Sync 1

Hi all is there anyway to get track names and artist when playing a cd and bluetooth cause I don't?  Is it a case of an update? I get them when using my iPhone plugged into the USB.

Annoys me this. I had it on my zetec witch wasn't sync and don't on my sync titanium. Was wondering if it's possible to upgrade to sync 1.1. 

 

Anyone know now we can check for updates

SYNC 1.0 does not support track info when using the bluetooth Audio functionality. A software update of the APIM (SYNC) module does not change this.

bluetooth Audio track info support was added on SYNC 1.1. If you want the track info to be displayed when using the bluetooth Audio function you have to change the APIM module for a newer SYNC 1.1 version.

My APIM is from a 2014 PFL. What year would I need to source one from? I don't even get it when playing cd's. Would a new APIM be plug n play?

The SYNC 1.1 system was introduced at approximately 03-2014. 

The APIM module can be identified by the Part Number. A SYNC 1.0 APIM module has a part number that starts with AM5T or BM5T. A SYNC 1.1 APIM module has a part number that starts with D1BT.

 

In most cases a new APIM module is not plug and play. It needs to be programmed to match the configuration of the car. The configuration of a SYNC 1.1 APIM module is different from a SYNC 1.0 APIM module. The SYNC 1.0 configuration or the AS-BUILT data of a SYNC 1.0 vehicle can not be used to configure the SYNC 1.1 APIM module. 

A SYNC 1.1 APIM module will only be plug and play if it came from a similar spec. Focus MK3
