I have 2014 explorer that I updated to 3.08 installed nav files and did .png file. I changed apim to 04 and did master reset. Top corner says insert nav sd card and have i on bottom of screen. I insert a8 card and it will say navigation loading then back to insert nav card.

Do I need to try the process again? Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shantzy:
Thanks to All!

Just wanted to say, I have read through this thread from start to finish several times, followed many of the links to external sites and educated myself on the NAV update as thoroughly as I could. I successfully updated a 2016 Ford Explorer. There is some contradiction within the many links I reviewed, but despite the body style changing on the 2016 Explorer, it continued to use Sync 2 with the Type 2 IPC cluster. It wasn't until 2017 that the Explorer updated to Sync 3.

I ordered a modified ELM327 off of Amazon--it unfortunately came un-modified. I was able to buy a switch at a local shop, damn near went cross-eyed doing it, but managed to solder it and the required wires to read both HS-CAN and MS-CAN. In the end, I really only needed HS-CAN to modify the APIM, but wasn't sure if I needed to modify the IPC to get the turn by turn instructions duplicated in the instrument cluster (no modification was necessary in the IPC). The procedure detailed at the very start of this thread worked great. I did use the files that user rioachim just posted on post #243 (thanks!!!), where I had the choice to use the AF or the AG version for 3.08 or 3.10 (mine was 3.08). The only slightly ambiguous part was adding the .png as wallpaper and tapping the button shown in the preview, but not actually saving it as wallpaper.

I did not have to complete any master resets, turn by turn shows up on the 8" display as well as the cluster, and voice navigation works flawlessly. A big thank you to all the users here who have contributed to this thread, it was a fun little project that has made the Mrs. very happy.

Sync version 3.10 compatability

Greetings,

Can anyone advise if this method is compatible with the newest Sync version (3.10)? I just bought a used Ford Explorer and would like to unlock the Navigation in Sync, but it looks like this was based off of 3.08 Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shantzy:
Yes should work just fine with 3.10. If you look a few posts previous, roachim provided the following link with the latest update files for both 3.08 and 3.10 systems.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tribe21:
The first link in post 937 are the "optional" files. They are the nav related files you need to make it work. The download in the link will have 3.08 "optional" files and 3.10 "optional" files, used the one you need for your version. Here is the link for post 937 again.

Question

Did the compass go away when you inserted your card? This is where I stand currently until my card comes in...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shantzy:
When the navigation is fully installed, and you insert your card, your main Sync screen will still show the compass in the top right, but it will say navigation. Under the compass the name of the actual road you are driving on will be displayed. When you touch the compass or anywhere in the top right, navigation will open full screen where you can select your destination and start your route. When you are actively running a route, I believe only then will the map display in the top right corner of the main Sync screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaddioLV:
Got my card, inserted it, and to my surprise, it worked ha...Thanks for the info.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] torskeye:
Did this on my Focus -15

I got the navigation working. But when I'm in the home screen it still says Information top right corner and only a compass i shown.

When i press information the navigation starts.

I never get "Insert nav card".

The navigation voice says distance in miles but screen shows meters.

And now the climate shows temp in fahrenheit and I can't change it to celsius.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shantzy:
I am by no means an expert at this--managed to get it to work in my vehicle though. I believe the "Information" vs "Navigation" heading is based on the .png portion of the update where you go to the Wallpaper settings. It's a little ambiguous, but you have to make sure you press the blue button shown in the preview on your MFT display. From the original post it's steps 12-14:

12. Put the png file that you downloaded earlier on to a USB flash drive and plug it into the USB port in your car.

13. In MyFord Touch, go to settings -> display, and find the setting for changing the wallpaper (I forget exactly what it's called).

14. Click on Add, and select your USB drive. Highlight the png file, and in the preview box, you should see a blue button that says "enable nav" or something like that. Press it, and you should see "nav enabled" appear above it.

Note - You just want to press the blue button, you don't actually want to save the .png as wallpaper!

Hope this helps with the display--not sure about the voice directions being in meters vs miles.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
Did you change something else with FORScan (such as Nav In Motion)?

Could also try a Master Reset. If it says 'Information' but Nav is working, something seems incomplete.

It works perfect now. After the car been off for some hours.

It just needed a good old restart :good:

Optional File

Thanks for the directions for adding Nav to my Sync 2 Ford.

I have a question about the following comment:

"Someone just told me that their car wouldn't read their map card until they installed the package that I labeled optional, so it might be worth a shot if you didn't use it and you're having issues. Again, that package is specific to North America, so if you need a different region, you'll have to find it yourself unless some helpful reader wants to provide a link, and I'll post it here.."

There is no mention of an optional file other than the edit you made. I understand that you might have taken that comment out of the original message. Just so I'm clear on this before I begin the process to add NAV, Could you please clarify what that optional file was?

Thank you! :)

F6 SD Card Not reading

Hey guys

I followed everything but apart from the last part where the USB wouldn't read the files so I did a master reset and it now just says insert the SD card. I put in my Europe F6 and it says the card is not valid and won't read it.

Can anyone help?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mustang2016:
I tried this but it didn't work, it came up saying "Bad installation file, one of more of the files being installed did not install successfully.

To the person who PM'ed me: You either have PMs turned off or you are not allowed to receive PMs. Either way, I cannot reply.

As for the SD card questions on here, it is totally possible to make your own.

But I've never used the FordActivator APK to do so.

There are really only 5 steps to getting Nav working:

1. Update Sync to 3.08 or 3.10

2. FORScan APIM mod.

3. NaviPatch PNG.

4. Install Sync nav package 'AF' (3.08) or 'AG' (3.10) for your region.

5. Insert SD card.

Pretty sure I've used the same 5 steps on every car that I've done.

2015 Ford Explorer Nav

I have a 2015 Explorer limited. I updated 3.7 to 3.8 I made the change 7d0-01-02 that was recommended. I applied the nav patch. And the Navigation is running. Thanks you. My question is are you still supposed to see the compass on your dash ? Also I have sirius xm has anyone gotten the siriusxm traffic subscription working or was I supposed to make a change to enable it on the radio?

Thanks for the help !

X1driver
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] COMpulse:
To enable Nav on the dash, you may need to find a mod for the IPC module through FORScan.

Sirius traffic involves convincing someone at Sirius to enable it on the account. The radio is marked in their system as not supporting Nav / Traffic.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Coffeejoe:
Probably a bad nav card. In any case,when I installed the extra nav package at the end I also got an error message as well. I had already put in the SD nav card (S8) before the update. I then removed the SD card and re-inserted the USB stick with the extra nav files again. It then loaded and the update worked this time. I then installed the SD S8 card and all worked fine. I don't know if having the SD nav card inserted at the time of upgrade caused the error or not but it's working now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Coffeejoe:
After upgrading to Nav, questions/concerns.

First of all, thank you for finding out how to enable Nav. What a great addition to my and everyone's vehicle that didn't have it!

Some facts and questions afterwards.

I know the official stance of Ford is that if your vehicle was not equipped with Nav when bought new, they can't (or will not) update your system to have Nav. This is what I was told from Ford when I inquired about it before I added it via the method described on this thread. If anyone knows anything different, feel free to add comments.

SiriusXM will not enable "Traffic" to your Nav system as the VIN says you don't have Nav. SiriusXM will not just "enable" it if it's not enabled per your VIN of your car. Again, if anyone knows anything different, feel free to add comments.

A remaining question is what if you take your vehicle in to a Ford service center and they discover that Nav is enabled and realize it wasn't initially enabled. Will that void any remaining warranty of the vehicle?

If the above topics have already been addressed, I apologize for adding the clutter. If anyone has additional information regarding the above, I (and I think others) would appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Tom

Clock sets wrong after adding nav

Now my clock is an hour off when I use GPS to set time. It seems it is not adjusting to daylight saving time. I can't find any daylight saving time selection in any of the menus. Anyone know how to fix this?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Coffeejoe:
Thanks, I found some other info as well. Apparently there is a newer update (might be for only Sync 3 systems) which enables the ability to select/deselect DST. In any case, it's only a minor irritation.

Also, my Nav works great too. I love this update. It's scary doing mods like this as you never know what the unknown repercussions might be or what mistakes might happen that could brick it, but everything went fairly smoothly for me. I made a couple minor mistakes but was able to recover.

I really like the Nav voice instructions as they turn down the music automatically when given. Your cell phone won't do that (unless streaming music from your cell phone I guess). :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CHA05 R31GN5:
I was under the impression that GPS used UTC time that's broadcasted to the receiver which the software that's logging this information must account for any DST per the time zone and region used. I don't believe some regions in particular time zones use DST because it's a legislative regulation of time. So, most likely, you're observing the correct GPS UTC time without a DST adjustment. I was a bit befuddled by this problem because on my Lincoln not having a DST setting that many other Ford owners have referenced in posts. But, I do have an auto time zone on/off feature which I would believe is responsible for this adjustment. However, mine does not make any change to the GPS time displayed for my location whether turned on or off. I thought this may have been corrected with an update to SYNC and during the update, it did correctly show the time but it reverted back to the GPS standard time which is off by an hour. I even have performed an MFT reset, along with, a full system electrical discharge by removing the battery terminals, jumper the positive and negative cable leads together and turning on headlamps for 30 minutes. *WARNING This will reset any of the adaptive memory configurations which are learned and stored in your PCM for engine timing and transmission gear selection back to factory defaults. Either way, I'll be scheduling a time to take my vehicle in for a recall notice and will reference this problem with the time to determine if they can search for anything that may be covered by a TSB. I have came across this particular TSB for the APIM that was extended to 5 years for certain Ford/Lincoln models.

https://ford.oemdtc.com/1745/12m02-...-software-and-hardware-2011-2014-ford-lincoln

I'm curious. Can any Ford owners confirm if they have the DST setting or if there vehicle lists "Auto Time Zone" and each of these have the same function?

Update: I decided to RTFM and found this posted in the clock settings for SYNC 2. "Note: If the vehicle travels across time zones, the clock will adjust so that it is correct wherever it is. However, it does not take Daylight Saving Time into account."

I'm looking to upgrade a buddy to enable NAV and he's currently on v3.5.. Ford says he's up to date on the owner website.. Is there a problem going to 3.8?

Wondering if there is a hardware limitation of going to anything above 3.5 since Ford says he's up to date?

My truck is on 3.6 and Ford says it is up to date... Just makes me wonder why they don't offer the latest if there is an update available...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Coffeejoe:
Mine only says "Auto Time Zone", nothing about DST setting. Too bad not everyone can change to DST manually other than just changing the clock and de-select automatic clock time. Wonder if there is another update that adds that?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CHA05 R31GN5:
I can't say for certain about if all Ford/Lincoln vehicles but this is in the manual concerning SYNC (Generation 2) systems. So, this most likely implies all Ford/Lincoln vehicles. Ford/Lincoln vehicles with SYNC (Generation 3) may have the software to adjust for DST. Anyways, I doubt they're going to update for adding this feature because of the extent that they would need to apply DST to so many regions just in the United States. There aren't many countries that even recognize or have regulations governing DST. Anyways, I'll consider this particular issue for my vehicle resolved and functioning as the manufacturer intended.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

I can understand that the information pertaining to if you can update is not concise in the threads. I've not performed the steps to enable navigation on a vehicle's APIM firmware. I can only suggest that from my research because of wanting to update to 3.10, that all NA Ford/Lincoln vehicles with SYNC (Generation 2) can be updated to 3.8. Even though, Ford/Lincoln has seemed to stop supplying this update on their support site to customers and requiring them to visit an authorized maintenance shop to update via the same method. The official link is posted in the threads and other forums under the file name "Gen2v38build15128updatepackageNARev2.zip". The autoinstall.lst file has the previous SYNC software versions that you can cross-reference to your vehicle installed version.

2014 F-150 FX4 Nav UPgrade

Hi All,

I bought a used Ford F-150 with the FX4 package with 54,000 miles on it (North America). For whatever reason, that package doesnt include the navigation with the MyFord Touch system. You would think it would since the FX4 is an off road package.

Anyway...

I followed the steps in the OP's 1st post step by step. It worked like a charm! :D Now I have Navigation. Several moments when the screen went blank and the radio turned off for about 30 seconds did make me a little weary. :eek: After it turned back on and I saw 'Insert Nav Card' in the upper right corner, I knew it was good to go.

I bought a USB OBD-ELM327 Diagnostic Scanner ($17.00 US) and A8 North America Navigation Map SD Card from eBay ($40.00 - lowest auto accepted offer).

Thank you to all that did the leg work over the years and made it very easy to do!

Ok when I connect forscan to my 2013 Lincoln MKZ and go to the APIM my numbers are 7DO-01-02 800B 0001 80E6 All the videos I have viewed the first two numbers in the first field are 00 as you can see above my first two numbers in first field are 80. Would it be a good idea to change the second number in first field to a 4 and leave the first number an 8 and see what happens I am assuming if that doesn't work I can revert the 4 back to a 0 and all sould be ok ?

Adding Nav won't change anything regarding your seats.

The post you quoted was about adding 'Nav In Motion' (the ability to enter an address into the Nav while the vehicle is moving). The person making the change didn't understand that they were changing the region-code for the vehicle to a region where Sirius travel functions aren't available.

Worst case, back up your AsBuilt config before proceeding.

Intelligent access and push to start not working

After looking though all the pages on this thread I hoping someone can help. Long story short after I get navigation enabled on my 2015 Ford edge. The next morning intelligent access and push to start didn't work anymore. I can still use the buttons on the fob to lock and unlock the car but it won't unlock when I grad the door handle.
