Hi all,

I have just bought a Focus (2014 Plate) Zetec 1.6 TDCI. I am having a few issues with Sync head set/ I am trying to figure how to update the thing. Looking at the ford site they say I have no updates. I asume I am running Sync 1.1 but I may be wrong. The unit looks like 1.1.

Here is the images from the Sys info screen

 

Does this look correct ?

 

If not any help or advice would help ?

 

you have 1.0  only updates are via ford dealer and it doesnt improve anything as such 

Thanks I assume I can upgrade to 1.1 via the adapter change. Thanks fornthe help.

No. Sync 1.1 is a completely different system with almost entirely different hardware.

Sync 1.1 has the full colour screen as well as a different APIM and Bluetooth module.

Oh ok . I was told the dash was 1.1.

sync1.1 is very simular. your thinking of sync 2. 

isn't what the OP has Sync 1 - basically the system after BT/VC?

Sync 1.1 has the 4" (or 5", I forget!) lcd screen rather than the dot matrix screen shown above.

I didn't mean Sync 2, and after upgrading from sync 1.1 to sync2, then onto sync 3 I honestly do know the difference, even if I can't explain it well!

Open to being corrected if wrong, but:

SYNC 1:

 

SYNC 1.1:

 

SYNC 2:

 

SYNC 3

 

ok, i see where your coming from. 

when i meant simular, sync1.0 module can be unplugged , a sync1.1 plugged in and a reconfigure and it works . ive never bothered doing it but a few on here have . 

but were are both right his is sync1.0 

mine is sync1.0 with 5in colour screen.

Ah didn't know sync 1 could have the colour screen! Yeah the parts are interchangeable easily enough, but it's not just a case of upgrading the software...

 

Edit: in that case, it must be possible to go straight to sync 2/3 from sync 1 with the same wiring changes as from sync 1.1, as the APIM screen and fascias all change anyway.

I guess it depends on what kind of screen is in the dash cluster....

I have manged to get a 2nd 1.1 unit. I have installed in and can safily say it does work. I am keen to see how I can update it tho. Its running version 5.8.

I’ve got a spare sync 1.1 module for a focus. I bought it for my old 2012 focus that had sync 1.0 but never got round to fitting it. I’ve since bought a newer focus with 2.0. 

What’s the going price for these things?
