Hi @Bannko - you seem to be legendary in these parts 😀  Like others that have gone before me, I have recently purchased a 2016 Kuga that has Sync 2 with GPS enabled for assistance (shows as "Information" on home screen) but no Nav activated.  I'd be grateful for any advice / assistance as to how I can activate the nav. 

Many thanks

afternoon

help please...just aquired 2016 ford focus  titanium navigation with sync 2  advertised with satnav.. touchscreen with globe showing insert sd card....SD card came with car (europe f5 on card)

I cannot find any sd card insert point,,,,only usb point  looked in manual wihich indicates (if fitted) would be next to usb

so question is can is there even a sd card insert point and if not why would sd card come with car...i would love to make satnav live if possible

@banko the instructions to do it as asked for by many others would be great,,,(email)  i may be slow but it seems odd to me to issue a sd card without a slot to insert it

car was purchased as a complete surprise gift to me by elderly mother as a surprise and sales blurb i have seen set sat nav ..everything else with car is teriffic and satnav is not vital to my world but would be good to enable it if possible..

@NZ ENZ OF THE WORLD hi mate, your sync2 is a sat nav unit as you have there the text saying "insert sd card" and the SDcard slot is hidden in your armrest, over there you will find second USB port 😉

Good afternoon @Bannko recently bought a Kuga Titanium X that has Sync 2 with GPS but no sat nav. Could you send me the details on how to update to enable the sat nav, the car is on PCP so i was wondering if the its something extra that stays in the car or is it a once installed its hidden?

@Notsopro hi pal. After activation it will stay in car forever but there is a way how to hide it from the screen if you would like to do it later. Is that ok for you?

@Bannko

New to the forum and just bought a 2015 Mondeo without sat nav, it is the Sony sync 2 head unit. As others have said, may I trouble you for help with activating the sat nav option please?

@Bannko Revitalised my old account..... Trying to assist my brother getting SATNAV to work on his 16 Reg Focus Estate Titty-X which he has just purchased. We were both expecting it to have SATNAV as standard being top-of-the-range model (complete with full leather and £800 paint) ?!?

Could please let me have the secret knowledge to do this. Many thanks in advance

Hi @Bannko I have been to test drive a lovely 2016 Kuga today. Was all going well until salesman said it didnt have sat nav and his pal in salesroom said it couldnt be added. It has a sd card reader and USB connection plugs. It is Sync 2 at the moment. I am quite disappointed about it. I have only the free version of Forscan but have a writable ELM lead. Please could you PM me on how to enable Satnav please.....? Thanks in advance...

Hi @Bannko could you please email me instructions on getting Sat Nav to work for my parents car please, they aren't tech savvy like myself and have asked me to look into it a quick google lead me in your direction. According to the sales blurb the guy said they have to bring it in, so they can upgrade their entire system which I can imagine won't be cheap, I've told them non-sense I'll bet you, it's just a software lock out. I'm hoping you can help them save a bit of cash.

Their car is a Ford Kuga 2015, they have I believe the Sync 2 in it, it says Information System at the top right hand corner and they also have the elusive SD card slot.

Many thanks for the awesome work you do for other people, keep it up 😄

Hi,

 

Just wondering if the traffic information should also work after installing the navigation?  I've set it all up and working fine, but I've never seen a traffic alert - all settings are turned on for this.  Or do I need anything additional to get traffic working?

@mike6688 yes, traffic announcements are received via your radio unit (ACM module ) and it must support the TMC (traffic message center) function. As your car was not factory equipped with sat nav it is normal that your radio is without that function.

Anyway don't be sad, the traffic announcements in Sync2 are very poor and usually don't reflect current situation on the road. I have had only bad experience with them and started to ignore them. For traffic are always best online navigations unfortunately.

Hi, i've watched the videos on how to install nav on a sync 2 and have all the bits ready in my eBay basket, but is there anyone in north kent that has the equipment already and fancies earning some beer tokens?
