Here's how you can enable navigation on your Ford/Lincoln with Sync 2. If you have Sync 2 but don't have navigation you can use this video to enable it. All you need is the Map Card and a $30 OBDII connector.
*** One thing I forgot to mention in the video is you'll need to run the NaviPatch wallpaper on your radio to make things work. Once that's complete you need to do a master reset on Sync 2***

A11 is the latest version
My navigation works flawless.
I'm now trying to link my Google maps to it from my phone.
I'll get there eventually, but any help is appreciated.
Hi DIY Reid,
I was wondering if there's anyway you could help me out... I can't see the APIM module in forscan. I have software at 3.10, nav app at 3.10 (although it doesn't show in the system information page), have the A10 memory card inserted, and I unlocked the wallpaper. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hello, thanks for this tutorial. Now, I am located in France - europe and i wanted to follow the steps but got sceptical when there are different versions of firmwares. Do you have any feedback about using these files for european vehicle ? Or anyone from the membres who tried this ? Thank you
- French Version -
Bonjour, est ce que quelqu'un habite en France voire en Europe a déja testé cette méthode et qui a bien marché ? Merci pour vos retours
Best regards,
@@ShadelessGhost Did you get it?
Thanks so much for these really comprehensive and clear guides. Despite some nervousness I was able to install the navigation by following the steps, without any problems. The dealer quoted £130 just to 'scope the issue' with no guarantees it would be the final bill, so finding these instructions and being able to follow them is fantastic. Very many thanks.
Super excited to make it work on my Ford Fusion 2013! The best video that provides so detailed description and necessary files. I watched this one in conjunction with another one which is more walkthrough. So happy to make it work without spending tons of money. Really appreciate it!
What vid gave a walk through?
I wanted to say thank you. I have owned a 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium AWD for about 6 years. Following your instructions I successfully downloaded and upgraded to version 3.08. I used ForScan to make the recommended changes and purchased the latest version of maps "A14", 2023 from Amazon for $19.99 plus tax and for the first time I have a working Sync Navigation system.
Thanks so much!
Nice!
Thanks for the video. I watched a couple of other videos for adding navigation to my 2013 Ford Explorer, but something was missing in those. You were the only one who mentioned the navigation app that had to be installed. In fact, it has to be installed before doing anything else. I know because I tried and didn't get it twice. Then I remembered the navigation app and that you had a link. If not for you, I'd still be sitting in my Explorer scratching my head. Thanks again.
Just got done enabling my Navigation. Hands down the best video I have seen on this process. Very good. Had a little issue with getting Forscan to work but I had to slow down and figure it out. All in all took me maybe 45 minutes to do everything. Give or take. Thanks for the awesome video.
I must say this is an easy install procedure, Followed the instructions and all worked fine. Took about 50 minutes start to finish including a battery monitor reset, (nothing to do with navigation just needed done while Forscan was connected) probably will take longer to learn how to use the thing. Thanks so much DIY REID for taking the time to make the video and allowing us the opportunity for this upgrade. Ford should be embarrassed for the price point at build time!!!! everything is in the thing to make it work except for the map card!!!!
Thanks again!!!
Chuck
what did you do with the navi patch? put it in wallpaper? Thanks
Yes. And tap unlock
This is excellent - my previously unusable glass panel in the dashboard now has a clock that works, phone connection that works properly now, and navigation that works (I thought navigation was not possible until I watched this video). I've probably also saved at least 3 or 4 hundred dollars by avoiding a dealer (my total costs were about $30 for the OBD connector and $35 for an A10 SD card). And now I can do basic diagnostics if needed, as well. Thank you, DIY Reid!!!!
They wanted $1200 up here in Canada because they insisted the Sync2 needs a "GPS capable APIM" despite me telling them it already had a GPS as I could see it displaying coordinates.
The Sync 3 needs a capable APIM. Sync 2 doesn’t.
I like the self diagnose myself.
I'm a retired automotive tech and adore this feature.
Worked perfectly in Europe on a Ford Mondeo (Same as Fusion). I had 3.08 already installed and just used your nav apps file along with the png at the end. Thanks
By far the best demo I've seen , thanks for sharing ! I was going to take my car to an audio shop to get this done for £100 but now its just 15£ for odb reader 👍
If you are just downloading Nav App 3.10, you are going to want to unzip from the files pop up window on windows. There’s a zipped file about five files deep so unzipping the original download only will not let you upload and give you an error when putting the Ford Maps card in. When you click on the file In the pop-up window there should be a unzip button towards the top of the taskbar. This will unzip all. Hope this helps avoid the frustration I had. All and all, THANK YOU. This works, just Make sure to uncompress your files and that all files were selected
Just tried it on a 2012 focus we got a week ago. Followed your instructions. Worked like a charm. Thank you. Saved me hundreds of dollars.
really? which version software do you have? and how was your screen options before of doing this?
Thank you DIY Reid. I got it working thanks to your earlier help on Sync versions that got me started. Everything worked and the navigation is sweet. II have a 14' Escape and I just ignored the 3.08 Sync and navigation stuff and went right for the 3.10. The A10 maps card worked fine with it. The one misunderstanding out there I think is that we don't just need to set the Navipatch as the background screen, we also need to go to select it and either tap or double tap it, or click on set as background one more time after making the FORscan mod. Then Sync 2 says "Nav Unlocked" and the compass final shrinks and it says insert navigation SD card on the upper right. It is a live and learn experience for us all. What tricked me was I installed the naviogation program 3 or 4 times and it did not show up on my list of installed programs like it did in your video. It must have been in there after the fist install but only showed after I did the Navipatch unlock. Thanks so much. This is so much better than the suction cup special!
KOT...did navigation work without it showing up in installed programs? I just got my SD card today, put it in, and nothing. Did another system reset, still nothing.... Should I do the Navipatch again? When I put the navigation s/w USB in, it says 'program already updated' or something to that affect.
Try Navi patch again and master reset
@@DIYReid Hi Reid... I tried that yesterday with no success. Considered trying to downgrade to 3.08 as somewhere I read enabling navigation wasn't possible with 3.10. But first tried to re-load the Nav S/W but SYNC kept saying 'already loaded....(woman's voice). Re-read all the comments here and many elsewhere, and loaded BT4T-14D546-EE.CAB, did master reset, then loaded EA5T-D546-AUA.CAB, EA5T-14D546-AV.CAB, & EA5T-14F657-AG.ZIP then another master reset. During this process watched 7 or so files load successfully. Insert map SD message was replaced by navigation, and all is well! Thank you very much for the video and continued support for those of us that need help.
The best video I found on the topic. Finally got navigation on my -'14 Edge!
Nice
@@DIYReid can i do that with the fordscan program on a macbook or do i need a windows computer
You’ll need windows.
actually i didn't even have to do that much forscan has a option now under that menu to enable navigation. Pretty cool.
Where was that option?
@@fazeone3658 did anyone find out
Just finished adding this to my 2013 Super Duty, and it worked great. Follow the steps in both videos, and it works without a hitch.
you said both videos, i didn't found another video
Just activated navigation with your files and following your video and it worked :). Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and publishing this video. I bought pre-owned vehicle and dealer told that vehicle never had navigation hence it would be expansive to have this feature. I was able to do it very easily and economically through your procedure. Thank you once again.
You’re welcome
are you supposed to extract all the files within the folder in the zip?
Will any sync updates from Ford, 3.10, require any additional modifications?
Just wanted to let you know that I finally got it all together, did my update, the Naviapp, the wallpaper, changed the code in the APIM, and voila. I have Navigation. I want to thank you and all so much for the help. It really works!
PS, I still have my SiriusXM account too.
You’re welcome.
Worked great! Nav showed up within a few seconds, everything works. Points of interest, favorites, voice commands, route guidance. Thanks!
Lance Donny how much was everything ?
What an awesome video guide! And an ever greater person! He took the time out of his day to help me with the issues I was having. Once again THANK YOU!!!
Huge thanks to this gentleman!! And thanks to the ForScan community!
You’re welcome.
This was great I spent money from a company and it didn’t work followed this video and I now have navigation on may car worked great just following his advice and it was so easy thank you diy Reid you help me loads
How much did you pay to have it done?
Just completed my activation. Had to get a temporary extended license but your video instructions are on point! Worked perfectly thank you very much! Wife happy now 😁
where do you get the extended license?
@@saraha5228 I went to the forscan website and it had an option for a temporary extended license that was free to use.
DIY Reid.. just finished the install on my 2014 Explorer. Worked flawlessly..thanks for the great video!
Thanks for watching.
@@DIYReid I keep getting an error message. One or more of the files .... Will not update.
Can you please, please explain to me where my fault lies ?
Which file?
@@DIYReid navigation apps for sync 2. 3.10. seems I need navigation apps.
I have the smaller globe and the " insert navi SD card "
@@joeyhume69 did you found solutions I have the same problem?
Thank you, this worked like a charm on my daughter's 2013 Escape. Only thing is you should add how to unlock the png file. We do appreciate your time.
Brian Blackburn png file?
Can you fix frozen touch screen using for scan?
I managed to successfully complete the process and ran across most of the problems listed. Started with the 4.3 version and learned it was actually older than the 3.10. Went to Ford website, registered car and found two versions of 3.10 (with and without NAVI) scratched my head over that one awhile but I suppose either would work. Unzipped file to thumb drive and it loaded as described. Loaded the NAVI app the same way. Had the patch on thumb drive and assumed it loaded but it did not.
Time for the FORSCAN process. Gotta sign up and wait for approval to get the two month trial to unlock program. Waited, registered, and changed second digit as described. Still no luck. Decided to start over but it said program already installed when thumb drive installed. Think there was a message about no space or file unreadable. The big secret was the NAVI Patch that had to load as wallpaper, unlock, play around and set as default, and then it finally changed and asked for the maps SD card.
Bottom line is that it was not a perfect execution but it did install and work exactly as promised. Thank you!
Greg Hill where did you find the NAVI app?
@@juxtamedullary I followed the links in DIY Reid video. Click the "show more" on his original comment and there is a list of the links needed.
Success! Since I was already on 3.08 I did not have to update SYNC
Step taken:
1. Installed Navigation app via USB stick - The files need to be in the root directory on your USB stick
2. Used Forscan to change bit to enable navigation (follow instruction in video)
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.
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.
what exact adapter did you use? and did you use pc or android? thanks.
I personally recommend this one. - amzn.to/2C3kRNA it’s the one I know works as I used the exact one.
@@innspiron I used my old Bluetooth adaptor. It's so old it doesn't even have the label on it anymore lol. You have to use a Windows PC. The Forescan Android app cannot make changes.
what files do i need to move to the usb? For Navigation app Thanks
FatBoyEats What type of car do you have?
I installed the navigation and it works. However, I have
problems because voice navigation is not working properly. It mixes yards and
miles with each other, always telling the wrong distances. The information on
the screen is correct. Any idea how to solve the problem?
Great tutorial. Thank you for speaking clearly and concisely and not using background music that drowns everything out.
Didn't think anything was working till the very end then everything worked after master reset. Thanks sir.
Hi just waiting for the elm 27 can I do the.navi patch and navigation upload to the car as I'm already on 3.10 or do I have to do theyas you did.
You’ll have to install the nav app for 3.10
DIY Reid hi ,
I have already updated my sync now I'm on 3.10 ! How can I install navigation to my Ford Escape 2015 ?
I'm have already downloaded the nav app 3.10 put it on a usb and once in my car plug the usb after 2mn that day installation complete ! But still don't have the navigation at the top right of the screen can you tell me step by step what to do ! I only updated my sync so far which is 3.10
Did you install the 3.10 nav app?
DIY Reid yes I did , I put it on a usb plug it in my car after 2mn installation complete. Is that mean it's installed ?
I go to the help screen and my ccpu s/w version shows 4.30.13171_product and no navigation I changed the 0 to a 4 in forscan and nothing changed and when I try to do the software update it says make sure the file is in the root directory it’s the only thing on there
You have to update to 3.08 or 3.10
Worked! 2013 Ford F150 Lariat… keep the maps SD card in the slot.
Yup. It reads it
Thank you so much for this video. I had done a sync update off the ford website and lost my navigation! your software for the nav apps got it back for me! Ford was going to charge me $100 bucks at a minimum to fix it! Thanks a million
One thing I forgot to mention in the video is you'll need to run the NaviPatch wallpaper on your radio to make things work. Once that's complete you need to do a master reset on Sync 2
I've installed the nav 3.08 but after the install it's not there even after master resetting it. I've done like 10x I dont understand what I'm doing wrong. I was able to upgrade to the 3.08 software with no issues just can't get the nav3.08 to install
max hyppolite is you used my link to upgrade to 3.08 it comes with Nav App. You don’t need to use that.
@@DIYReid yes I did use you link. After upgrading I went settings>help>system information and I saw the new 3.08 software there but no nav was installed. I will send you a picture of my screen on Instagram
Ok. Did you do the navipatch wallpaper?
@@DIYReid hi DIY reid, am having the exact same problem, i've plugged in my USB with the navapp 3.08 and it performed its installation but it only toke 10 minutes to install and it was not showing on the system information page, do i have to still keep my USB still connected for 30 minutes or am i doing something wrong?
How do I install the nav update into the car? I downloaded it from your links including the nav patch on my usb but the car says file not found when I plug in. your help would be appreciated.
Got it to work shortly after
Reapplied the PNG and it opened right up
I’m having the same problem I’m very confused with this process
Having same issue
Followed to a T and it worked. Make sure everything is updated like he says. Then go to ford and get your updates for Snyc and Nav. Then make sure to apply for forscan extended licenses (very important). When you get email add license to forscan through about section and bang it will work.
Worked like a charm. Had to spend 10 for a forscan license because could not get it to work with the free version. You can run the nav patch.png and master reboot before forscan just a FYI.
Hi !
Today i unlocked navigation on my explorer 2011 with sync 2. Thank you so much. All i need is a sd card. Im from switzerland so i need a card for europe. Do you know which card i need? Just one from official ford dealer?
Thx^^ but do you know qich sd card i need? Just f7 europe west from ford? Or ar there any issues?
Ok so step one is upgrade sync if needed, install navigation software, run the Nav wallpaper, then use forscan and change that code and finally do the Master reset?
jose castrejon you got it. You can change the code at any point through.
@@DIYReid how to install navigation software
What part are you stuck on or not understanding?
can use for focus 2015 sync2 mft>??
now mine version sync 4.32.if update to version 3.10 do i lost any signal radio or etc live asian
I went through the process and it worked great, the only difference is that the address is not displayed below the compass. The system has the correct location on the map, I was able to establish home, etc. All appears to be fine, except for missing address. Thanks!
Have you driven the vehicle yet? Sometimes it displays nothing if you’re in your driveway or garage.
DIY Reid when I drove it, the streets appeared. The next question is how to get navigation to appear on the right hand screen on the instrument cluster. It says compass now. There has to be a way to change that too. 😁
Thank you very much DIY Reid.
Your video was very helpful.
I did exactly as you described and put the files on a USB drive, then put it in my car, and waited till the installation was completed...
After that I put in my new Maps SD
AND IT WORKS!! 👍
Never thought it was that easy.
It has been updated now from A3 to A11, so I’ll be good for a long time.
Thanks again for helping me out.
Greets Hans.
You’re welcome
What all files are needed? Looking to do this on a 2013 Escape and not sure if I only need to download certain files or all of them?
Hi, would this work with 4.32? (CCPU SW Version). Thanks
No. You need to upgrade to 3.08 or 3.10
@@DIYReid Thanks for your reply, how can I do that? (sorry if my question sounds stupid:))
@@hossamrefaey7960 You download the update in the description and put it on a thumb drive and put it in the USB port on your vehicle and it'll update it.
Wouldn’t the 4.32 version be newer then the 3.08
No.
HOLY $H1T MAN YOU ARE THE BEST THANK YOU SO MUCH
You’re welcome.
I now have Navigation after following your instructions. Thanks DIY Reid!!!!
You’re welcome.
just updated to Navigation , once i read the direction fully it took all of 10 minutes, Thanks for a good video and instruction.....
Glad it was able to help you.
Hello, im sorry about maybe stupid question, but if i understand right - it has to be version 3.08 or 3.10 ? Other version newer versions wont work ? Thank you
Correct
Wha should I do when I did all the steps now instead Informacion on top right corner now shows insert Nav sd cars, but you touch it nothing happens, I insert the sd card A11, the system does not read the SD card. ! ? What should I do ?
Did you do a master reset after you see the Insert SD Card ??
@@davidbloomberg9494 yes! I did. But still says insert nav sdcard
Might be it doesn't like your SD Card, or your SD Card reader might be damaged ?
@@davidbloomberg9494 I thought so too. I replace the Sd card. I get a A10. Instead A11. Still the same. I will check the sd port maybe is dirty or damage
What year / model ??
YOU SIR ARE THE MAN. Only trouble i had was installing the system root to usb but it was quite easy after a bit of research. thank you so much.
Hi, thanks for all the information, the link for 3.10 update it's not working can you please fix it?
i know its a log shot. I installed the 3.10 version. Then got information in top right corner instead of navigation. was able to add navi patch. still showed information. ran forscan and it already had a 4 in the second slot.. decided to do master reset on ford, now says insert sd card. insert card a8 and a10 both do not read. I am not sure what to do next.
I've updated to 3.10, run the Forscan mod, but haven't been able to get the navigation app to successfully install. I've tried a few times and keep getting to "installation complete" but the navigation app doesn't appear on my app list. I've done a master reset. I looked through the navigation app, it doesn't appear to be VIN specific. This seems to be a hard stop for me completing the update. Any suggestions?
quick update-- just went for it anyway, appears to work even if the navigation app doesn't show up! Thanks-- great video!
Great information! Upgraded to 3.10 and it even worked with the A4 SD card that came with the truck. Thought I was going to have to buy an A7 or newer but nope! Much thanks!

How should the files be downloaded onto the drives ? i extracted files then sent to usb .
@@DIYReid I figured it out . Renamed drives sync , and extracted straight to drives . Took about 30 minutes total for everything , now have Navigation . Thanks for posting the video
Works great on my Kuga in the Uk. I installed 3.10 from a separate link. Then I used your 3.10 nav app install. Changed the settings in forscan. Ran the NAVipatch from your link and master reset. Bought a F7 sd card from eBay and all works perfectly. Thanks 😊
hey luke,
Did you do it in that exact order? nav app install > forscan > navi patch > master reset? also how did you run navi patch? did you put both the app install and navipatch on the same drive?
cheers bud!
omar Al hagin yes in that order. The install and patch must be separate. I put the 3.10 upgrade on first. Then formatted the usb stick and did the nav app. Then forscan detail change. Then format usb again and add patch.png and finally master reset. The patch has to be added through wallpaper in display settings. Go into wallpaper and press add. It will add from your usb, then go back and press unlock. It’s wrote in blue on wallpaper screen. Will then say unlocked. Do the reset and it will ask for your map SD card to be inserted.
Perfect mate! Cheers I appreciate that!
Did you have software version 4.32? Mine says so and some people are saying that is 3.7 but I don't know to be honest.. I have a 2015 focus titanium
4.32 is actually the oldest and the nav won’t work with that. You need to upgrade to either 3.8 or 3.10. My 2015 Kuga came with 4.32 and I upgraded straight to 3.10
This worked perfectly on my 2105 F-350! I just bought it and THOUGHT it had Nav, but was gravely disappointed. THEN I found these instructions and followed them to the T. Thank you so much! 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it worked for you.
What ss card did u buy, I personally have a 2014 but idk if I should but the A9 or which map🤷🏽♂️?
A9 or A10. Whichever you can afford.
As advertised, thank you for the upload, saved me a good chunk of money.
You’re a genius! Great video. Easy to do and worked perfectly as described in the video. Love the Forscan tool.

Not working here. Updated to 3.10, did a master reset for posterity, installed Nav App for 3.10, install reported successful, loaded the NaviPatch wallpaper and activated once installed. Purchased FORscan and went through the process of installing. I did note that my MKX for 7D0-01-02 had 8001 4000 029D instead of 0009 0004 9077? I went ahead and tried 8401... and it gave me a check sum error. Nothing came up as far as a small compass. I went into the system to check to see if the system showed the Nav App installed and I couldn't find it. Tried reinstalling the Nav App and it reports successful. Check the system, not there. Tried NaviPatch wallpaper again, nothing. HELP, please.
I was able to get it working. Thanks for all of your help and the awesome video with the instructions.
Glad it helped.
Worked excellent on my Ford Kuga 2016 my code in forscan was different but matched yours and switched on no problem, picked up SD Card great work :)
Thanks so much, it all ended up working for me!
Glad you got it working
Thank you worked good the only question I have is I tried to install navi software and it won't do it any ideas it says something about not enough space or one file not downloaded
I have the same issue did you get it sorted out ?
@@joecanadian76 yes I did there is a video before this one that explains it much better
Holy crap! Thank you sir. Took all of 45 minutes including the update for sync. I have Navigation!!
Yay!
What Are the steps for installing the navi app?
Great video!! Got Navigation in my 2013 F150 today following your video. Thanks!!!
OK just ordered the ELM & A10 Map card - hopefully I can do this tomorrow!!!
Sweet. Let me know if you run into issues.
@@DIYReid it works!!!! WOOT WOOT!!! I'm stoked.
Already had 3.08 so left that. Installed Nav app and then nav.png. Got the reader and edited APIM. Inserted A10 card and BINGO!
It works right now and I didn't do a master reset - Do you think I should?
Thank YOU!!!
@@RDHouston62 how did you install nav app ? tried cant get it. i have 3.10 will i still be able to do this? Thanks
@@dirtfishingpaul3634 I've not tried working with 3.10, my system already had 3.08 so I just installed the 3.08 nav app and carried on from there.
When you say it doesn't work, can you expand on that a bit? The software didn't load or loads but doesn't run?
I Finally Got It Working. Thank You For All Your Help. I also found out I have a bad card lol. I'll get a new one. Thanks Carl
I linked one in my description
@@DIYReid
I think my card is bad so I have another one coming. Thanks again for all your help. Carl
thankyou for your help just installed nav in my 2014 explorer. thanks again for your help
You’re welcome.
Hi just got a 16 plate kuga and have to do this to have navigation. Where is the nav application as I have everything else to complete job...Fantastic video by the way!
i have a 2013 i just bought what is NaviPatch wallpaper also on the elm what should the switch be on hs-can or ms-can ?
Hi I downloaded the forscan in My laptop in connect the cable under the dashboard is you requested but I don't get any communication between the cable and my laptop
Is there a new link for the Sync 2 3.10 Update. The mega file says it is no longer available. Thanks
2014 Fiesta - clicked on APIM and it tells me I need a license to do that. What could cause that?
Terry Stryker you have to have a forscan license. It’s easy and free. Go to the website on how to do it.
What specific file am i putting on the flash drive? I open the Sync update folder and theres like 28 of them in there. Thanks!!
Andrew Fitzgerald whatever was in the main zip. All contents how they are.
I followed all the steps. it the i icon,,,,, it asks to add the navi sdcard, but still does not work.
Do I need to report the software update in the myfrord website?
Also, It will not update the sirius xm (sirius xm system failure) anymore, so that doesn't work. any feedback would be appreciated.
Great video, great information. You left out a couple of steps, but for the most part, your video gave me about 85% of the information I needed to get my navigation working on my Sync 2 system. Had some issues downloading, unzipping and installing navigation software. The link for the 3.10 navigation software downloads software that does not work. Maybe it's an old link. I had to find the correct software in an Ecoboost chat room. Navipatch would have been nice to see on video. ELM device and Forscan worked perfectly. My SD card came in the mail today and everything works perfectly. Thanks! Liked and subscribed!!
What map sd card did you use? I also had the same problem with the download but believe I fixed it .. but cannot get my system to see my A10 sd card. Do you happen to have the link to the nav software you used?
Where did you get your Map Card?
@@DIYReid Directly from HERE - the Ford navi provider. My system is sync 3.10 and I used your 3.10 navi download and it appeared to install correctly. I then ran the patch and master reset. It appears navi is installed b/c I have the small compass and can adjust navi settings ... but the insert sd card message remains. When I first did it I even got the popup telling me to insert the card .. I did .. and nothing. Also - on my system screen it does not list navi software.?
@@DIYReid Also -- I am doing this on a 2014 Ford Escape Titanium.
Have you done a master reset?
Will this work if I use all the same steps but with FORScan Lite for IOS (MacBook)?
I bought an A7 sd card off eBay. It’s a little older but works perfectly. Couldn’t beat the price either.
Yup. A7 through A9 works great.
Thank you very much for the video DIY Reid! Helped out a lot!
Sir how do u install first navigation app in case it is not shown in the system with same version 3.08
I recently came across your video and got an OBD 2 adaptor. I followed the shown steps on Forscan but the big compass kept returning after the screen reboots, with the 'Information' at the top right corner . I have a 2015 Ford Focus, the navigation stopped working after I updated the SYNC 2. Any new development out there?
Hi I don't have the navigation application on mines. I have a 2014 Ford Taurus sel. I did the navigation link you have it said it installed but it's nothing there.
Hi,
Any use in upgrading the Sync2 System Software fully from 3.08 to 3.10 ?
I got the 3.10 update file from Ford Online Support. Just wondering if anything useful is obtained from the update ??
Here are the release notes for 3.10
The new [3.10] software update for SYNC with MyFord Touch systems includes all the improvements from previous updates, plus additional changes to accommodate new and updated customer devices, such as:
Hazard switch illuminates on Focus / Escape with ignition off and park lamps on
Next Track / Previous Track controls from SYNC touchscreen
SYNC Maintaining Repeat / Shuffle settings that were set on the device side
Compatibility updates for the latest phone and media devices
Thank you for posting those notes. After reading thru those notes about the 3.1 update, I think I'll leave things be now with the Nav working so nicely.
Probably best
Its saying sd card error for me
Reid, I"m having trouble getting the Nav app to download. Every time I try to get it downloaded, it does not show up on the systems page on the screen. It shows I have sync 3.08 but does not show "Nav app" Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I may have been using a ELM327 adapter not recommended by Forscan (I will get a recommended one, but after editing the APIM module and sync restarting, it never switched over to navigation), I did it 3 times, same result. I am sure I did something wrong
Are you on proper version and did you do the wallpaper hack
@DIY Reid I had just gotten to the part in the video where you changed the apim code and rebooted sync, at that point yours changed from information to navigation. Mine did not. I am getting a forscan approved obd adapter, I was getting an compatibility error message from the one you used and linked to. Forscans site said they are no longer endorsing elm 327 adapters, too many bad ones out there they said. When I get that adapter I will try again
@@DIYReid just did the wallpaper hack, got the screen to tell me to insert a sd card, i did, waited a long time, nothing.
Master reset?
latest update. i got the forscan approved elm adatper, switched the apim code, system rebooted, still comes up "insert nav sd card" instead of "navigation". i then did the wallpaper hack, it showed my navigation unlocked. I inserted a brand new a13 nav card in the slot, waited a bit, nothing. i did a master reset, got back in, inserted the sd card back in, went to the sirius travel link menu, and promptly got told my sd card is bad. this is the 2nd sd card i have bought during this ordeal, i have no idea what i am doing wrong. im tempted to just set sync back to information and forget about having navigation.
Having a hard time installing Nav App, Keeps saying files not found in root directory
You are not unzipping the file and transferring it properly. I would recommend Googling a how to Transfer a zip file to a thumb drive for your appropriate windows version. I used this tutorial for windows ten, ua-cam.com/video/hrMQh0Xkpvs/v-deo.html Make sure you clear the drive and properly Format the thumb drive first.
Can you use this tool to enable Active Parking on the 2013 Lincoln MKZ too.
Hey there, got it all installed and have a A13 SD card, and in the top right it says insert NAV SD card, so I plug it in, and it says after a while it comes up with a error message, what should i do?
