Enabling Park Assist in Sync 3 (For those that have done a Sync 2 > Sync 3 Upgrade)

Anyone did this perpendicular upgrade on Ford Escape 2015 Titanium? I would like to do this on my Escape.

Thanks

How to set after Enabling Park Assist in Escape 2013 Titanium sync2


I have such APIM settings

I don’t have it. How to turn it on

I did a sync 2 to sync 3 upgrade but have problems with my reverse camera its not a genuine Ford one I have lost all on screen graphics and the park pilot in the right hand corner but the camera still works it’s on a 2016 mondeo mk5 any ideas?

This is most likely an asbuilt programming issue. Run the APIM Interrogator Tool and post the APIM asbuilt.
@Louage might have a thought on this…

Something has changed with back up cameras in 21194 but we don’t know what. I’d recommend trying an old version than 21194 and see if this fixes the issue as a starter.

Just had a look mine says build 19200 system updates 30:45:11:72:07:76 if that is any help is this version any good?

If you’re on 19200 that’s pretty old. In vehicle OTA updates won’t work for you since this is a sync 2 → sync 3 upgrade. You’ll have to use the syn3updater program to create an update USB. I’d first try loading the latest build (3.4.21194) and if that doesn’t help then try 3.4.21098.

Thanks will the update alter anything mine has video playback will it affect anything else thanks for your help.

If you have mods installed you’ll likely need to update them, but that’s all the guidance I can give with that topic.

I have focus mk3 2013. It was with sync 1 and I upgraded it to sync 3.4. Now I have issue with parking assistance… I dont have visualisation of distance when Im parking and also park assist is not working… When im driving and trying to find space its always changing between perpendicular and parralel. My car had only parallel parking… How can I fix this issues because I see this guide is for sync 2 to sync 3. Is it working for me? Can I also add perpendicular parking without adding sensors on both sides? Thanks!

I did the changes in the PAM because my APIM was configured but the white (dynamic) lines are not working at the moment and i don’t have any DTC. I have a Sync 3 and Focus MK3.5.

Drive the vehicle, they should come back.

I drove the car around half an hour and nothing changes, I check again the DTC and still no error appears

From post 1,
…but does require an update to your PAM (Parking Assist Module) firmware AND Asbuilt configuration updates.
Did you update the firmware?

Maybe @Louage would have some insight?

I didn’t do the update because I don’t have the option in my forscan

Can you confirm which white lines you are referring to? Is this overlay lines on the reverse camera? A picture of what you see would be useful.

That’s what I have, what I’m trying to refer is the dynamic lines when you turn your wheel.

It’s likely you need to make changes to the BCM, I haven’t come across a definitive way to enable this as its not a common request. If you do find out, let us know.

Have a look at this link for some ideas: Need to reprogram rear camera - Page 2 - FORScan forum

It works!!!

I did this change:
Go into “BCMii Module configuration (AS BUILT format)”
change 726-01-06 from 1 240 to 9 240

Thank you so much
