Could anyone help me get the navigation directions in the cluster?

I am unable to use Focccus as it is not compatible with my Focus RS, so I would need to do it with forscan? I've tried a few methods already but nothing seems to have worked. Is the only way to change the car config file?

What ELM cable do you use? And what error do you get if you are trying to read data using Forscan? 

You can also activate the directions in cluster using Forscan. But if you are already unable to do it with Focccus not sure if you will be able to do it via Forscan.

Hit me a PM with your e-mail and i will send you the instructions how to activate it there via Forscan.

not so much of an error; more that I think the hex values I changed were the incorrect ones as once I changed them nothing changed in the cluster.

cheers for the help :)

As we talked via PM. Your calibration file is very recent and not currently available and supported by Focccus or Forscan. You will just have to wait a little bit till it will be available or ask directly on Forscan maybe they already have it. :)

UCDS is top for modifications i also recommend it :) but i also understand that not everyone wants to spend approx. 95 Pounds on this cable.

Hello All

I have just bought a 2015 Focus Titanium X, it is beyond me why someone would not have paid for the sav nav when new. I am intending on doing this mod but wondered if anyone knew is this has any impact on the warranty? Sorry to ask Bannk, can you PM me the details.

Thanks

Hi, would anyone in Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire be willing to enable this for me if I brought genuine sd card off eBay and paid for you to enable system.

Hi Bannko, just bought a Focus Titanium 2015 with no Satnav. Any chance you could PM me details on enabling. Many thanks.

Hi bannko,  brought an st-line that shows compass only, hoped someone in Derbyshire had the skills to help me do this but could you send me details on how to do it please to see if I can.

does it affect any other features of sync or invalidate warranty do you know?

thanks in advance for your help

Hi @ijc060572. ST line is not already enquiped with SYNC 3? As the navi activation is possible only for the SYNC 2.

Can confirm this works, now got nav on main screen and directions on smaller screen.  

Bannko thanks for all your help with this, ford original sd card and factory installed nav for approx £100 can't be bad.  

Few panics as installs but don't worry that you've bricked your new car, relax and it will be ok..  he says now :)

100% possible, did it on mine last year.
Where are you based?

Hi Bannko, 

Got to say, very generous, the amount of help you are giving out here. If you are prepared to share a PP address, I'll send you a metaphorical pint ;)

However, there is a cost :)


I've jut bought the Mrs a 2016 Focus Titanium, which I thought (assumed to be honest...) would have satnav, but doesn't. It does have the touchscreen, and the compass etc, so I'm expecting it's relatively simple to add the satnav feature?
I've looked through the thread, and whilst I see gatherings of info, if there is a 'one stop shop' for guide and required hardware, I'd appreciate it.

I'm pretty competent, so should be able to work it out, but as I say, hardware and software links would be appreciated :)


Thanks again for the assistance.

Sorry to be another first time poster leecher ;) It's your own fault for being so helpful :D

@Bannko hi mate

been reading this thread with interest - I just today got a 2016 focus 1.0 ecoboost and thought that all 2016 onwards came with Sync 3...but no, mines Sync 2...really want to get satnav sorted for it.

I'm reasonably tech savvy, so from what I've seen should be able to do it but would be massively grateful if you could PM with some specific instructions!

thanks in advance mate, you seem to have helped hundreds already!

Hi I've got a focus st-2 sync-1 on it.  I have a late 2014 focus. It's a Sony unit without nav.  Is there a way of getting nav for this unit?  If not I've just bought a sync 2 unit with nav touch screen is it an easy replacement? Awaiting delivery.   I don't have an sd reader but have USB.  Any help would be appreciated 

thanks
