JamieSMcC Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Thanks for the information. I will get the licence soon. Is this hard to install? Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannko Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 If anyone else is interested in activating the NAVI through the proper way with licence - you can also contact me. I am able to generate the licence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieSMcC Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Okay, Bit of an issue. Ordered an F5 card off eBay and car is still saying insert Nav SD card. Tried a master reset of Sync and still the same. Speaking with Bannko I've discovered I also need to activate the navi cluster on FoCCCus as well as changing the hex on ForScan. As I only activated the Nav on ForScan I assumed the SD card wasn't being read as I hadn't done the FoCCCus step. Tried to do this and discovered the USB cable I ordered is knackered. Two Windows laptops are not detecting the cable at all! So need to check three things: 1) SD card is legit! 2) USB cable replaced and check ForScan changes have been set and then check FoCCCus. (I thought I could do one or the other) 3) Navi Licence file. Not sure if the unlock has worked and hence I can't open the SD card. Anyone have any thoughts?

Richiemac Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Should work without cluster change. Did you put some music on another sd and see if it is seen......just in case there's a wiring issue ? Dodgy or faulty card usually gives a faulty sd card warning on screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieSMcC Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Will try that in the morning! Really been set back with the USB adapter not working. Starting to think it is the licence now to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiemac Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Try running the unlock again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieSMcC Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Thanks very much to Bannko & Richiemac for their help. Seems as if getting a licence file done the trick rather than using the free unlock to activate sat nav. Will use FoCCCus to complete the final part of activating the instrument cluster but just using ForScan and the licence done the trick. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmad Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I seem to have similar problem now, I've been able to change the forscan values and I now have the insert nav card and "information" icon. However the nav card i created doesnt seem to be read. I also cannot connect to Focccus for some reason, It seems to get stuck on connecting to ecu. So I dont know if the cards correctly setup or if I need to get into focccus to change the cluster settings. Any help would be appreciated?

JamieSMcC Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The thing that really helped me was the licence file. Bannko supplied this to me, bundled with a Sync update so it was a case of installing/reinstalling Sync from the USB stick, so it was a fresh install and working. Once I got the Sat Nav working I then activated the cluster with FoCCCus afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannko Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yep, the Focccus thing is only optional. The navi will stil work also without it. But it is nice to have it also on your cluster . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Must admit that when I did my nav a few months ago I applied the Foccus part but no additional info pops up on the cluster. Bannko, can you PM me the process and what I should be seeing on the IC? Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hey there John, you have to download the Focccus software: http://ford.xtlt.ru/FoCCCus/FoCCCus_0.8.6.zip Run it in your car with ELM calbe and change this value #172 to value as seen on the screenshot: But you have to have the cluster with the bigger color display: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmacp1808 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Managed to get sat nav activated and unlocked. Sd Card required the key file to be placed at the root of the card! However I cannot for the life of me get focccus to connect to the car any advice? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallo John, the only thing that comes to my mind is faulty ELM cable or it does not support something. If you connect the ELM cable to your pc and open the Device Manager - can you see what port is assigned to it? (e.g. COM1,COM2,COM3...)

jmacp1808 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi I am computer literate luckily so I've went through a pile of drivers and get the same message continually "cant connect to ECU" changed date rates etc as well. Does focccus work with the 2015 Focus? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Foccus works fine on the mk3.5 Focus. Sounds like a bad/clone ELM cablw or problems with auto-allocation of the computers port baud rate. Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanp Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Followed all the guides and got the Nav working on the Sync 2 and enabled the cluster option as well. However I can't get the sd card to work. Display shows the prompt to insert sd card but no matter where I put the sdcard.key file it doesn't pick it up. I've put the sdcard.key in the root of the sdcard and also tried it in nuance\vca\data. Anyone have any tips on what I can try? Also when using the genfordkey do you keep the first radio button selected? Many thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Did you use the sd card keygen software that gives 3 possible keys? I found that the first one didn't work but the second one did for me. Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the sdcard.key in at the root e.g. \sdcard.key and also tried it at \nuance\vca\data\sdcard.key I'll format the card and try again tomorrow. One thing I did notice is that the file is different each time its created, even though I'm not changing the radio button selection. You would think if you generate the file twice with the same serial number both files would be the same but they don't seem to be. P.S. am I correct in thinking you enter the serial key in hex in to the app e.g. 0x0000305ec etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Don't enter the 0x part of the serial number and see how you go. Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 1. Get a 32 gig MicroSDHC card, Class 10 or faster with a full size SD adapter. 2. Use the android app 'SD Booster' to read the serial number from the MicroSDHC card, Save the serial number for later use. 3. Format the MicroSDHC card FAT32. This will get rid of any folders created by Android and ensure the proper format. 4. Copy maps files to the SD card, This can take 4+ hours to copy NA region. 5+ hours for EU. 5. Use GenFordKey.exe and enter your serial number without the 0x at the front and all in lower case. 6. Click the first button to generate SdCard.key file in same folder as GenFordKey.exe 7. Copy SdCard.key to the MicroSDHC card. Overwrite if file already exists. Test in car. 8. If it doesn't work, try the second button in GenFordKey.exe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
