Very nice I stumbled onto this thread. We have a 2015 Explorer without NAV. We compromised when we bought it (used). My wife wanted NAV but the Explorer she fell in love with didn't have it. She liked it so much she wanted it anyway. If I could get it enabled on her Explorer I'd gain so many husband points. I have an A7 NAV card in my 2016 Fusion so that should work. I've done a lot of rooting etc. in my Android phones. How does this compare in complexity? And is there a way to revert back to stock in case something happens? Thanks

EDIT- I've noticed that the OBD adaptor used in videos on YT have a switch. I have a BT OBD adaptor but it doesn't have the switch. I confirmed that it will talk to the Forscan Android app so I assume it will talk to Windows via BT. I just dont want to have to buy another adaptor if I don't have to.

EDIT - Success!

Step taken:

1. Installed Navigation app via USB stick - The files need to be in the root directory and your USB stick should look like this:

[IMG="USB Root"]https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.corvetteforum.com-vbulletin/1593x452/80-nav_app_root_directory_look_33889a874559557fd65ac5de6a2609d48fa18cc0.jpg[/IMG]

2. Used Forscan to change bit to enable navigation (follow instruction in this thread)

3. Unlocked Navipatch.png file - after this the information screen was still enabled in the top right and there was no i in the bottom middle of the screen where the home and settings buttons are and the compass on the display was still big

4. Performed a master reset and that fixed the screen to show navigation in the top right corner with the small compass and the i where the home button is.

5. Inserted maps SD card, in my case it's the A7 map versions. After a minute or so my address showed up in the navigation quadrant of the display. Touched navigation and the map showed up. Took her for a spin around the block and it followed my route perfectly. Got to the end of the street and entered (voice command) my home address and it navigated me to my driveway.

One thing that I need to research is on my 2016 Fusion that came equipped with NAV from the factory the right instrument cluster has a navigation menu and when enabled shows the next turn information next to the speedo. Anyone know how to enable this as it's probably not in the APIM module. I've only read through about half of this thread so I may have not seen this info or missed it.

BTW - I used my OBDII bluetooth adapter without HS/MS can switch and was able to change the proper bit in the APIM module. I'm sure if I do some more mods in the future this may be a problem but for now I'm good to go with my BT adapter.

Thanks to everyone that made this possible. My wife is a happy camper. Now she has her dream SUV all except for the sunroof................I do have a saws-all lol.

Yes, thank you work nice with 3.10 Version for escape 2015 with sync 2 without nav :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lew616:
Thanks to the OP! Worked like a dream on my 2015 Ford Fiesta ST with MyTouchFord Sync2. i stumbled on an even easier path than described here. in ForScan, if you read the APIM line that DOES NOT say "AS BUILT AS" there is a line that says "Navigation" click on that and you get a dialog box with 2 choices "Enable" or "Disable". i ran with it, installed the NavPatch, then the System Update, and done. i already owned a OBDLink MX and a Windows tablet, so no cost there. just have to order my Map Card off Amazon since i haven't been able to locate one to clone.

Lincoln MKC 2016 - NAV enabled with the below method , No sd slot

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi , First thanks a lot for this post it was very helpful and i managed to unlock the navi option on my lincoln mkc sync 2 , but unfortunately i cannot find sd slot on this car even though in entertainment fields it says there is sd card option.

Is there a way i can run the navigation through usb or usb sd card reader. If yes where can i download the map from for Middle east (Dubai , Bahrain). Kindly help. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theandies:
So a problem has cropped up since enabling Nav on my wife's 2015 Explorer Limited. She says it works fine until she goes off route like stopping at a gas station or something like that. After that the little car icon on the display is not centered and the voice command lady keeps telling her to turn etc. trying to get back on route. Anyone have a clue on a fix? This problem pretty much makes navigation useless at that point.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RedDen18:
Navigation maps are not related to navigation activation itself. Any navigation maps versions starting A4 are going to work as well as future updates, unless Ford completely changes navigation application for SYNC 2 (and did it once only in 2012), which is unlikely considering that SYNC 2 is now obsolete.

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

It might be related to GPS module firmware in vehicle, Ford even issued TSB for that, vehicle not able to lock in the position, but given hand-made activated navigation Ford wont even bother to update it.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theandies:
Can I do this through Forscan or any other way? Is there a way to find out what version the GPSM is on? I see it's mainly for vehicles built on or before 1/6/2014. Since our Explorer is a 2015 model year I don't think it applies to us but I'd like to make sure. I can't get it to do what my wife says its doing just messing with NAV around town and e I haven't taken it on a long trip.

I have updated to Sync 2 v3.10. I installed the NAV_APP 3.10 and have unlocked the PNG file, but I do not see the Navigation Application under System Settings. I also did a Master Reset, but still don't see it under System Settings.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oscarj2m:
You need Change the asbuilt data, the easiest is using forscan and a good ELM327.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stevemphillips:
Success!

I did this procedure and got it working. I had missed the master reset initially. I got a card off ebay that arrived a couple of days ago and voila!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] garywojdan81:
Just wondering how this was resolved. I just bought a 2015 edge and enabled nav today. So far, everything works but I'm wondering how it turned out for you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sckalive:
Just left it stock and we had to get a second key so Ford could sync the keys back to the suv

HELP!!!

On my 2015 F15- XLT, I followed these instruction and was stuck with the navigation saying something to the effect of "insert a nav SD card". I then realized that I needed to download the NAVI related files "NAV_APP" and put them on the the flash drive.

As I was installing them in the truck, the battery in the truck died. When I jumped and charged the battery the screen came up with the navigation, however the radio and phone won't work. When I click on the phone, it says that bluetooth is turned off, which I select to turn it on, and it does nothing. When I click on the tuner/entertainment button, it shows AM/FM/CD/and SIRIUS but I cannot select anything, it doesn't show a station number, and it is stuck on one station. I have tired the master reset and that doesn't help, I have tried to reload the the NAV_APP files, however I get an error message saying installation failed.

I think my build is 4.28 or something similar. I am thinking about trying to change it back to V3.8 with the Gen2v38build15128updatepackageNARev2 and then trying to load the NAV_APP again.

Has anyone seen this before? Any thoughts? If i do this will i get my radio and bluetooth phone back? Do I need to check something in ForSCAN?

Thanks

Version 3.08 is newer than 4.38 and you need at least 3.08 to enable Navigation. Version 3.10 is the latest.

sync2 froze

2014 f250 sync2 mt updated to 3.10. went thru changes to apm, Nav says insert sd card. which I've done A-10/ attempted install of nav files kept saying "bad file". after numerous formatting re-download, reinstall attempts, my syn froze and said bad file.

Now radio is stuck on sirius sample channel, cant change to fm or anything else. climate shows off, yet physical buttons work. phone says "turn on bluetooth?" I hit yes, it goes back to asking again. I've done master reset, pulled sync fuse for 20 min. still nothing.. any clues on how to revert back? or unstick it? Thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alx911er:
Many many thanx

Many many thanx to *rioachim for his help today. System fixed, updated and working Nav.. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jkimrey:
Any help would be greatly appreciated:

- Ford Focus 2012 (no native navigation)

- Performed 3.10 upgrade downloaded from Ford website

- Changed 7D0-01-02 first two numbers from 00 to 04. (Note - no reboot happened)

- Clicked on png file - "navi activated" message.

- Inserted A10 maps SD Card.

I still see nothing regarding navigation however. Why steps am I missing?

I tried a system reset and clicked on png again (same navi activated message) but nothing else happened.

TIA
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
You're missing the -AG navigation update. Search this forum for the files that I have posted.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jkimrey:
Thanks for the help - I found the file you previously posted and installed it.

It seemed to have installed successfully (no error messages) but there was no change.

I then tried a master reset (I saw mention of others having to do this) but as of now it's stuck on a black screen.

Usually when that happens if I wait several hours and try again the screen will come back.

Any other suggestions? If the navigation were to work, would I access it via the top right menu (where the compass has previously been)?

Thanks.

FORD EDGE 2011 completed update but Sync 2 MyTouch missing functions

Can anyone share the zip file used to downgrade from 3.10 to 3.08. I recently tried to upgrade my sync 2 and now I`m stuck with some feature missing.

From sync I can`t control Audio, Bluetooth, Heat, Time will not save, Compass not showing anything.

Form the steering wheel everything is working.

Tried to upload the file again and I get the message " You have already updates your software successfully.Please remove the USB"

and then " Installation failed. The installation has run out of space or does not work with this version "

If anyone has a solution to this issue, your help will be really appreciated.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zukaa0:
Hi guys,

I have a Ford Focus 2015, with no navigation. I have followed the steps to enable it and somehow can't get it to work. I am from Europe.

What I have done:

1. Successfully updated my Sync2 from version 4.32.14073_PRODUCT to version 3.10.16180.EA.0_PRODUCT using intallation files from Gen2v310build16180updatepackageEULangpack5.zip

2. Successfully Changing APIM values for 7D0-01-02 from 00 to 04.

3. Unlocking or activating NAV with NaviPathc.png (opening the .png as the wallpaper from USB and pressing unlock on the picture in the preview so it shows "Unlocked" but not setting it as wallpaper at the end).

At the end of everything the final result is that I get the "Insert the SD" in the upper right corner of the screen. When I inserted my SD card (made it also by myself) for the first time when I was prompted, nothing happened. After the first time I was never prompted for SD card anymore, only the message in the upper right corner is still there. Even if I do master resets.

Also, under "System information" there is no info of MAPS version nor navigation version/license. Lets say that I have a faulty SDcard, the navigation version/license should be there or am I wrong?

I think I did master resets after each step, but I am not sure anymore, because I have tried it many times now. The only thing that I haven't tried yet is downgrading to version 3.8, as I saw some folks here do it after having problems with 3.10. But I have no clue how to do it, since I found only autoinstall.lts for NA version, but not for Europe.

I would really appreciate some help.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I also installed the AG update for 3.10...I did this several times + the png + master reset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zukaa0:
Is there really no one that can help? At least how to make downgrade from 3.10 to 3.8 for European versions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
Copy and paste the install file at the bottom of this page in Notepad https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic....35&hilit=lenko and then put it on a USB stick with a EU version of sync 3.08 and install to your vehicle. It will take you back to 3.08. I did the same thing when I installed my first 3.10 and it turned out to be a European Version. Tedi_k on this site showed me how to go back and I've gone back and forth 3 times - it works. Others on this site and Forscan have used it successfully.

For 3.10, did you use Riochim's Navigation AG? Other sources don't seem to work well. For the Navipatch you have to go to the display screen where the png file shows and touch the screen to activate it. When you made your SD card did you format it with FAT32?

Read this page, especially albitek's post which explains well what you need to do and follow the steps closely. https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6235&start=130

Ford Nav help

So I just recently ordered a Ford A10 map sdcard from ebay (OEM version) and while I'm waiting for it to arrive, I followed instructions to enable navigation on my Sync 2 and everything seems to have worked except when I goto settings>help>software, I dont see a navigation version but in the top right corner it does say "insert nav SD card". Do i need to wait until I receive the SD card? I was under the assumption that I needed to see navigation version first. I did install the nav files, am I missing something??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
So far I don't believe you are missing something. Wait till you get the sd card. Once inserted navigation should show up and and it should also signify Maps version A10 in settings-help-software and navigation version AG 5.67.6 should show up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zukaa0:
Thanks for the reply. Finally I figured, with help of Riochim that the problem was with SD card. I created it once again and it worked.

I also thought that the navigation version will be visible once you go through installation process. But this is not the case. Navigation version, together with maps version, shows after you insert a valid SD card with maps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_ford:
Hi

how did you resolve the problem? I’m dealing with the same problem as you.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lenko1:
Read the bottom of the post above yours regarding the need for an sd navigation card. You can't have navigation without the card.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rioachim:
Yes, the sd-card is bad
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] menardsy:
I successfully enabled navigation. However, a couple of days later, I lost all communication with mysync. Tried to re authenticate with the 24 hours procedure but the car no longer communicate... :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cnewman402:
This worked. I did with my car on because it was cold and dark outside. I had to connect a few times to the vehicle before I actually got a connection. I used an ELM 327 that I bought of ebay a few years ago. Default Bluetooth password for that one was 1234. You got 60 seconds after initialization to pair to it. A7 maps also worked for me. I didn't go name brand on the SDCard. I grabbed a high capacity class 10 emtec from Walgreens to test it, because my SanDisk Ultra is being used for a drone right now. The SanDisk was Plan B. I also found out that if you run FORScan in administrator mode it changes your hardware ID breaking your extended licensing. I didnt even bother skipping the optional nav installs, I just went ahead and installed them. I think it reboots 3 or 4 times after you push those 'optional' cab installs. That is all I experienced. I went and got some tacos to test the accuracy. Im not sure why everyone *****es about the quality it seemed fine for me. Cant beat a free99 price point. As soon as I can find a decent mirror I would like to package everything you need and seed it. Anyone know of a good seed host that is free?

Sync Version

I am new to this. I have looked at many forum's for an answer with no luck. I have a 2015 ford Taurus limited without nav and would like to add it, but the first step in this guide is to check Sync version. I checked the ford owners site and it said I am up to date as of June 2015. with sync2 ver3.7. From what I have read this my be incorrect. I am not signed up for syncmyride or sirus. How can i verify my version and or upgrade it to 3.8

Thanks for any help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cnewman402:
It said I was up to date as well but installed the 3.8 binaries anyways. Ive had 0 problems.

Touch on Navigator...

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!
