alexp999 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I believe the backdoor/loophole for this has now been closed by Ford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieSMcC Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hiya, Cheers for the link, my Russian isn't up to scratch and don't fancy my chances with Google translate! Does anyone have a decent translation/instructions for carrying this out? Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaskell71 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 been reading thought this and I might be a bit late, however they is an easier option that involves a smart phone and an my favourite app: Waze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiemac Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Easy to do . Put the navipatch file on a blank USB. Insert and run the unlock. Using Forscan with extended licence and Elm cable just edit the APIM configuration to turn nav on. Restart sync. Buy or make your own F5 nav sd card. Done. There's another way which involves buying a licence file and installing. Forscan part has to be done either way. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieSMcC Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Cheers Richie, Pick up my car tomorrow and looking to do this. Would any ELM cable suffice and do I need to have a set version or latest software on the car to do this? Guessing the patch allows the navigation to be activated and then the car can read the sat nav from the SD card slot? Thanks for the advice :) Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiemac Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 This one is fine..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162233268021 The patch circumvents the need for a licence file. I' ve done 1 this way and it works. If you want to get the proper licence file go to .....chip ford.russia http://chipford.ru/aktivaciya-navigacii-ford-sync.html R. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 If they're asking 5000 rubles then that's approx £65 at the moment. Probably more with add-ons but still cheaper than £1200 from Ford (which they won't authorise anyway) or $800 from America which requires you to strip out and send your APIM module to them.

Richiemac Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Done lots the licence way ( €80 via PayPal )....homemade SD works perfectly. It MUST be a class 10 or higher SD card or it won't work. Irony is that most of them I have done were for a local Ford dealer :) For them I use genuine cards. R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 The problem is a Ford dealer won't officially add nav as an after sales option. Iirc they are only allowed to activate it if the original APIM has been swapped due to failure or as a paid for option on new cars prior to delivering to a customer. How they can charge so much for an option that takes 5 minutes to do with only the nav card being the extra physical part is beyond me.

JamieSMcC Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Managed to get this going. Can't test as I don't have the map SD card. Have obtained a copy of the maps provided in the URL but again the instructions on how to activate are in Russian so might be worth my while buying the maps SD off eBay. Hoping the Insert Nav SD Card is a good sign though! Thanks for everyone's help :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping the Insert Nav SD Card is a good sign though! Thanks for everyone's help :) I've been studying this all evening, im waiting on the obd cable to come to edit the apim. As for the sdcard and maps I think this is how it works. 1 - Find your sd card serial number (SD Booster Android App) 2 - Format sd card in fat32 3 - Extract F5Ford to sd card 4 - Plug your sd card serial into the Fordkeygen in the download 5 - That will create a sdcard.key that you place in (\\SDCARD\Nuance\VCA\data\*) 6 - Insert into sdslot in your car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know yet that when you will repeat the procedure again if you can activate again. But logically you should :) The licence procedure is the better one :) but the exploit procedure with .png is the free one :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
