Getting map version from interrogator file

Ford Discussion
1

I just updatet my Kuga software from build 23188 to version 3.4.26057 including map F13.

The update didn’t created an XML file. In the display of my Kuga I see the version as expected.
I just created an xml file with the interrogator and uploaded it to the Ford site.

Can I see the map file version in the interrogator file. An AI answered that there should be file names in the XML file. But there are no filenames and no clear version numbers.

You can get the map version on the main screen in the car under General, About Sync

Then consider it’s ok.

You can’t, but you can see which packages the unit has installed, then double crossing them with what’s expected or our sw db

Yes, very simple.
Example:
Look for the line in the Interrogator XML:
didFormat=“Packeted” didType=“Embedded Consumer Applications Part Numbers 1” didValue=“8060” responseLength=“384”>
There will be a data string…

Copy this and go to a hex to ascii decoder…

Copy the data to the input window and select Convert. This will give you the list of software modules installed in the APIM, minus the Sync app, which is defined at didFormat=“ASCII” didType=“Embedded Consumer Operating System Part Number” didValue=“8033” responseLength=“24”> in clear text, which in this case would be NU5T-14G381-AE.
You can see that in this example this decodes to…
4U5T-14G421-CAJ4U5T-14G421-CBJ4U5T-14G421-CCJ4U5T-14G421-CDJ4U5T-14G421-CEJ4U5T-14G421-CFJ4U5T-14G421-CGJ4U5T-14G421-CHJ4U5T-14G421-CJJ5U5T-14G391-CS4U5T-14G422-CAR4U5T-14G422-CBR4U5T-14G422-CCR4U5T-14G423-CC
Which is the NA2.25 maps and latest Sync version, etc.
