Vehicle Health Support Ending

I haven't checked whether I received an email but I have logged into my Lincoln support account and there is a notice of support ending on that exact date. So, I would imagine this feature should return a type of error concerning discontinuation after that date whenever you run the VHR app on your vehicle since it requires communication to their servers. Mine uses my mobile carrier as the data communication link for VHR. At least, I would hope that Ford/Lincoln issues a return message to those running VHR to inform them that their request will not be processed, otherwise, they'll have to deal with unaware people contacting support. Perhaps, they could issue an OTA update to disable/remove that lone app without changing anything else on MFT. However, I doubt that would happen, even if possible and at the least the VHR will time out if it does not have the ability to receive a reply from the servers after it collects the data to send. There is already a built in error for this part of the program if a connection cannot be established.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mustang2016:
Yeah it is a legit one that I got. I'm based in the UK so don't know if I've done something wrong but I will try that Nav App AD and AF and see what happens.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ReidStylez:
Oh, I have to be honest, I don't know if those are language specific.

Lincoln 3.8 to 3.10 Update

Did you ever perform a MFT Master Reset? The feature should be accessible under Settings > System > Master Reset. Were you ever able to restore the VHR application? Did you prefer to use the "Black Label" splash screen? Did your vehicle come with factory navigation or did you follow through with enabling this feature through the methods that have been posted? I have factory navigation and want to keep VHR, even though it's being discontinued, and my factory splash screen. This has kept me from updating because I don't have the current version of 3.8 that was supplied from the Lincoln site to restore back to in case of any issues arising. Also, I want to ensure that the factory navigation isn't affected by this repackaged 3.10 update.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

I'm performing some research to determine if I can understand the naming scheme used in the MFT update. I'm sure that there was a reason for the separation of each file name into AAAA-BBBBBB-CCC and how it helps in knowing which part of the system it references. I think this would help in knowing whether you have an update to that particular portion of the MFT update in these repackaged system updates supplied by members. It would help if those who've packaged these could help explain the naming and if the order of these packages when listed in autoinstall is important.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
There is nothing special for a Lincoln. It takes the same updates as others. I was able to update, downgrade, update and adjust my MKC as more information became available from help of rioachim and others for the last year and a half. Its not a simple matter to outline all they have done and learned over that time and to keep repeating instructions over and over is very time consuming. Anyone wishing to get involved in this needs to do a lot of reading, research and spend some of his own time to accomplish what he trying to do. Be happy that you are getting good information.

Stay on topic and if you feel someone is not being nice/rude you may hit report or chose to ignore.

No need of going back and forth as this is a forum for development and nothing else.

Is this update ok to use if you don't have the navi system as it didn't come on my fiesta?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ReidStylez:
Which one? You didn't quote anything or show a link.

Do you already have 3.8 Sync firmware?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mandie1981:
I have the 3.7 sync system, no nav
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ReidStylez:

help sync 2 myfordtouch nav unlock fusion

I have a 2016 ford fusion titanium ecoboost and I have looked through all the articles and I fell like I am missing a step. I have the 8" my ford touch and I have brought the elm 327 and the nav card (A8 and A7 from dealer) programed the apim by changing the value to a 4 and did a software update and now it shows insert nav card but does not recognize nav card at all. also does not say navigation on dash gauges, just compass. also on the 8'' screen on the right upper quadrant it just shows the compass still. I saw someone had posted a comment for the IPC values that needed to be changed so it can show navigation in top right quadrant but they have an escape. Also I can see in settings the extra navigation details it has now. any help would be appreciated thank you . also I had watched a youtube video on the nav unlock titled ford navigation unlock for MyFord touch sync 2.

Can anyone confirm that this process actually works on 4.32 ? I am currently on 4.32.14073. ( In europe)

The russian site says update to 3.08, so I had assumed that the update was needed for at least the .png activation.

If it is possible to add Navigation to 4.32.14073 ( which is 3.07 I believe ?) , is there a NAV file EA5T-14F657-XX.zip needed for this version ?

Thank You
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
You should follow the guide and everything will be fine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] red321z:
Thank you for the reply, but the guide (post 1) does not mention the sync version that this works with, or the need to update to 3.8 , although majority of posts say " update to 3.8 first "

So do you mean "follow the guide APIM/PNG/SD card (on 4.32 without upgrade to 3.8) and everything will be fine ? :)

I only want to avoid 30 mins of upgrade if not neccesary.

If I need to update I will use your EU revised 3.10, with Dutch Language pack. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72196212&postcount=937

Hi.. I have experienced this issue for some time now:

I copy the content of the F6 card to SD.. One of the folders contains 21GB.. when done copying and I want to view the content of the sd on the computer several sub-folders are empty and the SD size same folder contains only app. 7GB of data.. I have no idea what causing this issue. The SD card I use i 32GB (Tested and verified)

How do I easily make can I make an ISO files of the folders from the F6 and write the ISO to the SD-card.. and afterwards put it in Android and write the key-file?

Please advice..

Seems like the ford activator app will not recognize the SD in exFat format.. :(

Any guide, help or links will be very much appreciated..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] red321z:
Format SD as FAT, generate the key file, save it to PC , then format SD as exFAT and add all map files including key file back on the SD card.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kamilien:
Probably a fake SD card. I'm using F6 without any problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] whitetigerdk:
Jesus yes.. Why didn't I think of this myself :confused:

The key-file is generated from the serialnumber on the internal chip.. I should be the same no matter what the filesystem of the card is.. I'll give it a shot :)

Thanks..

I had my micro sd card formatted fat32 and used sd booster on an android tablet to get the serial number.

Thanks, All working here with 3.08, NL/GB English.

Having sat in traffic jams in the UK for the last 2 days, admiring the new Navigation, I didn’t see any RDS-TMC info. ( congestion accidents etc). The Radio Traffic announcements work fine. This is a 2015 UK Focus. Should TMC work ? Or is there another change required to APIM ??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
Since you haven't sat navigation from factory could be that your radio (ACM module) doesn't have TMC function...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] red321z:
Any way to tell if its hardware or software ? I have fm + DAB Digital radio, which I thought included RDS. Also it will break in from one radio channel to another to bring in Traffic bulletins. I have seen a few posts on changing bits in 727-01-01 in the ACM and/or 7D0-01-01 APIM, but nothing I am confident applies here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] red321z:
Ok, so as far as TMC goes, I did not have TRAFFIC as a sub menu under information. Using https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67374071&postcount=374 I added the bit for European TMC. It ran through the system maintatinance loop, and now I have TRAFFIC as the first entry in the sub - menu. Sadly no entries in the traffic lists, so perhaps it is not all I needed to do, or it is a hardware limitation. ANy help appreciated, as having navigation is great, having traffic info as well would be greater :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
Times ago, looking for change my ACM with one with dab, I found that there are a lot of different ACM based on number of speakers, with/without dab, with/without TMC, with/without Sirius...

I don't know if in your area TMC traffic is well done and useful...here in Italy unfortunately no...

I found a little more useful the real time traffic from FordPass app within sync3.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] red321z:
Thanks for your reply, I am in UK and the TMC is free and sometimes useful. I tried to foloow one of the polish forums through translate, and I think the work to fix traffic sadly did not succeed. However I could not find information to explain how to find if my radio would support TMC. Was there ever a list of ACM that SHOULD support TCM, and a way to find out what version is fitted. ? I think I should just abandomn attempts, but want to know I am not missing somthing in lots of posts and work allready done.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
Send me by PM you VIN number, I will check the ACM you have.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sh8kin7:
Yeah, so the link works if I only enter my APIM info. If I change the CCPU S/W Part Number along with my APIM (only 2 things different), link does not work. Does this matter?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rmcgry:
Yes. Did for me anyway.

Just changed serial and installed.

If I had read the post properly......i'd have entered everything :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheltonfilms:
As long as the serial is correct and the the one variable is set for navigation it seems to work fine (if the system has been updated to the latest version).

I have changed the serial and it downloads but when I change the vin it doesn't. Must be doing some database checking and if something doesn't match right it fails to build the package file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sh8kin7:
Updated to Sync version 3.8 ... Check. (Which btw made my SW version match the downloaded URL SW version).

Programmed APIM bit ... Check.

Installed License File ... Check.

Screen still shows "Information" in the upper right corner. So apparently I am missing something somewhere. Even went back and installed the whole software package the URL generated and still no luck. Only other thing I can think of to do is change the ACM bit as well, but I don't see that module loaded in forscan so I am thinking my adapter might not be able to do MSCAN since I don't see any of those modules listed, only HSCAN. So I am in the process of getting another OBD2 adapter.

Any suggestions on what to try here in the meantime?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rmcgry:
Did you restart Sync ? ......needs to be done for changes to take effect .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sh8kin7:
It restarted as part of the installation process? Or is there a specific way to restart? I did perform a master reset on my way to work this morning, not sure if this restarts it though, didn't seem to, music kept playing.

One thing I noticed installing the URL package is that after the install, I did not get any messages saying success or not, the system just rebooted and came back up playing the radio. Is that expected?

I checked, the NAV license is there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TScott69:
The other thing is did you get the whole file package? Your update should have taken about 10 minutes or more to install. If it only took a few seconds, all you installed was the license without the nav pack.

Other things to check. Could be that you flipped the wrong bit in your APIM or didn't use the correct checksum. Did you click the program button in Forscan after you changed the bit?

You do not have to touch the ACM to get nav working.

Forgot to add: After you set your APIM correctly, the system will reboot without intervention and then say "Perfoming system maintenance" or something like this. Then restart and you should have nav.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcinXDA:
[MENTION=7469910]sh8kin7[/MENTION]. Check navigation status in settings:

It is shown even if APIM direct config is set "0" (without navigation).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sh8kin7:
I installed just the license file first, then went back a few times and installed the whole file package. It took longer than a few seconds, but not sure if it took 10 minutes.

I think I used Forscan correctly when programming the APIM. I'll admit this is my first time using the tool, but I have since connected back to it a few times to double check everything (without loading any profiles) and every time the change is still there. I might reset it back, then back again later when I get back home. I'm sure I changed the correct bit.

Now shows:

7d0-01-02 0400

And also added +4 to the checksum at the end, forscan also agreed with it and made the change.

Hi Marcin - The NAV license does show. Does it matter if I generated the package file with a different VIN than my vehicle?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcinXDA:
I never tried to install package for different vin.

I have no idea why it does not work.

Dummy, but try reset: hold down for few seconds "right" + "power".

My 2015 Fusion Hybrid had 3.10 when I got it. I changed the ABD and installed the navipatch.png file and completed a master reset. The upper right now displays "Insert navigation SD card" but no matter which SD card I put in (A8 or known good A4 from a neighbors ford flex) the system will not read the card. I read that I need to complete the AG update and followed the posters instructions, however sync will not take the update, says "Bad installation file" and does nothing. I'm stuck. Hopefully someone can give me some guidance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] natewin:
Had the same thing happen to my sister's car. Was afraid to dig further sincie it isn't mine and not sure how a downgrade affects hybrid.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
The 3.10 AG update you found is not ok. Search my posts for the correct one
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] opalbiz:
rioachim is correct. We're using the wrong files. That's the problem with these mega threads, they get so big and go back so many years its hard to sift through it all. Thanks rioachim for the pointers and the work you did on providing these files!

I downloaded the update posted in post 937 on page 94.

Specifically the file "And here is the full 3.10.16180 US revised update (NA-Lang pack EN-US_FR-CA_ES-US for Ford/Lincoln)

It re-applies the entire 3.10 update and it takes an age (half hour or so) but it works. Since the navipatch was already done and the maps card installed, once the update was complete navigation was working!

I remembered having USB problems with the last update I did to my neighbors car years ago, and I found that using a USB 2.0 stick and formatting fat32 with 4K blocks works best.

Now the last thing I need to change is the right instrumentation cluster screen, it still says compass.
