hii all,
I recently ran my interrogator log through the CyanLabs AsBuilt Explorer and noticed that my APIM (4U5T-14G371-GFA, 64GB, Navigation, non-MY20) appears to have several North American settings despite being installed in a European-market 2020 Ford Focus MK4 Titanium Business here in the Netherlands. For i know its never have been replaced. Previous owner was a lease company.
Specifically, the following are set to US values:
BT Vehicle Nameplate ID: 05 (Ford Taurus) instead of 02 (Ford Focus)
Chime Strategy: 00 (North American) instead of 20 (European)
Climate Control: 00 (CGEA North American) instead of 40 (C1MCA European)
CGEA Version: 80 (CGEA 1.3)
Splash Screen: 01 (Unknown / not used in 3.4)
The unit is running Sync 3.4.23188 (NU5T-14G381-AD) with F12 EU maps and everything works fine day-to-day. However, I have noticed that the chime/warning strategy seems quite aggressive compared to what I’d expect — for example, persistent dashboard warnings when stationary with the door open and engine off.
Could these North American settings cause any functional issues or incompatibilities on a European-spec vehicle? and it recommended to change these to the correct European values via FORScan, or is it safe to leave as-is?
looking forward to hear from you!
