Reading navigation data (destinations) from a navigation system in a 2020 Ford Ranger

[KaeferLive]

Hi,

I’ve been tasked with reading data from a navigation system in a 2020 Ford Ranger and need to be able to get it up and running in the lab. From what I’ve found, I’ll need a CAN bus simulator that generates the necessary wake-up signals. Can anyone recommend a set of cables for a workbench setup (commercial, not DIY)?

I think it has to fit in connector 4. It has to provide a suitable power supply then , I think.

Type of Car is:

Ford Ranger Typ „2AB" „YN2X4P" „51DBAQV4"

Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Modell14G370

Can anyone confirm that Connector 5 is a USB Port. I would need a cable for this then, too.

Then at the end, when I can get the unit running on a workbench, I will have to get access to the Memory. As far as I know, it should be a QNX/Linux/Android OS, and it may contain the last 40 navigation destination including the date and timestamps. And this would be very important: We need some evidence that the destination address which was entered in the system has been reached at a specific date/time.

I would really appreciate any further tips. Best regards from Germany.

It would be easier to just get a Ford that had Sync 3 and plug this APIM into it. Than you would easily have access to the APIM.

You are correct that #5 goes to the USB hub and #4 is the APIM power/data connector.

Not sure if the APIM shows you made it to a destination but it should have the passed searched addresses in it. If the vehicle had a TCU in it than I would contact that cell provider and see if they have location data history on it. That would show the locations it went to just like getting regular Cell phone history.

Thx. Yes I know, but it is not my car and I do not have access to the orginal car.
