code11235 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi all I've been following the guide here to fit sat nav to my 2012 Fiesta: https://www.fordownersclub.com/tutorials/article/346-retro-fit-sat-nav-to-fiesta-mk75/ I've got all of the parts ready to go, but I've hit a problem with the central configuration in Forscan. The guide says to: Open Forscan, go to Central Configuration, change to engineering mode, and change the options below: Touchscreen - 06. MFD 5 Navigation System - For EU The problem is, under my touchscreen options, there are only 3, and none of them are MFD 5 (see picture!). I guess this is because my car is pre-facelift. Is there anything I can do, and will it still work without this option? Any advice much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_T Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I never changed the touchscreen option and mine works without any issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code11235 Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 Thanks, that's interesting, maybe I just need to go ahead and fit the hardware and see what happens. Do you get the correct warnings on screen if you leave a door open etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_T Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I don't get any warnings at all. Navigation system was never intended to be fitted to pre face lift vehicles so I guess the module cannot communicate with later hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennington Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hmmm, I too only have 3 options. My LCD display does not light up when I plug it in - there is no backlight and the lights behind the fascia button do not light up either. I'm thinking this "Touchscreen" parameter needs to be altered for me, it however needs to be changed to "MFD high" or something - not "MFD 5" - I am trying to install the LCD below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_T Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Have you also changed the head unit and facia panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I plug the new LCD and fascia in with my old head unit installed, the stereo won't even turn on... If I plug the new LCD and fascia in with the new head unit, the stereo turns on (AUX does not work, possibly due to incompatible SYNC module, I have the BTVC module, pre -SYNC 1.0) but the LCD has no backlight...

Nick_T Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The screen you have pictured is not a sat-nav LCD, what options have you changed in ForScan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Not sat nav screen and the screen is for a much later fiesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the screen I have isn't the 5 inch Sat Nav screen but must require one of the extra options in the Touchscreen PID. (Probably "Colour MFD 4"?) I've been fiddling around with the following PIDs in the Central Configuration: In Car Entertainment: Changed from "High Level CD (single) and AM/FM radio" to "High Level CD and AM/FM radio Branded" bluetooth handsfree: Changed from "BT/VC Phone Interface + USB Connection" to "BT/VC + Info + Navigation" Digital Radio Receiver: Changed from "Without Digital Radio System" to "DAB Radio System with PTY EU and ROW" None of this has helped in anyway - nothing changed in terms of display brightness and functionality.... In fact - I've been talking about my issue here: I'm starting to think my car has an incompatible wiring loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_T Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I think the screen has to be matched with the head unit..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the new head unit that came with the LCD screen does not match? New head unit label can be seen in below image: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not compatable as far as im aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_T Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I have a head unit and Sat nav screen from a 2015 Fiesta in my 2008 Fiesta, it all works. Later Fiesta screens should work without issue in early cars.

The physical aspects of upgrading are the same, but the looms and plugs are different. Make sure you get a PFL system to ensure the plugs and light colours are compatible with your car.

Nick_T Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 PFL = Pre Face Lift You won't find a sat nav system to fit a PFL car as they did not manufacture one to my knowledge. You need to find out how many plugs are on the back of your head unit before commencing on a retro fit. It is possible to fit a nav system from a newer vehicle as I have done in my 2008 car without issues, it will be easier if you have a single black 24 pin plug in your car, it should do as I think they were introduced around 2010> in the Fiesta.
