Thank you! Followed your guide and worked on my 2016 Fusion SE. I used a bluetooth ELM327. Can also confirm my nav card (a6) was not detected until installing the optional files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] briankmizell:
I cant recall where i seen it, but there is a Russian site with info on creating your own map sd card.

I was going to attempt it, but i aquired an A6 card on ebay for $38.00 W/free shipping as of Nov. 27, 2016, so for that price, a good quality blank high speed sd card cost about the same.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheSt33v:
If one were to read the OP carefully, one might just find that site.

No more hints from me though. Even that is treading on thin ice on XDA, and I'm really not trying to get banned.

Anyone else have issues with traffic and travel links Icon disappearing?

It was there for me prior to updating to AF.

But now its not there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] briankmizell:
Well... I guess I am off to see the Ford services dept in the morning.

I have tried to do a downgrade to v3.71 but not luck, it keeps saying bad installation files. I was doing this thinking the v3.08_AF is what made some icons on the screen disappear.

I spent 90 minutes on the phone with SiriusXM the other day trying to get the issue resolved about Sirius Traffic & Travel links icon not showing up.

They did an override and gave me a 3 month trial to traffic and travel links, just to see if my radio does support it. I know it does because I went through it all the night I got Nav to working. then I updated to v3.08_AF I got tired and went to bed, I got up the next morning to play around with it, but the icons just aren't there on my car ever since I upgraded from 3.08_AD to 3.08_AF.

All I can figure is that possibly the European software got installed, and I assume that SiriusXM is not available in Europe.

My only other thought is that some bits need to be changed in the ACM, but I must have missed it in the other various threads as to what bits need to be changed in the ACM.

If anyone knows what bits those are and if it will correct my problem, (dont really think it will since the icons were there before the AF update) I would appreciate anyone sharing that with me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Blueoval24:
In the ACM, find 727-04-01 change 0001 0255 53DE to 0001 0155 53DD

Don't worry about recalculating the checksum if you are using forscan.

FWIW, although I have never had the issue with icons disappearing, after making the changes in the ACM, I have noticed zero difference.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] briankmizell:
spent 3 hours at the dealer and they couldn't figure it out, luckily while I was there a guy for the explorer forums messaged me. and told me that it was because I have Nav in motion enabled.

Sure enough, I disabled those bits and the SiriusXm Traffic and travel Links icons came back on.

Ill add a pic shortly to show what bits I changed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Nav In Motion is a Region Change (telling the car it's from a region without restrictions on entering data while driving). When you enable Nav In Motion, you lose Sirius stuff. This is documented in the real Nav Activation threads.

Also, you mucked with your AsBuilt, never tried setting it back to stock when you had a problem, blamed/nagged Sirius until they gave you a free subscription, and then when that didn't work you went to the dealership to have them investigate your hacked system?

I'm surprised they didn't reset your AsBuilt data. I also hope they charged you 3 hours of labor.

The ACM bit does nothing as far as we know. No reason to change it. Nobody has reported any benefit or even any change from doing so.

Sorry for my poor quality English. I only speak French. I would like to find a link for the F4 or higher version for Canada. '' uT '' the please. rabusseau hotmail com Thanks from Quebec city!! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Candurin:
And to think all you had to do was search/peruse the other XDA (main Ford SYNC) thread and you would see a number of posts explaining that changing the "5553" code to "5753" (enabling "navigation in motion") has the consequence of removing all Sirius navigation goodies.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheSt33v:
F4 is for Europe. Canada is included in the A cards (A7, for example).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rabusseau:
Thank you for your clarification!!! :) For you will tell me where I can find this map.

Navigation "Upgrade" with SyncMyRide account?

Thanks for this guide !

Just ordered a replacement ELM327 (the one I had turned out to be a cheap Chinese knockoff that didn't support forscan)....arrives tomorrow, will attempt the upgrade this weekend.

OP - if this works out, I will be forever in your debt....

Question for all -- just got this vehicle....registered it on the Ford site, but have not registered it with SyncMyRide..... concerned about connecting the system to Ford through my phone if I go through with this upgrade..... anyone have issues with doing this in the past? Should I be concerned about Ford's ability to see my software tweaks?

Thanks!

trying to activate nav in my 2013 ford fusion with sync 2. The values in the apim and ipc are different. Can someone help me out with what i need to change?

my apim 7d0-01-02 is 2009 0000 888B

im not sure which ipc setting to change, i read here that it's 720-01-01 and another ford forums says i need to change 720-05-01

i attached pics of my current apim and ipc settings. Also where are you guys getting your north american maps from? Can you just get them from the ford dealer?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jc34:
Thanks for this, I was definitely adding the number 2. No wonder i was seeing no change.

Anyone get this to work?

The serial number i found for my card using Linux is 0x01c56616

I formatted the card using exfat in windows 7.

Tried with 0x and without, still "SD Card Fault"

thanks to all who got this working.

I have a 2011 Ford Edge with MyTouch and Sync. It appears that my version is 2.7.

Will I be able to activate navigation?

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cottcamp:
As a new owner of a 2015 Ford Edge I was attempting to follow the OP's process for adding Navigation. It appears as though I was able to gather all the required materials and work my way through the Forscan process but I'm having an issue as the Nav does not work. In the upper right of the Home screen there is a message that shows "Insert Nav SD Card" where Navigation would show. I purchased the SD card from Ebay stated as new. When I insert the card I do see a quick message in the lower left that says "SD1 detected". So I'm assuming it can see the card but there may be no data on the card? It is an A8 card. All of the software updates seemed to go normally. The PNG process showed me a "Unlocked" image. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Got "Not recognized". Already ordered one be Ebay...let's see how it works. Thanks anyway!

Simple question: can I use F6 with 3.08?

Also would like to know if png method is still valid or need a license.

Thanks again!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
Of course it’s not recognized if you don’t generate a new sdcard.key, as it was already discussed on this forum. Everything works, in any combination, as long as you follow instructions.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mingauskas:
Thanks for the input, but tried process from the very beginning three times, and of course generating sdcard.key each of them.

Guess maybe SD card is not good... Will take another one to try.

I did all of this and got my nav working just fine.

HOWEVER, now neither of my IA keys will start the car. they will only lock/unlock the car.

the ONLY value I changed via FORSCAN was the above mentioned 0 to a 4.

I can only start the car now via the back up slot.

I even tried reverting the value back from 4 to 0. Navigation went away, but the IA keys still didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Tim

2015 Ford Edge Titanium.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tjpolsin:
Car has been at the local Ford dealership for two days and they can't figure it out.

I was able to drive it there with the key in the back up slot. their first attempt at reprograming the keys cause the car to not even start in back up mode.

Now they have removed my aftermarket remote start, the car shuts off as soon as it is shifted to drive.

should I have installed the navigation modification BEFORE I installed the remote start?

The above listed hack didn't work and my car is dead.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Sounds like remote start problems.

Or something other than nav was done.

Anxious for dealer to fix and explain.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lemortede:
So I followed the steps exactly.

The hardest part was the upgrade to the 3.08.

The actual hack was pretty easy and went well.

It started asking for a card.

I ordered one and it showed up last Friday.

Popped the card in and it works great.

The only thing I have left to to decide if I want to change the campus icon or leave well enough alone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LeeVal:
When I'm running a module scan on FORScan it can't find the APIM. I have the Sync2 so I don't understand why its not coming up. All the other modules are showing. Anyone else had this issue?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Does your OBD device support HS-CAN and MS-CAN?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LeeVal:
I would presume so, I don't have a toggle switch on the actual device to go between MS and HS. Would this cause a module not to be detected? I'll have another look what mode its using and see if the connection speed is Bad/Good. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bronzefire:
This is all Greek to me but I am trying to go through steps to get Nav on my 2015 f150 MFT. I would love a step by step process start to finish but have not found it. I understand I need an extended license for Nav but I don't know if it went through or what its supposed to look like. The Forscan site has been very confusing to this retired diesel tech. Any help would be greatly appreciated as Ive already spent several days on sites trying to figure this out. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Yes, one module might run on HS-CAN and another on MS-CAN. If you're using a $20 ELM scanner, it probably doesn't support both.

Or your problem could be something else entirely.

1. Install FORScan. Run it. Go to About (steering wheel icon). Your hardware ID is shown. Click 'Copy to Clipboard'. Go to http://forscan.org/forum/extlic.php and enter the info. The site will provide you a link to download the extended license key file. In FORScan (still on the About screen), click Load License Key and browse to the key file you just downloaded. Your extended license is good for 90 days I think. Then you must repeat the process.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mingauskas:
Mine costs less than 20$ from Amazon and worked perfectly. Even had option to switch between modules. Send me pm to know details.

Hi there. First of all, thanks so much for this post, I am beyond grateful!!

My question is about exporting the Navi files. I put my USB stick in with the files and I get a notification come up that “installation is not compatible or it has run out of space.” Any suggestions?

I have everything else on there... i at the bottom, insert SD card in top right. But the navy files will not install for some reason.

Thanks in advance, and also a massive thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LeeVal:
Ah, once I binned the cheap OBDII reader, and used a more expensive one with the MS-HS switch. The APIM module has now been detected.

You mean the PNG? Don't change your wallpaper. Just add the wallpaper to the Sync wallpaper manager. Then, in the wallpaper preview screen, click the UNLOCK button.

Have you already done the FORScan mod to the APIM module?

I performed all steps over a year ago and all has been perfect.

Question though: Will performing a Master Reset or pulling the fuse undo it?

I have successfully activated Nav on my 2014 Ford Explorer! Thank you! (I think i'm waiting on my Nav Card to come in)

Right now my car screen shows "insert nav card" at top right. But in the top right box it shows a compass, does anyone know if this compass will go away and show nav stuff when i insert the card? Or will this be nessissary:

"also worth noting to fix IPC so instead of compass it says Navigation:

720-01-01 E5C0-29BE-24D9 needs to be E5C2-29BE-24DB"

Which was said in the second post of this thread.

Also, to those of you wanting A8 files. I have ordered a card and i will try to assist anyone who wants them. I don't know how much i can say and how the rules are so i will have you PM me when i get the card. (Should be here Thursday of this week 2/15/18)

What size flash drive

Does it matter what size of flash drive I use to update sync and install the nav patch
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PanicDriven:
It doesn't matter what size just to update sync and install nav patch, as long as it's big enough to hold the update (aprox 500mb)

Also, If anyone is looking for the A8 SD card files, PM me.

Another success story here. Followed the plan to perfection except when connecting with forscan. Forscan wouldn’t connect when the car was in “on” or “acc” key position.

If someone keep getting a Bad Installation File error like me, this is the steeps I followed and worked;

1- Format the USB flash drive. (Don't forget to do a back up for your stuff first!).

2- Download the Nav files and but the installation bath directly to your flash.

3- Once its downloaded you should see "NAV_APP.zip" file in your USB flash.

4- From your USB flash extract the file "NAV_APP.zip" by choosing Extract here option.

5- Remove the original "NAV_APP.zip" file and keep only the extracted files.

6- Plug your USB flash in to your car and It will automatically install the files.

Enjoy!

Installation problem

I have a 2014 Ford Edge with the latest version of My Ford Touch with no navigation.

1. After completing all of the items, I chose a master reboot instead of installing the Optional Files.

2. The only variation to the instructions was that item 9. says to change the first two fields in APIM on Line 7D0-01-02 from 00 to 04. Instead of 00 my system read 03. I changed the 03 to 04.

3. After the master reboot the top right corner of my screen changed from "Information" to "Insert Nav SD".

4. I inserted a new A8 Navigation Card, but the system is not reading it and it continues to say "Insert Nav SD". Also, I cannot access that section anymore and the system will not display the vehicle's latitude and longitude any longer.

Any suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone successfully added the Sirius Traffic service after enabling the nav? I saw an earlier post that someone had severe issues that seemed to be caused by the Sirius traffic activation. Curious if that was an anomly or something that maybe shouldn’t be messed with.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JohnNix:
Frustrated!

Very frustrating. Especially when you read about so many other success stories in this thread.

What Version of the Navigation Card did you use? I purchased the A8 and wonder if the A7 would work since that was the Version discussed at the time the XDA Guide was written.

I'm not giving up though! And I'm still hoping that someone in this thread can assist us!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] S_2z:
Yes it is so frustrating!! especially if you where at the last step.

I used A8 Card too do u think this is the reason!? but I saw A8 details in ebay website it says fits 2014 ford Edge.

Let's see maybe someone in this thread can assist.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PanicDriven:
I have been using the A8 in my 2014 ford explorer with no problems. I would think there would be little to no difference from my system and one in a 2014 ford edge. I think the A8 would work in the edge if it works in the explorer of the same year.

The A8 is for USA and CANADA only though. There is a European one which is the F6. EBAY

I really wish i could help you guys out.

So funny thing happened to me today. I thought I would give this a try. I have a 2013 Focus Titanium no navi. I was on Sync2 v3.6. So I downloaded the files on the first post to upgrade to v3.8. Formatted my usb drive. Unzipped the files and copied them to the usb drive. Got in my car started it plugged in my usb drive into my usb port and started the update. Kept the car running ran for about 30 mins. Rebooted and said the update was complete. I think sweet! But now seems my touch mapping has flipped horizontally and vertically 180 degrees.

eg - if I hit information my radio comes up. If I hit my phone environment comes up. Go into settings I want to hit system settings I have to press wifi setting. If I want to press a button in the upper left I have to touch in the lower right. I have done a master reset with no luck.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm hoping its a matter of just changing some setting in my APIM but Im not sure which ones and dont want to play trial and error. TIA.
