    Hi Stephen, start by posting a photo of the satnav unit you have in the car.

    If it is saying satnav no GPS then it has to have a Aerial input.

    Is the Map SD card fitted and is it working ?

    Sounds like you need to replace the APIM with the correct unit.

    If the car did have satnav before, then when you remove the APIM there must be an aerial cable just lying about that's not plugged in.

    It will not have the correct firmware for satnav so even if you were able to add the fakra socket it wouldn't help.

    You will need an APIM that is for satnav. Then you will have to use FORScan and update the replacment unit with the 'AsBuilt' file for your vehicle. FORScan can automatically download the original file for your car from the Ford servers.
