Hi, I am looking to change the navigation maps on my Ford Mustang from USA to EU maps.
I have read the tutorial, and it states that it would be possible for SYNC 3.0 and then a little bit further down it states that it is not possible for SYNC 2.0 and 3.0.
Could you pls advise on whether it should work on the version that I have on my navigation?
I used the interrogater app and found this version: 3.0.20204
Thank you.
SYNC Region: NA
Navigation Variant: Nav
Manufacturer Year: Pre MY20
Install Type: OEM
Old SYNC Version: 3.0.20204
New SYNC Version: 3.0.20204
Do you have a error message, if so what is it?
Not yet, first would like to know if this can work.
Ok thank you for the quick reply.
That is the tutorial that I have read and intend to use for the programming.
My current version is SYNC 3.0.20204 and you indicated that I should upgrade to SYNC 3.4.
However, the tutorial instructions mention that if you have version 3.4 installed, you need to downgrade before anything (if I understood correctly). So I am a bit confused now on what sequence of steps to follow. Upgrade and then downgrade, or just upgrade? And to which versions?
E.g. Would my first step be to go from my current version to any version of Sync 3.4 as per your recommendation and then downgrade again to a 3.3 version? And then change the APIM settings with forscan and change maps and settings to EU settings following the tutorial? Or should I upgrade straight to the version that is recommended to downgrade to in the tutorial (3.3.19052)?
I have also checked if the versions that are mentioned in the tutorial are available in the Syn 3 updater programme, but they do not all seem available. None of the 3.2 versions seem available.
And although Syn 3 updater gives me options for several Sync 3.4 versions, only 1 version of 3.3 is available (3.3.19052 for an APIM without navigation).
So also that is a bit of question to me; if I upgrade which one should I use? The tutorial uses several, among which version 3.3.19052, but the version available in Syn 3 updater is only for an APIM without navigation. That also does not seem the right way to go.
Sorry for all the questions, but Iād rather double check upfront on the right order and versions.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
After you upgrade it to 3.4, you may use this procedure to convert to EU: Sync3 MY20 Nav US ā PL/EU, https://www.fordescape.org/posts/1216638/
This is for Ford Escape 4G, so assumes Sync3 Nav MY20, where 3.4.23188 as the latest version - it needs jailbreaking and uses SyncRenovation.
If your unit is pre-MY20 and does not require jailbreaking, you may want to do it more traditional way. This one should work as well, though (SyncRenovation is said to work with all Sync3 APIMs).
To use the Syn3 Updater with reformat, you will need too downgrade the APIM to Sync 3.3 so that the reformatter will run. This is configured automatically in the Syn3 Updater in the Automatic Method, which you should follow.
Ok thank you both for the explanation.
My car is out for maintenance at the dealer but when I have it back I will try to go to Sync 3.3.19052 first and follow the tutorial instructions from there to use forscan to change settings etc.
