I have a 2024 Focus and being away from Ford for a number of years I'm finding the different numbers etc quite confusing.

On the screen, 'About Sync' says I'm currently on 23191_PRODUCT, revision 946

The ford website says I'm on Sync version 4.0.23152.

Would someone be kind enough to help me decode this and let me know if I'm actually up to date please?

 

Thanks all

Thanks for the info! Is the update to the modem something that will eventually just happen or is it something a dealer would need to do for me?

For reference, the Sync screen says there are no updates for the vehicle.

 

Have you activated your modem with the ford pass connect app 🤔

Yes, I can see the car on the app and start the engine/unlock the doors etc

So i noticed that some focus from this year are getting a new instrumet cluster Animations/views similar to the mew Puma.

Are those coming to the "old" focus ir justo new hardware? It would be awesome to have them on the focus

I’ve just taken delivery of the new focus with the new animations.

From my understanding, they won’t be coming to the previous cars as the updates over the air, only update Sync 4 and a few bits. 

You could ask the dealer or write to Ford, but it may be no possible to update

The new Ford manual Ford the Ford focus advises cars built after a specific date, should come with the new animations.

The numbers refer to the date of Revision. i.e. 23191 is the 191st day of 2023.  You're far from up to date unfortunately, and Ford would indicate you need to do ALL UPDATES in sequence.  You, like me, have missed about 3/4 updates. Mine is currently a warranty job & Ford are having issues with vehicles failing OTA updates which may be linked to the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module)

Thats sad, if there is no hardware limitation, it could be delivered via OTA.

I Will ask Ford, but Im Portugal they dont awnser anything usable 

I just had a look in the new manual to see what the new cluster is like, and I noticed this: There's no info about the Intelligent Adaptive Speed Control. You can find it in the older manuals, and it's also in my car's manual.

I guess they deleted it because it wasn't working? It's still not working in my car…

Just wondering...

It could be great if they updated the cluster, but they may *uck other things up

what do you think the feature you believe you have does?
what makes you believe your specific car was built with that feature / can you prove it was built at the factory with that feature enabled?

a) are we talking adaptive cruise ?
B) or adaptive cruise with road sign slow my car down so it won't go properly, regardless of my set-point ?

 

if the later option B) is everything up to date and the country gives a toss that they do their paperwork...  I can image all these points need to be just right for the car to manage or it reverts to set-point and manages speed to that or the gap in front...

signs show the correct limits,
there's sufficient signage on many roads for it to maintain the operation of the feature,
the location and type of sign is within the std Ford accepts is normal, 
the actual limits posted are not muddled vs other data it knows about - e.g. I guess nav mapping needs to validate things too,
other factors like camera calibration isn't muddled and or LHD / RHD headlamps set back to front
car software fully up to date and validated by a grown up - if there's ever been a dealership that provides this
the country isn't a total muddle up 

which mkt / country of origin is the manual for that's no longer offering the feature - it could well be its been removed as an option (that was previously available) within a certain mkt because the country's road network doesn't support the feature adequately and have informed Ford they aren't going to sort it out, or Ford got fed up fielding impossible to resolve owner requests...

if any of those are questionable, I'm guessing its to be expected - as Ford can't do magic

I think it does what it's name says. It adapts your speed to both the car in front AND to the speed signs.

My car was built with this, as it appears in the order form, in the user's guide and in SYNC settings.

They're Spanish market manuals, but that's not the case. This feature is legal, and many other cars have it too, including those with level 2 or higher autonomous driving. The Focus is at level 1.

Let's not forget that this car is a facelifted 2018 Focus, so it's been a couple of years that his features have been tested and approved in this car.

When they sold it to me, this car had it. Then, when I told them it wasn't working, they said my car didn't have it. They even said no Focus has it. Now, they've accepted that my car does have it and are "trying" to solve the problem.

Oh, trust me I've learnt this very well on my own. They've told me more than once I'm being fussy and silly, but as time goes on, magically, they accept there were problems and that they are already solving them, so....

I don't think (unless its shows as a user setting, or Ford technical suggested it as they know it helps) that changing from std settings would be a good idea

I would try and check other Spanish sites to see if most users find theirs operates well in Spain

Is it a LHD car set to be driving on the Right ?  Or RHD set to be driving on the right in, if the later I wouldn't be surprised to know that Ford had no idea how to get the car configured to cope

I would want to check I had a Ford OEM windscreen and then know a grown up had calibrated the front camera (that looks at road signs) and double check the car is set to the be driving on the side of the road its expecting..

I never questioned  its legality - although if it reads Road signs, it can't only be level 1 ? It maybe as usual they jumped at the idea all this automation was easy - but in the real world its not, and so either diminished capability (hence why its missing in later manuals), or certain markets have now lost the feature (as their road network is behind the curve).  Either way I would get the manual and read it whilst trying to set the car up to std (whilst noting) the madness it was already set too

And as a first step - if the joke garage that's been wasting your time doesn't even know about the feature, then argues Focuses never had it - I'd work out where the best Ford dealership was within 50 to 100 mile range and go see them for all possible software updates and system / camera calibration....  Coz you can't trust that dealer to do any work of this nature, and everything they claim to have done is most likely a lie and they did nothing other than a quick road test and decided you are too awkward to bother with

I also think that way, but that's exactly what Ford technical told them to do, just to try... Is not the first time Ford technical suggests things to try on my car.

It is a LHD car driving on the right and I assume Ford knows how to do that. I can't undo that change because it has to be made through diagnosis.

Everything in my car is OEM, at least it should. I's a new car, bought directl from a Ford dealer, no mileage, and the camera has also been changed, as the Ford technical told them to a year or so ago.

That could be interesting, but if even Ford technicals can't figure out what's happening I don't think they'll be able to.

They offered to buy the car back from me if I keep unsatisfied and I think this is the best option I have.

I know. It's level 1 because it cannot do anything on its own (change lanes, merge...) I think. Maybe someone could say It's level 2 because it can park by itself?

Anyway, the thing is that other Ford models have this feature, even the Fiesta and the Puma, and if it does work as it shoud on those, why not in mine? And if it doesn't why don't they say that and stop selling cars telling people that feature is available? Because it is in the manuals, it is in the extras and is even advertised on their website...

Just yesterday, the head of the mechanics (I think) told me this feature is very comfortable for long road trips...

I've read the manual from start to finish, and they have too, at least the exceptions to how the features work, so they can say it's okay.

About the changes, I can't undo them because it has to be made through diagnosis, it's not up to me.

if its LHD and driving on the right - its more likely to be correct re road signs and camera calibration (as its all Europeans doing it wrong - they have killed off all the good UK guys that made all the great Fords - GT40, Mexico, RS Capri etc.).  So I wouldn't change it - BUT it ought to flip to the other side like any good car should - when you toggle headlamps over for those time when you drive in countries where we have the wheel on the correct side

Re Level 1 - but it does do things on its own - it reads road signs and decides to change set speed (or not - in this case)

Ford tinkering with that setting is interesting - that would suggest it does attempt some cross ref of Nav speed limits ? - but was that a guess or an expert making recco change ?

Ring Ford and ask why the feature is missing in later manual and if its a mkt specific change ?

What happens if you cover the camera (temporarily) and go for a drive - no feature - or no speed limit adjustment ?

 

If it works on other models - then it should be hardware or software bugs and or calibration issues they could likely fix on a Focus - UNLESS screen reflections / camera position on a Focus is the real driver and hence why Focuses no longer have it (forums must give a clue?)

If its a fault ONLY on your specific car- that would likely again drive one towards a Hardware or Software bug, and or calibration issue...   maybe something was never plugged in - in which case it ought to give info in diagnostics....

Try another car and ideally sneak along Forscan and grab info of its modules and software then compare to yours... for the price of a days rental I'd do it

I think I misunderstood you. By LHD I thought you meant where my wheel is. My car is a European one (wrong side stearing and driving😜). So my car is (should be) well calibrated, It's not a wrong side steering (L) on the right side or the opposite.

The one suggesting the change it's supposed to be an expert, but at this point I don't really know if there're any experts at Ford.

I could try asking, and also covering the camera, but I think It'll appear an error message saying it must be cleaned. 

I will try and tell here

Everything you say has already been checked. The system, the modules, the camera, APIM, IPM... and the diagnosis showed nothing.

Then some errors came up, but still no clue.

I've driven other Fords from the dealer when I was getting my car "checked", but I don't know if I'll be able to again. Last time they paid me an Enterprise rental car, so...

If I have the chance I'll try to do it.

yes but do you know this - or they plugged it in - had a tea - unplugged and told you they updated stuff ? its exceptionally rare dealers ever update a car - we have everyone stuck in the "it was working when I bought it so why bother game" when they should all be in the "oh my god its still on the original deathware with more bugs than it was actually possible to code"

Forscan will tell you if there are updates - I wouldn't just do them yourself at this stage - especially as in the middle of argument with dealers and ford - but it will give a clue if they are liars ( I expect so)

Had another thought about Nav Mapping and whether you'd ever include a cross reference to its idea of Speed Limits... it would be utterly ridiculous not to have fall back to Nav speed limits - what happens if the car can't see a sign due to:

dirty signs,
weird reflections,
night,
bad weather,
vandalised signs,
stolen signs,
etc.

So either

Multiple nags and making a variable feast of random driver assistance - making things less safe so ENCAP smack their bum (so Ford wouldn't go there)
Or they'd have to expect a customer to regularly have no cruise - which would be extremely offensive!

So lets pretend the system was built by a grown up - thus it could know where all the signs are and it could say to itself - I should have seen a sign, obviously missed, I’ll revert to Nav limits.... which then brings the fun of Councils changing the stupid posted limit - and then we fall into the massive stumbling block of most mapping runs 18 months behind reality

its slowly getting quicker but tomtom update their Maps 3 times a year and electric charging stations every month - whereas car manu tends to load 2 years old stuff at build, then take 18 months to bother to add a road that was there 5 years ago - so I can imagine they have no real idea about speed limits anywhere

 

 

Your writing style makes me think you are British living in Spain, which might add another curve ball they may have forgotten to think about

if a user toggled the main speed display units to something other than the current country of use - did the manu forget, and can this cause the car to be looking at the posted limits suing the wrong units of speed ? they should have worked around that but I wouldn't put it passed people to forget

It can come about depending upon speedo capability - some cars can be set to have the main speedo set to whichever units of speed you want - and you have the secondary digit display showing the other units in the background.  

Its often nicer to have the correct numbers in the correct place on the dial and you swap which bit you read when you think plod are about, to match with driving on the wrong side of the road...   I see in either a preventative change or more likely accountants penny pinching - a lot (Mini etc.) of cars now get built with the main speedo dial fixed to domestic mkt requirement - and then add a nasty badly placed digit display of the opposing speed units...  Whereas with modern cluster displays we could just toggle main dial back and forth with the addon digit display alternating to the opposite units

Or better still each mkt use the old British standard of main speed units round the outside and the lesser units on the inner ring - and you even get to train yourself to know both which is even safer...

I can't be 100 % sure if all the times they told me they actually updated it. But I can tell you I've seen the diagnosis screen and their inner programmes and info wiht the "update available" and "up to date" msgs, so I guess they're not lying to me about this.

I really cannot tell you, because the sign recognition is now working better than it did when it relied on the nav. I mean, the town centre has been for pedestrians for 2 years, so I can understand the new 20 km/h sign is not on the nav, but I think it'd be impossible for the car to tell an 80 sign there, as it did, (the sign is a bit bent and the 2 is not clear) because it was a 50 before.

Also, on the motorway, I get 30 signs when is 80, or 60 when 120, then with the nav settings on and also now.

I think it may be the 2nd option. This is what you bought. It is a sh***y system but Ford clearly says it may not work properly in these 1000 situations. No brand's system is perfect, you're being too fussy. I was told this last Thursday.

I appreciate it! I didn't think my English was so good 🤪.But no, I'm basque living in the Basque Country. 

I know we can switch to the other system, at least we (wrong-side drivers) can show mph on the dash, but they appear both at the same time. What I don't know, is whether when it's changed, the car "thinks" the signs are in mph too - I think it should, but who knows with Ford-. I've tried it, but my car isn't the best option for checking this.

I wonder how they handle this

I guess that's why the Nav info is required, so it can inform the car which country its in - so it uses the correct conversion of any signs limit it sees ?
With all the info you provided - sounds to me more and more like your Nav maps speed limits are way out of date.

But thinking about why the manufacturer needs to use the Nav... I just thought of another mess they can hit....

The "safe" option would be to always assume the lower limit is the important limit - So if Nav says 100, and the Sign says 80, hold to a max of 80... and becomes especially important on "smart motorways" with sign driven variable limits...  So the road network sign might say 110 but the signs show congestion, slow to 90... 

But what happens if it mistakenly sees 20 on a highway and you cause a pile up ?

 

And this must be interesting - in the UK on our motorway network we can have overhead gantries where the fools don't use the screens capability correctly...

A speed limit sign was always a White circular sign, with a Red Border, and Black font for the posted speed limit
But the retarded screens above each lane show a naff Black circular sign, a rough Orangey Red blurry Border and often a nasty Orangey white font posted limit - NOT meeting the original requirements... But as a fall back they have now fudged up the Definition of what is our Compulsory Signage

And in older parts of the network we can have two differing older naff large screens only on the left, that you are expected to believe applies to all lanes.  The earliest type shows an Orange blurry mess of a sign with black font posted limit - this is nothing like a speed limit sign, the later two colour naff screens can get a blurry Orange Red circle and an Orange font posted limit in the wrong font size

How can a system set to look for normal White limit signs in normal positions at the side of the road at 2m height - work with the blurry fake rubbish we have on Smart Motorways -  now I wonder if the cameras can ONLY legally get you for in excess of the 70mph limit - as none of the variable limit signs should be legally acceptable in the UK !

Yes, but the thing is my car reads 80 when it's 20, or 30 when it's 80, or it takes the 60 from the exit lane and not the general one (and is not supposed to do that unless I'm in that lane), or it even reads signs from the side roads. 

If anyone whats to check, just 3 examples...

Town: 9 Loroño Kalea - Google Maps

Motorway: A-8 - Google Maps. The motorway is at 80, the exit ramp goes from 70 to 50 to 30, but my car has always read the 80 one first, then 30 (5 meters up) and then the 80 again.

Motorway: Autop. Vasco-Aragonesa - Google Maps. Reads 60 from exit lane.

And that's exactly why I think my car shows an error, because somehow it knows something's wrong, and won't let me use the assistant.

I don't think it works that way because this system is also supposed to read temporary and roadworks signs — the yellow ones — and adjust the speed accordingly. Those signs are usually placed on the ground, or below or next to the other signs.

Now tell me, please, if I'm really being fussy

thats a pain, so it really is an 80 at this point (shown on both left and right of main carriageway), but then it picks up invalid data from signs meant for the slip road - that would really grate with me - but there's not much Ford can do to avoid the 70... and I bet its never getting fixed as there is no way they could do it - 

as for the 50 I guess its using tech it was given for overhead gantry limits and getting it wrong - I'd go as far to say its a road network fault - and even worse with the 30 limits.  Speed signs in the central reservation (and count down markers like they do it Italy) are a great idea so Lorries don't stop you knowing what's going on - but limits on both sides of the road are not needed on a single lane exit ramp, and this is what the 50 and the 30 errors stem from

3) Motorway: Autop. Vasco-Aragonesa - Google Maps. Reads 60 from exit lane.

again its a road network issue - Ford can control where Spain chose to badly place signage - more unnecessary obstacles to hit - if we bombard drivers with too much info they miss stuff and don't use common sense - it becomes too distracting, look at the road, read the road, and drive with appropriate speed - we don't need hand holding

Now tell me, please, if I'm really being fussy

sadly much of it falls with Spain not Ford.  And it can't be fixed on a car already out there - would need to add half a super computer to do what a human can - and its not got it - its got half a dead ant's brain, and bad software

 

We hijacked a thread meant for in car entertainment toy updates, and nice to have but unnecessary fixes - whereas you are on far more serious car operating systems software - with safety related implications in critical systems...   a very different group of departments - toys, vs life and death

Its ADAS not level 5 - Advanced Driver Assistance Systems - and the bings and bongs are its way of saying "I'm confused, you deal with it, coz I'm out of here"
Still gave me something to think about...

 

At least a grown up used the signs correct capability and this limit sign has the right colouring - unlike the halfwits that did the UK ones all wrong !
Although not that clever - making maintenance far harder and unnecessary rubbish for both carriageways to hit mounting it stupidly in the central reservation...
Its actually really easy to make the world a better place - but we employ idiots in key positions

Yeah, could be. I just thought complementary signs or exit lane signs weren't meant to be read unless you're in that lane...

You're right, and I apologise for that. I just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing the same issues or if anyone could shed any light on what's happening.

I hope you've all received your updates and SYNC is finally doing all right. Cheers!
