stuffedhaggis Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 you have 1.0 only updates are via ford dealer and it doesnt improve anything as such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffedhaggis Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thanks I assume I can upgrade to 1.1 via the adapter change. Thanks fornthe help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffedhaggis Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Oh ok . I was told the dash was 1.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil21185 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffedhaggis Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbleheed Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
