2018 Ford IPC Android Auto Repeater Issue

Heyo folks. First thanks to everyone giving their time and help to this. Real incredible to have a community like this helping others and letting us try and keep our vehicles more current without visits to dealers.

With that, I recently moved from Sync3 3.0.19205 US w/Nav to the latest 3.4.23188 US w/Nav. Reading the site, I saw the potential to use Android Auto on the IPC and got interested so went through the process. I am posting here as I do not believe the issue is related to the update itself, but a config issue on my end. I tried searching previous threads and mostly came up with posts from 2021-23 (CarPlay connection issues & no Android Auto dash navigation). I saw in some places that an adjustment might need to be made to the IPC settings, but searching the AsBuilt areas I was not able to find anything in the IPC for F150 that stood out to me as relating to the repeater. Hoping someone here has some insights on how I might be able to get nav on dash. I tested Waze after install with no luck. I also tried Google Maps and that did not function either as another thread said it might have been a Waze issue. Phone is the latest Pixel running latest OS and up to date versions of both. Ran out of ideas, so last resort seeing if anyone has thoughts or suggestions on where I might look. Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Can you post your APIM asbuilt?

Yup! My Windows laptop is apparently dead, so I’m going to have to wait for a new one to arrive soon. In the meantime, I looked through the list last night. Are you thinking 7D0-01-02 xxxx xxxx x* and xxxx x*xx xx are the ones to check? I had been poking through IPC, not here, so I appreciate the lead!

APIM_20250709_181307.abt (401 Bytes)

Laptop took longer than I would like but here is the APIM dump. I saved this before made adjustments. I set Nav Repeater from Current to HUD Support. This ended up making it when I set a WAZE direction that it blips super-fast showing what I hope is a nav direction for less than a glimpse and goes back to compass. I then changed Motorola to Intel and no change. From there I was clearly playing more than I should not knowing what I was doing so gave up.

I did not take it for a test drive so not sure if maybe it just needs time to get updates to start showing directions. I will test that tomorrow, but wanted to at least get the APIM as built here.

You don’t have a NAV HUD in the Raptor. Should be set to Current for F-150’s. You should also be set for Motorola NRF.

The setting is called RMI Navigation (RMIN) in the IPC.
This is at 720-05-01 xx*x xxxx xxxx.
If you have a ‘0’, change it to a ‘1’.
0=RMIC Disabled, RMIE Disabled, RMIE Disabled, RMIN Disabled
1=RMIC Disabled, RMIE Disabled, RMIE Disabled, RMIN Enabled

Does the onboard NAV already work in the IPC?

And this why I should not be playing around. Will revert settings and make adjustments and report back. Thanks for the tips. More to come tomorrow. Built in nav worked just fine, it was Waze from Android not working.

Settings put back. Validated that RMIN is enabled. I drove around with it for a bit, and Waze still displays a quick blip of the navigation on the IPC, then returns to the compass. Google Maps shows directions; however, the distance to the next turn is magnitudes off. It will say 170 miles to the next turn when I have a mile to go. As I drive, that distance collapses quickly, so either I have the world’s fastest truck or it is borked. Normal nav from Ford works fine.

That is a know and well documented issue with Waze. Google maps must be misconfigured on your phone or something there, as it will work fine as well as Apple maps. But the Waze thing seems to be an issue, not just with Ford.

Understood and thanks. I will mark this as solution and close this thread. Thanks for your help.
