with my map card. It still says insert nav sd card. If I go thru the settings on the the display I have navigation options in the settings. When you go to installed apps/services, should it show some kind of reference to the navigation app being installed? Also when I go to the screen that shows licenses installed or something like that, there is none listed. Is that normal?

It appears as though everything is installed properly and either the A10 maps card is not compatible with my system or I have a corrupt card from ebay.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
Where the Licences are, Navigation should show a "0" (zero). That means Navipatch worked. If that licence showing the 0 is not there, trying reinstalling navipatch or maybe do another reset. I've seen a number of instances where redoing these things will start them. Getting another card should be you last option.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mightypilot:
This morning I gathered all the recommended files I downloaded from previous posts onto my flash drive, headed over to my truck and gave it a go at unlocking the nav in my F250.

First thing was using ForScan to change the bits. Where as in some youtube videos it showed a 0009 and to change the 2nd 0 to 4, my readout said 0001. I went ahead and changed the 2nd 0 to a 4 to have 0401 and clicked on write. After that step was finished I loaded in the nav files for 3.10. Next was the navipatch.png file. At first attempt it did not give me a blue screen to click on to say step successful. I grabbed a fresh copy off my laptop and the 2nd time around I got the blue box saying nav was patched. The screen in the upper right still said information so I did a master reset. When it finished loading the information had changed to navigation. I plopped my new Ford A10 card in and presto, it was up and running.

Thank you to everyone who posted tips and details in previous posts with links to files to download. I'm very happy to have the nav finally working in my truck after 5 years..

Hey guys!

I just bought a 2015 F250 that doesn't have Nav enabled. I have scanned and read all of the posts across like 3 or 4 different threads trying to figure everything out. I am pretty new at this and don't want to mess up anything. Would anyone be willing to assist?? I would be willing to pay a small fee via paypal.

Adding Navigation to Sync 2

I’m working on this project to add navigation to my Sync 2 MFT on a Lincoln 2011 MKX. I have the equipment required – Forscan with extended license, ELM327 OBD2 Bluetooth. I have not yet been successful in doing this modification. The information I was using tells me this addition was not possible with the Sync2 upgrade to 3.10. As a result, I downgraded to version 3.08. Originally I changed line 7D-01-02 from 8003-0000-025F to 0403-xxxx-xxxx. I then learned I needed to leave the 8 alone as this signifies this is a Lincoln. I reentered the data to 8403-0000-0263 but again this did not work. I wondering if the support file information I’m using is correct. I used “Navipatch.png” file recommended from XDA-developers and did a system reset, no luck. Continuing to follow the XDA instructions and then installed the Nav-related file that was recommended – “NAV_APP.zip”, did a system reset and nothing again. I see further information tells me I also need to change the IPC “ 720-01-01 E5C0-29BE-24D9 needs to be E5C2-29BE-24DB” there is also information about entering the Nav license BT4T-14F500-BE I’m asking if you can point me in the right direction to get this mod completed?

Thanks

Bill
