The PNG is actually a SWF file.

Sync loads it and executes some commands to change some licensing values to True.

I've decompiled it before. Even modified and recompiled trying to enable video in motion. But I don't know enough to achieve anything.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BitingChaos:
I thought the SWF files had to be signed to run.

I still wonder about its origin. Is it from Ford? I've only been able to trace it to Russian forums.

Is it possible to load any SWF file just by giving it a PNG/JPG extension?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
The images loaded through the wallpaper loader aren't checked for a signature since they are supposed to be PNGs / images.

Yes, you can load any SWF, within reason. The part of the Sync system that loads the wallpaper has a maximum file size. I think it was like 200kb.

If I recall correctly, the NaviPatch PNG is a compressed SWF file (SWC format).

I'm not a pro at shockwave. First I found an app to decompress it back to SWF format. Then I used some other app to decompile and let me modify the code.

I can post more info tomorrow. I'm away from all my stuff today.

Issues With Navigation

I followed all of these steps and the top right corner keeps saying insert sd card. I purchased one off eBay its a A9 chip and it will not stop saying SD card fault. I tried going over the steps again and nothing is working. I noticed my time is in European zone while i am in New York time zone and my sync for my bluetooth phone connection won't connect. also my cppu is 4xxxxx not 3.8 not sure if thats the issue. I have a 2015 ford fusion. Id appreciate if anyone is able to help me get this fixed!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
Update to 3.8 (it’s on the first page of the guide you followed), perform a master reset and see after that.

Is there a way to run exe files using with this method or may be a way to reach win interface? It seems like they have found a way to install 3rd party apps to MFT.

It looks like someone used the same method as the navipatch, but used it to install something from USB.

I did some googling, but my work blocks most of the sites. Will search a bit more this weekend.

Hey guys,

I'm a bit confused, reading through all of the different threads talking about enabling nav. Will this process work on a newer car with Sync 3? Do I need to do anything differently?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kamilien:
Simply no. Sync 3 with nav have hardware differences. You need an APIM module with nav.

Hi. I have got 2016 Ford Focus with Sync2. That is EU modell. System version: 3.08.15128.EA.10.

I changed APIM Navigation configuration with ForScan, and i activated navi with png background file. I have got F6 files and SD card. I made sdcard key file with android phone, but sync2 doesn't see... It said "insert nav sd card". I think i must install nav related files. Can i install this pack, that it is 1. Post? That compatible eu and us version? Or just us version? ( https://mega.nz/#!DVwQXYQD!BnXXpR9XuhE7ZQPIjM7ODM0SYepJCSawR3q1Ps2XT_s )

Or can anyone send me eu version? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kamilien:
You should install AF version of app. You can find it here. After installing it, a master reset might needed.

enable navigation on sync2 v4.32.14073

Hi, I've got an 2015 Ford C-Max with Sync2. It is an EU modell. System says it is version 4.32.14073_PRODUCT

Has anyone done the procedure with that version?

What steps do I have to jump over?

Is the mentioned file (EA5T-14F657-AF) the right one for version 4.32?

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kamilien:
You should better update it to 3.08 at least first.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poidl78:
Hi, thank you for your fast answer. Do you mean, that I have to downgrade the software to version 3.08? Or is my version 4.32 not higher / newer than 3.08? I'm a bit confused. :confused: Where can I get the right update for EU-version?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kamilien:
4.32 actually refers to ver. 3.7.11, and 3.08 refers to 3.8. So 3.08 is newer. You can check all versions here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyFord_Touch

You should install proper language and region files of 3.08. You can find them in this topic with a little search imao.

3.8 update

[where did you find thread for this update? thanks, chuck

QUOTE=cschlik;70953146]Thanks to the OP for this Guide. I have a 2014 Focus Titanium that we purchased new without nav. I too had 3.7 installed and the owner page was telling me my system was up to date. I used a link found in a different thread to update to 3.8 and the nav activation went off without a hitch.

I have a slightly OT question.

I own a 2015 Navigator with MLT and navigation already enabled. It is running 3.7 also and the owner page states that it is up to date. Are the install files the same across Lincoln and Ford? IE if I flash the firmware with the same one I used on my Focus will it allow the upgrade or is there a different set of update files for Lincoln? If so, does someone have a link to the files?

Thanks in advance. I have been lurking around here for years and have benefited greatly (rooting kindles and such).

Take Care![/QUOTE]
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] The.kid:
Been lurking on this site for quite some. I too would like to know if an A9 cad will work with 3.08 or 3.10.

I have read because of the growing Navi card filesize it because unrecognizable thus the firmware upgrade. I bought a Navi equipped APIM w/A6 card before I found these forums. It works for a short time then asked for. New SD card. Figured either a card going bad ( gets hot before failing) or corrupted firmware.

At any rate. I’m going to do this flash mod to my original APIM because the swapped APIM will not read a A9 card.

Following.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poidl78:
Hi, I did the update to v3.08, edited the APIM bit, installed the nav-related-files AF 5.67.6 and patched with the png, did a master reboot and inserted F7 sdcard. Everything is fine and working so far. :D The only thing is, that the speech commands from the navi are in english. Where can I change the language to german? Do I have to install some other file? Did I install the wrong region files or is that related to the F7 sd-card?

Many thanks in advance

I solved the problem by changing the language to english and than back to german and now everything is in german (written and spoken).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] UnixKorn:
I have a 2015 Fusion Titanium. Did the change the bit with Forscan, updated to 3.08 and then installed the Nav updates. did a master boot and found the Navigation up in the upper right quadrant and the Info (i) at bottom next to home button. I did the unlock with png file but after placing a purchased A9 card, I had no response to it. I tried pulling batter cable. (no luck) retried the entire process again and now I am getting a error that says the Nav_App update (some say is optional), cannot install because it is bad or the sync is out of space. Anyone see this error ? this scenario ! Thanks for all of the great info on this forum.. I also redownload the Nav_app.zip and extracted to root of new usb stick 16gig. Still no luck. I am sounding desperate and probably am doing something wrong, but have been pricing the 4DTech replacement module for 699.00 I would gladly pay something reasonable to anyone who can help me get these scripts and process working so I do not need to tear down the console. Give me a number for good tech skills. I am not a noobie, just new at this and I am reading everything I can find. Love this forum.

Maps have to be bought for if you MIT Grad and know how to add what system looking for. I bought mine, now version A9... Works great I wish I had the brains the guys here do...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Otisrhw:
Has anyone done this on 3.10 I have tried everything I have nav enabled on APIM and IPC but not reading my card, I tried the png and two links of extra nav files but nav files fail to install

Maybe it's the 3.10 update, bad card or wrong nav files.

Thanks in advance for any help you give!!!

I have the same issue. I’ve enabled more than 20 vehicles using update files v3.08 with no problems. Only in two cars (Ford Fiesta 2015 and Ford Edge 2011) running software version 3.10 was not posible reading the C6 maps card. I got nav enabled but they are not reading sd card and remain requesting navigation card. The optional nav files are not working and shows an error. If you have a different link, please let us know to solve the reading problem.

Solved for me

Download this:

https://mega.nz/#!xtQBCRhY!g4x3KVBFncz0MGraP0i_dNP6uS-M3s4RhTv85JsjozA

Extract sync_nav

Open and find 3.10 folder copy/move files in folder

Syncmyride and auto install to USB Thumb drive (this is not full 3.10 update its a patch)

I also did the same with the files in the interrogator folder and I actually did the interrogator folder first.

I don't really know what this does but this works for me and I live in the Northeastern USA, I have an A9 map card. As soon as I installed the files in the 3.10 folder my navigation started reading my card after reboot

THANK YOU

I just did this today December 6, 2018 on our 2013 F150. I couldn't believe it didn't come with navigation....we bought it a month ago. I asked the dealership if it was a software or head unit thing.....they said head unit. Well, I wasn't replacing the unit. And I found others online selling apims for 700-800 dollars. No thank you lol.

Your instructions were the best I have found!!!

I did not do a master reset.....I followed each and every step.

PERFECT!!!!! Thank you again!!!

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

I forgot to mention. I had already upgraded to 3.10 via ford.com and bought the A9 maps on ebay........ so if anyone is wondering, that works.

Hi, I have a 2016 ford kuga UK I followed the instructions closely and I don't receive the (i) on the home screen after the png file. I also don't see the png preview i only have the option to set this as a wallpaper which i did. I have also tried to install the nav files and shown. Car still showing as information system not insert sd card. Any ideas on why this hasn't worked?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
I thought 2016 Kuga had Sync 3?

This hack is for Sync 2.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadoe:
this is the fix for 3.10 difficulies!

Doing the forscan stuff was easy, that unlocked the hardware to do it's thing. The software is where they get you! I tried several other downloads and many attempts to get the nav going. after reading several threads and weeding out the old ones, this information is spot on. The big difference being the specific file for 3.10. Anyone who is going through the frustration of "insert nav sd card" who sees this should read original post thoroughly and follow the instructions. That easy! Thank you for your post and information!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] toto2310:
Hi everyone,

I have a Ford Focus 2015 - Europe version with Sync2 without Navigation. I've been reading this thread and I'd like to make a summary of what I've understood in order to know if someone could confirm to me the procedure will be correct:

- I have FORSCAN 2.3.18 (beta) with Extended License

- I will buy ELM327 OBD2 adapter in Amazon during next days

- png file downloaded from first post of this thread

- MyFord Touch system software is 3.8 >> I do not need to update , right?

- NAV related files from the first post because those are the correct ones for 3.8 >> Is that correct? Or I need to download other files for Europe version?

- Optional Files: I have downloaded the optional files from the next post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72196212&postcount=937. I think these optional files are related to 3.10 version, so, do I have to install these files previous to make first post steps?

Regarding the steps, I think the first post is clear to me... the main doubts I have are related to the optional files and in which step are these files needed and the correct version of the files for Europe.

Thank you in advance for any help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dirkomatic:
Thanks for the guide. So much easier than I thought it would be.... I now have navigation in my 2015 Fusion which has version 3.10 installed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kolterp:
Warning !!! Okay, I've got my nav up and running. but not without first getting stuck in a loop while trying to install the Optional files. My system did not come up with the Master reset, so I had to install the optional files. I put them on the Thumb drive and started the install but when the unit restarted the first time and started installing the second set of files, I received an error and the unit would not reset or let me do anything. FIX... I had to edit the "autoinstall.lst" file this can be done in notepad on your desktop.

I tried several things until this finally worked.

Original file--- Quick note: I had to change the first line to get it to even try installing in the first place. to "ALL" you will see that in the second posting of the code.

the key for me was to omit the zip file that was hanging the system.

I could not find enough info on commands for windows automotive operating system lst files to simply end the install and continue on. I tricked the system into installing the same file twice and that worked. (Yes I tried just removing the second half of the install 3 and 4 but that did not seem to work.) just watch the screen if you have the same issue and omit the file that hangs via the above method. with just one zip file installed my nav works grate and it is the version 9 so it has all the latest updates. I paid $75 on amazon and it came in a sealed envelope with factory ford sticker on it, real not real??? works and was way cheaper than the ford site.

Thanks...

Your method should not be considered a fix, you probably just used the wrong version files. It's fine that it works, no harm is done to the system.

Confirmed working as of 4/19/19

Worked on my 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE (With a slight change)

I followed the instructions, but hit a snag with step #9. Step #9 notes to change the first two numbers from "00" to "04". I tried this, and completed the rest of the steps, and it did not unlock navigation for me. For my car, the first two numbers were "20". Since the instructions suggest just changing the second number from a "0" to a "4", I did that, making my first two numbers "24". This DID unlock navigation for me once I completed the other steps.

I purchased an "A8" navigation card from amazon. The seller said that the card would not work in a vehicle that did not have navigation enabled by default by the manufacturer, but it worked nonetheless.

Thank you so much to OP. Give this a try. Navigation works great!
