Forgive me if this topic is already on here somewhere. I looked for it. I am trying to get my non-updated sync 3.0 system with factory navigation to 3.4 but I do not want to retain the factory navigation. Only plan on using Apple CarPlay for navigation purposes. Do I need to buy a different apim to do that? Or is there just a certain update I should download? Sorry, I am not super tech savvy if something here doesn’t make sense.
Use ForScan to change 7D0-01-02 to x0xx xxx xxxx this disables NAV (2 puts it back) so that you don’t get the NAV fault on the restart.
After that use the updater to reformat the APIM without maps to get you up to 3.4.
Its not going to run any faster because the maps aren’t there, all you’re doing it cutting down on the reformat/install time.

In forscan before doing any updating with the cyan labs tool, I’m going to change 7D0-01-02, to 7D0-01-00? Do I have this right? Apologies again, I’m not educated in any kind of programming/coding. I’m blue collar lol. Have messed around with Forscan on a f150 and Ranger though.
You’re changing the value in 7D0-01-02 to x0xx xxx xxxx to a 0 from a 2.
7D0-01-01 etc are entirely different blocks in the APIM.

You’re the man. Thanks for dumbing it down for me.
Hello.
Why do you want to do that exactly?.
I mean, do you want to disable NAV or you just do not care about NAV?.
My question too. I understand that the poster wants to use ACP for maps instead of factory Nav but probably no need to delete it.
Perhaps it is to make further 3.4 software updates faster but there probably won’t be any more anyway with the introduction of sync 4.
Good questions, I guess no point really other than cleaning up the ui a bit. But nav is on the car’s original equipment, may just leave it on there and do the 3.4 update as normal. Window sticker does show that it was somewhere around a $700 option so I guess there’s value in it. Also, I just don’t trust vehicles proprietary maps. I feel like they do strange routes when I’ve used in the past.
That was exactly my thoughts , usually people do the opposite: trying to activate NAV on NO-NAV vehicles, which requires configuration and a new APIM to make it right.
Besides, whenever you sell the car it’s going to make a difference. Not a huge one, but it’s plus for a lot of people.
Personally speaking it’s a shame that Ford had not updated my maps since the car touched the road… Maps are from 2015 or 2016 I believe, and they have a good UI and instructions. Of course I can’t ask them for traffic since that service was not provided locally.
I keep them as Plan B, I’ve bought a Wireless Android Auto adapter some years ago so I hardly use Sync3 as OS any more since AA auto starts when I turn the car on. But if I ever need them, I have them, and they are 100% offline (even work without GPS signal, which is just genius).
Bottom line, of course it’s your call, but I would keep them. Also, updating is easier if you just keep everything stock…

Agreed. Felt like I’d find a way to mess something up also. This keeps it simple. Didn’t know they work offline/no signal either. Neat
They all share the same data from the same sources. The only real difference is the timeliness of the data, which is much later on built in vehicle systems due to the update cycles. The benefit becomes very clear when your phone doesn’t work…The routing is based on user preferences in the nav setup.
