Hi all,I purchased an internal expansion interface for the Sync2 that finally allows me to view Android Auto without problems.

Unfortunately the audio output is on a cable that should be connected to the AUX port that on my Ford Focus III station wagon from December 2015 is not present (there are photos of the adapters, the necessary one and the one that I have instead...)

I can eventually listen by bluetooth but i should prefer the AUX jack connection.

Studying the issue I saw that there are pins for the connection of the AUX JACK on the 54-pin connector of the SYNC2 and I have no problem connecting them (photo B)

However I can not in any way find/activate the button for the AUX socket on the SYNC2 options (photo C), I have done a lot of research, tried with ForScan but I can not find it, even analyzing the various databases of as-built parameters for the sync2.

Can someone help me and tell me how to activate the aux audio input function on the SYNC2?

Thanks

 

It would also be greatly appreciated if I had the as-built data (or VIN, I get the data myself) of a mk3 or 3.5 Focus with the aux input installed and working so I can compare with mine and modify if necessary.

Having just checked 6 different 2015 Focus Titanium X none of them have the 3.5mm Aux jack socket.

Have you connected up the new Aux socket to your Sync 2 system ? This could be one of those situations that the option for the Aux input only becomes available once the socket is in use.

honestly no, I haven't connected the socket yet, I was waiting to understand how to enable it... I wanted to avoid dismantling the SYNC and the dashboard too many times. Yesterday I found a setting in Forscan in the CCC / BCM block with which to set the presence of the aux input and even the quantity... I tried to set it in various ways but it doesn't work.
I wonder if by chance the model of my SYNC2 is not set up for the aux input (and that for this reason the button is not displayed...)
Or perhaps it is necessary to update the firmware of the SYNC2 because in this way when it installs it it recognizes the presence of the hardware and sets the controls accordingly...
I don't know, I'm quite discouraged.
But what if I connected one of those audio cards for the USB port? Would Windows recognize it without a driver? I have doubts...

Hello. Did you manage in the end to do something to add/enable aux input? I am exactly in the same situation with a Carplay module for Android Auto. Also, you mentioned you could have sound through Bluetooth. How did you manage that? Because I couldn't get any sound in Android Auto mode.
