Sync 2-Sync 3 upgrade GPS Nav not accurate when driving

codiehudson · 2 May 2025 13:49

I recently did a sync 2- sync 3 upgrade from a 2016 Ford Focus ST to a 2015 Ford F-150 XLT. I’m having issues with the gps locating right. I did change the as built but I believe there may be a problem with it. I got the antenna off Amazon and sometimes when I start the truck it will use the right location. It’s only when driving it will either dose off or be tracking way ahead of the vehicle.

If any can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried a master reset of sync?

warlock12118 · 2 May 2025 22:10

Where did you get the APIM config from?
You can’t use the one from a Focus in an F150 without making changes, nor can you use your factory AsBuilt APIM config because that’s for an entirely different APIM.

codiehudson · 2 May 2025 22:16

Yes I did a master reset.

codiehudson · 2 May 2025 22:17

I used forscan files and copied my sync 2 as built over to sync 3. And I understand sync 2 config is not the same as sync 3 so any other files they were wrong when comparing I changed. I got my as built from ford website

warlock12118 · 3 May 2025 15:05

First mistake was copying anything over from your Sync2 factory AsBuilt at all.
Please export your current APIM config from ForScan so that we can look at it to see what needs to be changed.

codiehudson · 3 May 2025 15:24

codiehudson · 3 May 2025 15:25

I have attached it.

codiehudson · 5 May 2025 15:20

Is that the forscan as built you needed or do I need to export it a different way?

F150Chief · 5 May 2025 20:47

Is the vehicle a crew cab is shorter wheelbase?
The asbuilt is incorrect, the Vehicle Specific Information is for the Focus, which does not match. These are 7D0-05-xx and 7D0-07-xx sections.

If you have a Crew Cab, you can use these values:
;Block 5
7D0G5G11A681A683819
7D0G5G2A482

;Block 7
7D0G7G1460033000058
7D0G7G20000029A007C
7D0G7G300565692001F
7D0G7G4C8AA

codiehudson · 5 May 2025 21:40

It is a crew cab short box 4wd if that makes any difference.

I will try those values and report back.

F150Chief · 5 May 2025 21:47

That is what you need…I’ll review your asbuilt for other potential settings.

codiehudson · 5 May 2025 21:59

Awesome. Greatly appreciate it man.

F150Chief · 5 May 2025 22:15

Based on your VIN and the Sync 2 information, this is your new asbuilt for Sync 3.
7D0_APIM - Accessory Protocol Interface Module (SYNC).abt (349 Bytes)

Install this with FORScan. When you write the asbuilt it will alert you there are wrong values for the parity or checksum bits. Just have FORScan figure the checksums and write the values anyways.

Master Reset after writing the asbuilt.

codiehudson · 6 May 2025 02:27

Just updating the thread. This worked and fixed my issues. Definitely make sure the as built is done if you have to pull out of a different year make and model.

F150Chief · 6 May 2025 02:29

Thanks Codie. Appreciate the feedback.
