JW1982 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 SYNC 1.1 was introduced in 2014. A 2013 Focus MK3 does not have SYNC 1.1 unless it was retrofitted. In 2013 Ford installed the SYNC 1.0 system. The SYNC 1.0 system can only be updated by a Ford dealer. However because Ford stopped the support for the SYNC 1.0 system there are no recent updates available for the SYNC 1.0 system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno mate but its def 1.1. Ive got a 2017 card but the car wont read it. I know the cards good coz checked it on pc. Might just buy another but slightly different version see if that works. Worth a punt for 25 quid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 the latest card is v7, but if you bought from eBay, quite often they are copies and wont work. what working version card do you currently have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYNC 1.1 has version numbers that start with V5. (V5.11 is currently the latest). I have never seen a SYNC 1.1 sofware version number that starts with V3. The type of APIM (SYNC) module can easily be determined by the part number. SYNC 1.0 APIM modules have a part number that starts with AM5T- or BM5T-. SYNC 1.1 APIM modules have a part number that starts with D1BT-, E1BT or F1BT. Another easy way to check whether you have the SYNC 1.0 or SYNC 1.1 system is by using the bluetooth Audio functionality. SYNC 1.0 does not support MP3 track info on the FCDIM (display). If your car really has SYNC 1.1 it should display the MP3 track info when using the bluetooth Audio functionality the same way like it is displayed when playing from USB.

iantt Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 my sync 1.0 is v3.00.09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loz13fost Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Ok now im confused. The apim no starts with am5t. Did sync 1 have applink vouce control etc? From everything ive read i was sure its 1.1 coz of the functionality etc?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the old Bluetooth/Voicecontrol based Focus MK3 versions did have the additional (cruise control switch style) radio remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz13fost Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 So did they do a sync 1 with applink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 No, APPlink was introduced on SYNC 1.1 The SYNC 1.1 APPlink functionality is very limited. Initially there were several (Android and IOS) APPs available for the SYNC 1.1 system. Unfortunately most APP developers stopped supporting this system. Even Spotify stopped supporting the SYNC 1.1 APPlink system. The only APP that is currently supported is Glympse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz13fost Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 This is why im confused. Mines def got applink, which is why i thought 1.1??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 SYNC 1.0 has the "SYNC Applications" option in the menu structure but this is not APPlink. Many people are confused by this option in the menu structure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
