[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FordEscape:
Thanks all who made this possible ! Following your instructions I now have NAV in my 2014 USA Escape SE.

FYI...

- I used an old cheap ELM327 that I'd 'switch converted' for MS-CAN awhile back for some ACM programming adventures; I know it has a 'clone' chip (had to force an early version driver upon going to WIN 10 Pro 64; it would not pass the chip verification test in the newest driver auto-installed by WIN 10 update, preventing the device from being recognized). YMMV.

- I edited the first bit as instructed in this thread and FORscan automatically changed the last bit (checksum) ... I did not 'argue' with what FORscan automatically changed.

- I was already at SYNC Gen2-V3.8 (EA5T-14D544-AD; reported as CCPU S/W Version 3.08.15128.EA.10 on my MFT menu)

- I skipped trying the 'license file only' upload and just installed all of the files generated from the URL provided in this thread (I did nothing but insert my correct "ESN" in the URL)

- All works just as promised

Thanks again!

The one thing I don't see is directions in the instrument cluster pod - is there a way to enable it though settings or I wonder if there is another hex setting for that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flsdiver:
This is somewhat an open issue to figure out. The ipc bit to be set will require each user to download and compare as build on vehicles exactly like theirs to find the bit. some vehicles display nav info in cluster some don't, heck it is even options based within same vehicle (different IPCs). This won't be as universal as the MFT is.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Agreed. In our AsBuilt research for Nav, I recall some vehicles having an IPC bit stand out, but I don't recall which.. Maybe go through the other thread.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TScott69:
What if you set a destination and start driving? I read that the IPC won't show navigation turns unless you are driving. Could be wrong though...

Others that have done the AIPM bit change have done nothing else to the other modules and have the turns showing on the IPC.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rishidhar:
Tried that but didn't work - I do have the smaller IPC (2013 Ford Escape) - not the larger one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TScott69:
Have you gone into the settings to set navigation to Always on?

Settings -> Display -> Navigation -> Always on
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rishidhar:
I don't see Navigation under "Settings - > Display". Are there any bits I need to program that I haven't? I only did the APIM and not the ACM
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TScott69:
This menu is accessible through the steering wheel buttons for the instrument panel, not the touch screen (in case you were looking there). Maybe your car needs the ACM bits set too. Other people report not having to do anything other than set the bits in the APIM and install the Nav license and files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rishidhar:
Yeah I'm definitely looking at the right spot (in the IPC screen) but no Navigation under Display there. I'll try the ACM bits tonight.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheltonfilms:
What vehicle and year do you have? The bits change on models and years for ACM and IPC. APIM is always the same.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
I highly doubt (though I could be wrong) that the ACM bit has anything to do with the gauge display.

Reviewing the other thread, page 8, I see some IPC bits that were mentioned as possibly being Nav related:

I haven't done any research to see if they are correct or what vehicles they might apply to. But these are probably where I'd start looking.

I have a 2013 Ford Escape

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

I have a 2013 Ford Escape
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheltonfilms:
IPC is just like the IPC on a Focus: There are no enable bits. (I've ran multiple years and there are no bits that correlate with navigation for Escape IPCs).

I scanned the owners manual and there are no indications that directions will show up on the instrument cluster. I double checked my 2013 manual and it does state this.

So based off this I would say that an Escape cannot display directions on the instrument cluster.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DanMc85:
To the best of my knowledge... the entire right screen on the IPC's with dual screens is fed by the APIM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boozinbuzz:
I don't have much to add other that I skipped step 2, did step 3 first, step 1 last, and everything seems to work OK. Salud to the gents that put the elbow grease into this!

You are right. Thinking about it now, step order is not required.

PNG File OK

Hi

Just to share my experience

My soft version is 4.32

1 - Modifying throw elm327 already done

2- Png file to USB ==> success

3- reset to defaults

==> Insert Nav Sd card ==>> Youppppiiiiii:cool::good:

Didn t need to go backward to 3.8
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
Please note that 3.8 version is greater then 4.32. It sounds strange but this is.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcinXDA:
and also 3.08 is higher than 3.8
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BReflex:
Hi again

I i extracted the data to the SDCard and generated the Key file but although i insert the Card i still have the message invinting me to do so

Any idea ??

Thank you

i m still on the 4.32
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcinXDA:
You have to Reset sync2:

Push (>>) + (power) for 5 sec
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] missilecosmo:
please help me, which means this item?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcinXDA:
You don't need license:

1. Update navigation (if required)

2. unlock with png

3. forscan edit apim configuration

4. Reset sync2

5. SD card
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BReflex:
Thank you

Tried that but no luck !

I m now installing 3.8 and retry the process

What if the sd card slot is not connected at all? How can i test this ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rmcgry:
Put some music on an SD card and see can you play it.....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gianni245:
Thank you, but how I can calculate checksum?

In your example change D8A8 but also 0100 and 00AE.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
My fault, for me 3.8 or 3.08 are the same sync2 mft version
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BReflex:
Thank you all

It works finally

The trick was in generating the key file. I copied the 0x too

It must be without it

The URL in this spreadsheet no longer works, any advice? Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheSt33v:
The OP is out of date and no longer works. There is a new method that works using a .png file that loads an exploit that will enable the nav without a license. Browse the last 3 pages or so of this thread to find it. Once my ELM327 cable comes in, I'm going to try it and if I'm successful, I'm going to make a new post on how to do it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aberrix:
Found it, thanks a ton.

I hear there is an additional step to get nav working in the cluster, any input?

Also, has anyone figured out how to enable remote start with forscan yet or no? (yes, I already have a 4-button keyfob)

Yes I have a mk5 mondeo with different istrument panel. I had posted this link to explain what i have to do.

In this moment I can't connect elm327 but I would like to know the right bit to change with checksum too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheSt33v:
Yes! ELM327 cable came in today. Got navigation activated with no issues using the png method. Thanks everyone!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nick.boom:
guys help!

So i tried the PNG method and it seems as it worked.

but the issue is that my SD Card doesn't read anything.. the card is working because i tried it in another car... anybody got this issue?

another strange thing is that my APIM reads:

00 1C not 00 02 as everybodys else...

So it seems that my MFT is able to read FAT16 sd cards but not FAT32?! Right now i am trying to convert my maps sd to fat16 and see what happens... anybody else found this?

So it actually reads FAT32, but just the blank card..... i am now copying the files back on the sd and i will pop it in and see what happens...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Shouldn't your APIM 7d0-01-02 now start with 04 ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vincentka:
thanks [MENTION=4360423]BrothaJINC[/MENTION]
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nick.boom:
Yes, now it does start with 04... before it started with 00.

My situation is that before it was like in the capture below and every capture that i saw posted in was different: 00 02 | 40 00 | 02 1E

I tried with 2 sd cards: one with F3 version map which came with another Focus straight from Ford and the second card was with version F5 maps that is currently used in another Focus but was bought from an aftermarket store and none of them worked.

Another thing that i noticed is that the MFT reads almost instantly 2Gb FAT16 sd card and after i erased the files from the F5 version (back up before) the player read the card :confused:

As far as i can tell the card is an 32gb class 10 with 40mbs read and about 22mbs write formated in FAT32

[MENTION=7438778]vincentka[/MENTION] I have updated the first page with hopefully the correct method now. If you want me to change it send a PM on what you want.

With the PNG file method we could run whatever code we wanted. Hmmm
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Candurin:
Tedi,

Can you explain in more detail how to do this (walkthrough)? I would like to disable the navigation in motion, but retain/keep all the siriusXM traffic.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Candurin:
Just as an update. I've got everything up and running. I'm on the latest Nav app (AF) and I purchased my license through vincentka (I have no doubt the png method works, but it was inexpensive to buy the license from him and I would be rest assured it would always work). I downloaded the A7 maps online and I had a 32gb sd laying around (had to use the android and then windows program to make sync think it was oem).

The only caveats is that my ipc screen (just to the right of the steering wheel) says compass when not navigating anywhere. Once I'm on a route, it changes to navigation.

Another note is that when I changed the 00 to 04 in forscan, it gave me a checksum error, but everything works, no problem.

I have a 2012 Ford Edge (US).

I'm hoping tedi can explain his firmware trick (see last post).

Thank you all for the walkthroughs!

For the guys who activated thru the PNG method: did you update the MFT with the 3.08 from the russian guys forum?

So it seems that i messed up somewhere:

- first step i took was figuring out my software version and i found out that i already have the 3.08 so i didn't try to update it.

I think that this is where i messed up.

- I got the license for forscan so i inserted the elm interface (i am using an USB one but without the button on the back) and modified the digits as i mentioned in one of my previous replies.

- i inserted the PNG file on a blank FAT32 usb drive and ran it from the add wallpaper section of MFT. After i did this, the "insert navigation card" message appeared on the upper right corner and the information button moved in the lower quadrant.

- I did a master reset on the MFT (till now i did around 5 of them)

- today i tried reuploading the software on the MFT without any success. it says that i already updated and after that it gives me a message that i don't have enough space :(

I tried 2 cards with nav on them: one with the F3 version which is 100% original because it came with another Focus straight from Ford, and the second reads F5 version bought as an aftermarket part from an online store (this one may be counterfeit but in the other Focus it works)...

My MFT doesn't change the "insert nav. card" message with either of the cards above and in the music player, when i try to access the sd, it show that i don't have any in the bay.

So, this maybe against the rules and if it is i am sorry, i tried the 3rd card, but this one i bought after checking the previous F5 one as a blank: Sandisk 32gb Class 10 with speeds as close as the aftermarket one. I downloaded the F5 map and tried making a copy but this didn't work either...

Now i tried 3 version of cards and still no success..

Please help! What should i try now?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nick.boom:
So you think it may be an issue with my Elm interface?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
[MENTION=4647951]nick.boom[/MENTION]:

I think your MFT doesn't have the nav app installed...

In previous post I remeber that when the guys prepare the "real licence" the update zip has also nav app for the installation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nick.boom:
To be honest i also thought that... That is why i tried to re write the software :(

Do you know how i could do that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
Go back in post (I'm out of house and very low speed connection), you should find a zip called update_af that install the latest nav app and master patch for 3.08. I think after you have to redo the png hack to enable navigation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nick.boom:
Ok so thanks [MENTION=1116899]fblasot[/MENTION] now my navigation works!!!

The issue was that i didn't install the navigation app and thanks to [MENTION=7724766]tedi_k[/MENTION] and his zip file now i did that also and everything is smooth :D

And i also have some info for others: the PNG method works like a charm and with 3.08 for EU the following maps work: F3 (original), F4 (aftermarket SD) and F5(russian torrent)

Another thing is that one engineer from the factory they have here in Romania stated that the F5 torrent version is just a leak because Ford will ship the final version just from the 19 of November, this year.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fblasot:
Not true, I owned the F5 original from Ford, go to eBay and look how many items...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nick.boom:
Actually i saw that everywhere they are selling the F5 version.. i thought this guy is legit because he is an engineer in their factory... My mistake :highfive:

Another thing: does anybody know what is the apim bits to enable navigation in the cluster also for a ford focus 2015?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vincentka:
In APIM ? same :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Candurin:
In ForScan go to the IPC module, under 720-01-01, change E5C0-29BE-24D9 to E5C2-29BE-24DB.

That will change "compass" to "Navigation" in the right hand cluster/display next to the steering wheel.
