I barely understand the difference of what I'm downloading from riochim options, like what are language packs? Lol I was already on 3.10 when I started this because I updated months ago and i went it with the elm327 and enabled navigation with forscan so thats definitely done, I though I had downloaded the missing navigation files and uploaded them but im not sure because it only uploaded one item? Then I did the navipatch png and "unlocked navi" and am stuck where im at.. i don't know if I need to download and upload the 3.10 update with the navi patch or whatever a language pack is.. im no expert at this by any means..

I read somewhere that there needs to be something coming up under software licenses? Because there is nothing there. If that helps pinpoint anything
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
In this case downgrade to 3.08 and see if problem persists.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SpiritCookkie98:
Awesome, im at work right now so ill definitely give it a try in a few hours and will let you know!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SpiritCookkie98:
Ok so I used the second file to downgrade back to 3.08 which was a success but all the navigation options are gone, if you dont mind can you tell me which files to download and at what moment should I go back in with forscan? I think this is going better than the first go around, thank you everyone for all the help!!

Also in case this matters if I go to the compass option on my instrument cluster it says "navigation fault, please see touchscreen" this was viewable before going back to 3.8 sync and it still there now and my screen is back to saying information at the top right as if none of this happened.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
You don't need language packs, just download where is says *Vince. your nav app for 3.08 is old etc.....

The download has update for the navigation for ver 3.08 and ver 3.10. Use only the one for the version you have.

Post 936 link below: Use the appropriate navigation file here for Sync 2 version 3.08. The usb should only have the Syncmyride folder(do not open it) and the install.lst file from the 3.08 package. See if that works and if not, maybe try to load the Navipatch.png file again as some people report they had to do that more than once.

Just wanted to let you all know that I went visit a service tech who so kindly let me try his nav sd card (A10) in my car and by all means it freaking worked and it turns out my card was just crap which is a little bit of a bummer considering it was fresh from ford themselves ? however I am getting a free swap on the card and tomorrow I will post whether or not the new A11 nav sd card works or not since I've never seen anyone say anything about trying the A11 before so I figured I'd do so lol I do seriously appreciate the help from everyone that took the time to PM me with possible solutions and I'd like to apologize for wasting everyone's time (trust me I just about screamed when I realized it was just the card, that means 3 nights of my life were wasted tinkering with all the updates when if I had a working card it wouldve been perfect the first night?) but again ill let you all know tomorrow if the new A11 sd works or not.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SpiritCookkie98:
The new A11 card does in fact work with 3.08 and 3.10 navigation activation in case anyone was wondering and it fixed my problem! Thanks a bunch for the help guys!

Ford SD navigation maps for the Middle East

Hi

Does anybody know the name/designation of the Ford Navigation Maps SD for the Middle East, and/or where can one find these cards please?

I tried the Here WeGo Company, Ford official dealers and local shops, but no avail so far.

Many thanks for any pointers!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] omar302:
Ford never released a Middle East SD Card for the Sync2 system, so you won't find it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jpeckinp:
OK so lets see if I get this right.

I'm currently on 3.10 I need to downgrade to 3.08 do the forscan changes, install the png file and the nav files then install my sdcard and it should work? Then I can update to 3.10 again and not have to worry about any hacks again?

Here is what I've done, and with going back and forth between the forscan site and here it gets confusing.

3.10 was installed a while back

Sister now needs NAV

I did forscan changes

added the nav.png and activated it

tried installing the ag.cab file and get fill to big or some error like that

I do have the "i" on the bottom of the home page and it tells me to install the sdcard but then nothing happens.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
Of Roichim's Navigation update file you select the one for Sync 2 version 3.10. You format a USB stick with Fat32 and put the Syncmyride folder (unopened) and the install.lst file on it and apply to your car. When it says file is too big, that sounds like you are opening the Syncmyride folder which you don't do.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jpeckinp:
I downloaded his file and just copied the files after unzipping to the SD card and I see 3 folders 3.08, 3.10 and interrogator.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
Don't unzip everything to the USB. Unzip to your computer. Then open the 3.10 and copy only the Syncmyride folder for 3.10 (unopened) and the Install.lst file to your USB. Then apply this USB to your vehicle. If this doesn't enable navigation then you could put the interrogator file on a USB and apply that to see if it works. Remember to format your USB stick with Fat32 before you put files on it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jpeckinp:
That did it. Thanks

Hey guys, I'm using 3.08 and trying to do this. I'm using Riochims files from page 94.

I'm getting all the way through and my main screen has changed to show "Insert nav. SD card" however when I check my System Information it doesn't display any Nav software details.

I'm sure someone else had this issue but I cannot refind that post.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
Are you putting a navigation SD card in?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DragoChomp:
I'm waiting on it arriving, it seemed as though it should show up before I inserted the Nav card?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
When you put the card in it should show you the version of the card as well as the version of the Navigation update.

Hi there, currently I am running Sync 2 3.08 SW version with origial navigation on my Ford Grand C-Max 2016. It is safe to update to 3.10 version posted by rioachim? (will be necessary to somehow re-enable navigation SW, or it will be ok?)

Sorry for noob question but I better Look before I leap.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Wicked RS:
Hi all. I am in South Africa. I own a 2016 Ford Focus RS AWD with Sync2 .It is currently on S/W version 3.08.15128.EA.10_PRODUCT. I have installed the Navipatch and Nav SW, unlocked the Navigation on the unit. The problem I am facing is, when i install the SD card into the SD slot, I get "Navigation SD card error" " Please insert valid SD card" Tried many times same result. One thing I have to mention, the SD card with the maps is not available in my country. I registered then downloaded the maps from Ford.naviextras.com . It does say maps for Sync 3 update?? I inserted the SD into a card reader and then stuck that into one of the usb ports in the car and I get this message "Bad installation file, one or more of the files being installed on your system did not install successfully" I am now stuck. Is this because of the Map version I have? Should I update the Sync2 to Version 3.10? Where can I find the maps for Sync 2 for Africa/Southern Africa?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Wicked RS:
Hi all, let me simplify my questions and can someone reply with the correct links for the following downloads. I own 2016 Ford Focus RS with Sync2 Version 3.08, non navigation activated from factory.

2. Navigation software/app 3.10

3. Navipatch.png

4. Maps for Southern Africa/Africa. Language -English

Here is your navipatch: https://yadi.sk/d/i-JGQR8ZwLrLM

Navigation update for Sync 3.08 and 3.10 use only the 3.08: https://mega.nz/file/xtQBCRhY#g4x3KVBFncz0MGraP0i_dNP6uS-M3s4RhTv85JsjozA

You will have to get Sync 2 version 3.10 from Ford. It should be free to update. Riochim had it in this web site but XDA renumbered and post 936 on page 94 no longer exists. It was actually on this thread before.

You cannot download the maps for Sync 2 as you can for Sync. 3. Map SD cards are available from Ford (costly) or Ebay.

I don't know if a map card is available for South Africa, you'll have to do some web searching for that. Here's a site you can look: https://www.gpspower.net/ford/358875-ford-sync-2-a10-north-america-map-2019-a.html

If you want to enable navigation, it's easier to do in 3.08 then 3.10. You can then update to 3.10, but you will likely have to use the appropriate Navigation update file for that version 3.08 with 3.08 and 3.10 with 3.10

Good luck
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Wicked RS:
Thank you for your reply Lenko, I have made contact with Ford SA on Friday, lets see if I have an answer tomorrow. Our Mk3 Ford Focus RS cars in SA , both Sync 2 and Sync 3 did not come with navigation. I googled then followed some Youtubers ( and ForScan)in enabling Navigation on my Sync2 car. I can confirm that I am on CCPU S/W version 3.08.15128.EA.10_PRODUCT, I have uploaded version 3.08 Nav SW and the NaviPatch a well. All seem to be there, I was initially having an issue with the SD slot in the, but worked around that. I now get Bad installation file error, hence the reason I wanted to update to 3.10. While i wait for the dealers to open tomorrow, I would like to try to re-flash my car with Version 3.08 Nav SW and the Navi Patch. Can i use the ones above for 3.08? If not can you resend the correct ones. Thank you so much for your insight thus far.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
You are already on 3.08 and when it says insert Navigation sd card top right means your navipatch.png was activated and that segment of activation is complete. For the Naviupdate, use the download link to get that one and then use only the folder for version 3.08. Extract the 3.08 to your computer, format a USB stick with Fat32 or Xfat. Then just copy or drag over the 3.08 folder (unopened) and the autoinstall.lst file over to the USB stick. There should only be those two entries on the USB. Apply that to your vehicle. After this all you need is the Ford sd navigation card to insert in the proper slot.

If the Navigation update file had already been applied to your vehicle successfully once, you cannot reapply it again.

So here is my problem.

I have a 2014 Escape SE and I love to research before I ask a question. I followed instructions, watched videos and read page after page and I still can't figure this out. I can not get the nav software to install (see picture). I can install the A11 SD card and it will still say install Nav SD card at the top right of the screen and not change. Should I try and go back to 3.08?

updated sync to 3.10 from 3.08

Nav patch.png

Used the 3.10 nav update

did a bazillion resets.

pulled lots of hair out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
Your picture attachment shows you are on Sync version 4.30 which is older than 3.08. If that is correct you should update to 3.08 and activate. Can you explain why you think you are on the latest Sync 2 version 3.10 or is your picture not correct? Version 3.08 is here and update to that as you can't enable navigation in version 4.30. https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-enable-navigation-on-cars-with-sync-gen-2-and-myford-touch.3484473/

Once you enable in 3.08 you might consider updating to 3.10, but some are having problems when they do that and you then might have to use Riochim's Naviupdate files posted in his link above.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Wicked RS:
Hi Lenko, thank you once again for all your info/advice thus far. It has become apparent that an SD card with maps of South Africa for my Sync 2 unit is not available anywhere. I started this project to see if i could do this, i do not plan on changing the unit out for a Sync 3 with Nav. Its just too costly here in S Africa to get that done and I do not want to install an aftermarket unit. I will just continue to use my phone for Navigation. That been said, is there a way to mirror my phones screen on the Sync2?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] randalface:
I attached the wrong picture. I just checked and I have version 3.10.16180.EA.0_product.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
Some had put the interrogator file (With the 3.10 update package) on a formatted USB stick and applied it to their vehicle and that activated their navigation that way. I never used that file on mine as it was enabled in 3.08 quite a few years ago. You can try that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] randalface:
i tried what you said and that didn't work. I noticed when I watched a video on youtube, the guy has (navigation application version) listed under his system info. I think that's where my problem is. Under settings, I do have a navigation menu that will give me options for routs and other things of that nature.

Go through this thread there may be some answer there that you are missing:

SYNC 2 Ver 3.10 Navigation - FORScan forum

This next one is long, but we had many similar problems and were able to work them out: https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6235&p=55746&hilit=Navigation+thread#p55746

I wouldn't give up - it should work on your vehicle.

As a last resort you can always go back to 3.08 and enable it as it seems to be easier in 3.08. The threads above show how to go back. I've done it a few times - it's not that hard.

Hi there,

New to the forum and new to the Flex. I’ve got a 2013 SEL that’s already been updated to CCPU 3.10.16180.EA.0. I’ve been following the steps to activate nav, and have gotten to the point where it says to insert the SD card. I’ve also installed the navigation update due to the car not recognizing my A10 card, but this is still an issue. Any suggestions on what to do next?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] randalface:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
One thing I've noticed is that it seems if your Sync 2 was updated to 3.10 by Ford then those seem to cause this issue. One solution has been for many to go back to Sync 2 version 3.08 and enable navigation and then upgrade to Riochim's version of Sync 2 ver. 3.10 - IF YOU WANT TO. Not much difference from 3.08. I've posted how to do this on this thread and also on Forscan many times and it's not very hard. The only other thing that's possible is bad Navigation sd cards depending on their source.

Hey all, been having problems with my sync 2 system, basically the satnav intermittently decideds to turn off and go back to the home screen and sometimes I can't even use satnav. My car came with satnav from the factory. I've tried factory reset etc and no joy. I'm wondering if I was to downgrade to 3.08 and re-update to 3.10 would that clear all data perfectly and sort any problems? If so can someone provide me links to the best files to use as I've read some versions are broken etc. So I'd need a 3.08 downgrade, a 3.10 update(fully working) and any app updates like navigation app for example. Do you guys know any other reasons why this would happen and if what I say will fix it? Also I am using a satnav card I made myself is there also a good working version of UK maps so I can remake the card too. Thank you in advance.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jondc:
If you log into your Ford owner account, you can see if there’s an update message for your MFT that has the files to load on the card. If you don’t see it there, then you can just use a VIN decoder to change your year and check value. If you don’t want to try that, then search for your make, model, & trim but a newer year model (as close to yours) and pop that VIN into the MFT software update tool on the syncmyride website and it will give you the software files.

I tried using Rioachim's zip file in the MEGA app to go back to 3.08, but everytime I try to install, I get the "Bad Install File" error message.

Am I missing the "Naviupdate"? Where is that download link?

Great job guys. Tried it and it works on my 2015 edge. Only 1 issue. Version 3.1 doesn't seem to like GPS loosing connection. So reverted back to 3.08. But even in 3.08 if I go in a tunnel and GPS looses lock, the nav shuts down completely and seems to crash. The display goes back to the home page of the car. Once I click on Navigation again to relaunch it actually launches but once the map loads then it shuts back down to the main sync home screen. Keeps doing this for like 15 to 20 minutes. Then it works again. On 3.1 it won't launch maps again. Have you guys run into this problem? I did the update to 3.08/ forscan mod/ install the Nav apps/install the jpeg unlock/ Master reset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GreatHate:
I'm in the US and also experiencing this very issue. If I go through a tunnel and loose GPS, NAV shuts down to the main home sync screen. If I relaunch it [top right corner says "launching Nav"] and must press it again after that message and maps load for like 2 seconds and closes up again. Version 3.1 would NOT let me access the maps again, it would crash everything. VERSION 3.08 would fix itself after like 15 minutes of just leaving it alone. Bug? Or just a bad version of the install files?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GreatHate:
Hey guys... how many packages are there for the smaller file that throws in the apps for nav to work? I notice I have a 29meg one. If there different versions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
Riochim's Navigation update files are the correct ones. If you are on version 3.10 you can try to put the Interrogator File on a USB and apply that to your vehicle. It's helped some who did this and shouldn't hurt anything if it doesn't work. Seems a lot are having trouble with Navigation after upgrading their Sync 2 to version 3.10 from Ford.
