Erm, I don't know exactly, but here is a link to the forum / thread where I first worked out about updating my Sync 2 http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/79328-update-sync-2-the-easy-way/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snarloas:
The images in that link matches mine. Many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snarloas:
The numbers at the end are more like build numbers, the higher it is the more recent. Similar to Windows 10 installs.

Hi Snarloas

I've also unlocked the nav on my UK Focus 2016.

I have the 3.08 version, works fine, I'm not sure if there is much to be gained updating to 3.10.

My next project is adding a reverse camera.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snarloas:
Thanks for the Info. I ordered a st3 navigation and when it came the nav was missing. They gave me tyres as a substitute but I was never truly happy. I'm glad this has been sorted. Keep us updated with the reversing cam please.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snarloas:
Yip mine worked. No issues at all. Thanks guys.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] focus-1910:
I've added the reverse camera option, so now when I select reverse, it's looking for the camera. Unfortunately the camera is on a slow boat from China, so it'll be a few weeks till the next update.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snarloas:
How do you add that to the system? Have you got a guide? What all parts did you have to order? I see there is wireless transmitters so you don't have to run cables the length of the motor.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] focus-1910:
The camera I've ordered on eBay replaces the boot handle/number plate lights. There appears to be different boot handles on some models, mine is 200mm wide. I'm hoping that there's going to be some pre existing wiring in the car, I've not started digging for it yet. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction for that. I found on a FocusST forum that the AV cable needs to be adapted to connect to pin 14 & 15 on the back of the sync 2, again, I've still to dig into that. The change I made to the APIM 7D0-01-01 was from 0168 64CA 1080 to 0368 64CA 1082. I'll post again when it's done.

Hallo, I’ve activate the SYNC2 navigation (thanks to XDA’s instructions). Right now I have in use F5 SD card, and I’d like to update maps to F6 or even latest. Do you have any link to download maps and instructions how to do? Thanks.

Hallo, I’ve already activate the SYNC2 navigation, (thank you to XDA). And now, I’d like to up-date my current F5 SD (original Ford) to F6 or even latest version. Do you have any link available to download maps with installing instructions? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] voasy:
Hi Guys,

I recently bought a Focus Zetec S last weekend 66 Plate. It came with Sync 2, my software is on the same version as this post.

My Sync 2 doesn't have the Insert Sat Nav option instead has the Information System in the top right hand corner.

Also I am in the UK.

Can anyone confirm that the guide will allow me to install the Navigation onto my Sync 2?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FlevansXDA:
Yes 100% works
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] voasy:
Thanks mate.

Do I need anything else for installing the UK files? Or is it just everything that was in the original post.

Also where is the OB2 port on a Focus is it just under the steering wheel?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FlevansXDA:
I updated my firmware to 3.10 (there's plenty of info on Google on how to do that using a USB drive)

Then just followed the steps here to get the Nav working.

You'll also need a map SD card. F5 ones are easily available on eBay (you can also make your own - there are guide on google as well as links to get F6 the newest maps, but it IS a hassle)

The port is in the pull out pocket where your right knee is under (i.e. Underneath the steering wheel and to the right)

Hope that helps!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] voasy:
Thats fantastic mate, cheers. Defo going to give this a try was gutted that I couldn't just pop the SD card in and it worked.

Couple more questions - is it worth updating to 3.10? Or would you not bother? Seen as the this tut is for my version anyway.

Also can you provide me with a link on how you make your own SD card couldn't find it.

Just as a try, I will probably just buy one on eBay but just want to have a look anyway.

Thanks Again,

Michael
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FlevansXDA:
I've PM'ed you mate

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Oh and I think it's worth updating as then you don't need to install the 'optional/additional' files mentioned in the original instructions....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] voasy:
Thanks mate,

Definitely going to give this ago just need to get myself an adapter.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] focus-1910:
Worked fine on my UK 2016 focus. You'll find the OB2 port behind the little fold down pocket below and to the right of the steering wheel. I used the patch file to unlock, but then an update file from later in the thread because mine was already at version 3.08.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] voasy:
Yeah I've found the OB2 port now, just need to order an ELM327 was thinking this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ELM327-Di...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Take it you just followed the instructions from the original post then?

Sorry for all the questions, just don't want to mess up the system.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] focus-1910:
That OBDII looks the same as I got, you'll need the forscan software , then follow their instructions for an extended license, it's free.

The original instruction didn't work perfectly for me.

The navpatch file to that then gives you an "Unlock" image to click onto worked ok, but I couldn't get the other files to load. Possibly because I was already on 3.08.

After searching through the forums, I found an update file, but this wouldn't load automatically either. I edited the autoinstall file and used the manual update option on the sync2 screen.

I've been searching for a link to the files I used, they're on another thread. Look for "MyFord Touch Navigation Activation Only" , post # 472 by tedi_k. I do still have these files on my USB stick.

I understand your concerns about messing up your system, I was exactly the same, there were a few worrying minutes when the screen went black after the APIM update, just switch ignition off/on when it prompts you , and didn't panic.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] voasy:
Man now I'm getting confused.. stuff hear there and everywhere.

Don't fancy PMing me a tutorial do you? If you have time to put one together

With links if possible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] focus-1910:
Sorry, not got time to do a tutorial. Just go one step at a time. Get your OBDII and update the APIM. I changed APIM. 7D0_01_02 from 001C IF00 0419 to 041C 1F00 041D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jagred:
If you cant fallow tutorial from the first page, it may be a good idea to dont do this yourself. You can broke your car.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fabriani:
Hi all,

have a few questions :

Can I follow the steps + png file + nav-related files exactly as described by TheSt33v on first page to activate the navigation on a Focus Europe version?

Do I have to be careful about something or I have to change something?

Which is the optional update pack??? I see that many have not installed it.

It's obligatory a master reset?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cg91ta:
So close

I'm hoping someone can set me on the right path here. I was not aware that the NAVAPP files would start an auto-install and placed the USB drive in while I was still connecting Forscan. When I looked over the screen was telling me I had an installation error. After shutting the ignition off and then on, my radio came up as "undefined" and I was unable to find any plugged in devices.. I undid the APIM change and master reset with no success. In desperation, I downloaded the 3.10 Sync update and when it finished, all is back to "stock". whew.

I started the process over, recieved the "successfully unlocked" message using the png file but now I get "Bad installation files" when I try and use the NAVAPP or NAVAPP 5.67.6. I feel like I am soo close.. Suggestions??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fabriani:
Hi guys,

I need a great help from you. I have made all the steps 00 to 04 in APIM, installed the png file and become the "nav unlocked" but whrn I insert the flash drive with the nav-related files I become this:

"Bad installation file

One or more of the files being installed on your system did not install succesfuly."

What should I make/try?

Up to this step everything went smoothly

Can it be that the nav-related files arent for Europe?

In his tutorial on page 1,TheSt33v writes nothing about any reset. Should he? What stage?

Any advice is welcome.

I have Sync2 v.3.10

L.E.

I have an ideea:

should I modify in the autoinstall.lst file the first line - [SYNCGen2_3.08.15128] to [SYNCGen2_3.10.16180] ?

If I try , Can I break something?

THANKS!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fabriani:
I modified in NaviUpdate_5.67.6 the autoinstall.lst file the line [SYNCGen2_3.08.15128] to [SYNCGen2_3.10.16180] and saved.

Put on a new formatted FAT32 USB Stick : SyncMyRide and the modified autoinstall file.

Have pluged it in my car. It installed some files, had made a reset , it appears the "i" icon at the bottom of my home screen and on top right appears :

Insert nav.SD card

But the last installing file did not work, it hangs at 50% : Installing file...

( 1 of 1 )

SyncMyRide\EAST-14F657-AF.ZIP

and after a while it pop-up this:

Installation failed

The installation had run out of space or does not work with this version.

Now I have :

- the "i" icon at the bottom

- Insert nav.SD card at the top right

- a screen with:

Installing file...

( 1 of 1 )

SyncMyRide\EAST-14F657-AF.zip

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

;IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII; ;

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

hanging/freezing at 50%

I am not able to perform a master reset because I can't acces the main menu. Is there an another way to make a master reset?

HELP PLEASE !!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
I have sent you a message. As a word of advice for others tempted to modify install files: don't ! If you know about Sync 2 Safe Mode, CIP image, additional packages... sure, go ahead. Note that dowgrading can brick your APIM module.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fabriani:
It's done! I have Navigation.

All these with the great help, knowledge and professionalism of our forum colleague, rioachim.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] focus-1910:
Okay, reverse camera has arrived from China and is now fitted. Started searching for an existing wiring harness, there isn't one. Pins 14 & 15 on the APIM plug are empty. Terminals to fit the plug are now on order from USA, couldn't find them in the UK.

Updating to 3.10?

Hi,

I succesfully got to enable NAV on my Edge 2013 on version 3.8 with this great thread, now I was wondering, should I update to 3.10?

If yes will I lose NAV or it will still be enable?

I have a Edge 2013 North America.

Thanks to all !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Slingshot377:
I updated to 3.10 before beginning the process and was able to get navigation working on my 2013 Ford Escape.

I'm not sure if updating will break navigation for you, but if it does you should be able to re-activate it following the same steps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] focus-1910:
Rear camera installation now completed successfully. Power taken from fuse 29 in the rear fusebox using a piggy back fuse adaptor, earthed at an existing earth screw in the boot lid next to wiper motor. Video cable led through roof headlining, down passenger front pillar and under glovebox to the display unit. Video +ve to pin 14 and -ve to pin 15 in the APIM plug. Red, yellow and green distance lines didn't appear at first. Contacted the camera supplier, they said "cut the loop of white wire and distance lines will appear", and they did. Now works perfectly, display switches to rear camera as soon as reverse gear is selected. If anyone needs terminals for the APIM plug, I have another 98 of them spare, had to buy 100, only needed 2.

Nav not avaible

Hi, I succesfully enable Nav using PNG file and creating my own A7 sd card.

Everythimg was fine for thé last 3-4 months, and now since 2 days i have message nav not avaible.

Or when i click on navigation it returns to main screen.

I tried to remove and reinsert sd card works maybe 1 in 10 times.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
If it works intermittently by re-inserting the SD card, that sounds like either the SD card or the card reader is having an issue.

Try a different card?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rejeanc:
Works!

You were right, seems to be a problem with the sd card, I could not even copy content of card.

Created a new one, work right away this morning will see

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LETMT:
I had the exact same issue as #89. I have a Ford Flex. I'm on 3.10. I have an A8 SD card. I followed all the instructions at the front, including the optional nav download but it's the AF not the AG and I saw on here that the AG is what is needed for the 3.10. I sometimes get the "bad file" error message and sometimes I get no error message, but no matter what I do, the SD card is seemingly not being read because on the top right of my screen, I'm told to install the Navigation Card even when the card is in. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Were you able to install the additional nav files listed in the first post? I'm on 3.10 as well, and I get a bad files error when I try to install them. Nav shows up, but doesn't recognize my North American SD card as well. From what I've found there's possibly a different set of files we need vs the 3.8 guys that haven't been added to the first post.

Hello,

I would like to attempt the navigation enable process you have written up but I just did a vehicle report on my 2014 F150 FX4 and the Sync portal is showing my current Sync version as 3.7 and they say it is the latest.

You state in your instructions that I should be at 3.8.

Is it Ok to install V3.7 even if Ford is stating that my current V3.7 is the latest?

Thanks F1Rules.
