How to active MyfordTouch Navigation

As noted by flsdiver in the previous myfordtouch thread
(http://xdaforums.com/windows-mobile/general/myford-touch-hack-enable-features-t3321397/page13)

Modify the APIM as-built data using Forscan (you will need to request an extended license for Forscan)
You will also need a ELM327 device that can do HSCAN/MSCAN.

1) Program APIM using Forscan & ELM327 device. Change the as built data bit with
(7d0-01-02. Byte 1 = 00 No Nav. Byte 1 = 04 with Nav)
Turn key off, turn on, sync black screen for a bit, then performing routine system maintenance.... for about 2 mins.

*Unknown if ACM as built data bit needs to be changed yet.
2) Program ACM as build with bit mentioned in this thread. Not sure needed/what it does but I did it anyway.

3) New method seems to be either getting a license file from vincentka post 535 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68993515&postcount=535)
OR
Using the PNG file described here https://www.drive2.ru/l/10018006/ posted by rmcgry
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69046248&postcount=545

Download license (BT4T-14F500-BE) from URL attached in the excel document. You will need to replace “YAABBCCD” in the URL section and provide your vehicle’s ESN number otherwise it won’t work. This appears to be case sensitive so make sure it is all uppercase letters.
You can get the ESN number in the settings section on the myfordtouchunit. You do not need to change anything else in the URL.

*To do non-north america and non-latest software you will need all the proper field values for your vehicle from the as build and from the current software installed on the vehicle.
All credit goes to flsdiver for the URL/Excel doc/steps needed.
*Ford could change this URL and this would no longer work!

4) *This step may not be needed depending on if you are using the PNG file method. Create the USB device and edit the autoinstall.lst file to only install the BT4T-14F500-BE file.
5) Stick in A7 nav SD Card.
6) Enjoy the trip!

For the long winded explanation, and those that what to put the pieces together...

Background:
APIM = Accessory Protocol Interface Module it is what holds the software that runs MFT.
ACM = Audio Control Module (Radio)
IPC = Instrument Panel Control Module
ESN = APIM Serial Number.
The Module Id of the APIM is 7D0 on the can-bus.
The APIM must be programmed with as build data to turn on NAV, more on that later.
I programmed the APIM bits via obdII 1st then did the nav/license install, not sure order matters or not.
Optionally the ACM bit can be set (this is very vehicle specific).
The NAV software license must be installed on the APIM via a normal USB update process.
The NAV software license must be digitally signed by f0rd for the serial number (ESN) that is on your APIM.
See other discussions for why one license file does not work in all vehicles (or you wouldn't be reading this thread, everyone would have NAV)
When done correctly you will see the license show up on the MFT license screen.

Sources of data regarding your APIM:

1) Get the As Build data for your vehicle.
this contains some of the values needed to build the software unlocker url and contains the 7d0
motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt put in VIN
download file and save as xml (it's easier to read than .ab with simple browser)
also, i save this page as html file (ctrls) so that i can easily reference the modules/addresses and compare data for apim/acm.

this is sample of 7d0 apim as build data that determines what is or is not installed on your vehicle

This is an excerpt from the as build file that contains the software values for the apim, you will need this to build proper software download url.

	<NODEID>
	7D0
	<F110>DS-ET4T-14D212-AB</F110>
	<F111>ES7T-14F130-BA</F111>
	<F113>ES7T-14D212-DA</F113>
	<F188>EM5T-14D205-AD</F188>
	</NODEID>

2) Software Installation Report
this comes from the usb stick that you used to do your last update.
or you may put the SYNCStatusChecker.zip on a usb stick, put it in your car, turn on key, it will install the report on your usb stick.
look in the syncmyride folder for xml file that is in the format Sync_<esn>_<vin>.xml
this file contains all the information you should need to do the software download!
below is an excerpt from this software report.
<VIN> <ESN> <HardwareFordPartNumber> <ImageFPN> <VMCUFordPartNumber> <FPN> (2nd application is for nav in this case)

  <Vehicle>
	<VIN>1FTEW1EG2FFA47262</VIN>

3) Alternatively you can get most of this same information from the diagnostic screen.
Radio off, key on, eject button hold, still holding eject hold the right (next ) button.
Cancel tone test
Goto APIM Diagnostic/Part Numbers
Find on screen -
APIM Serial Number: <ESN>
H/W Part Number: <HardwareFordPartNumber>
CCPU S/W Part Number: <ImageFPN>
VMCU S/W Part Number : <VMCUFordPartNumber>
This would leave you to guess your particular NAV pack. <FPN>, usually EA5T-14F657-AD for north america.

You can use all of this data above, from your vehicle, map it to line 7 of excel, it will generate the url on line 8 for you.
Download the software, confirm that you have BT4T-14D546-EE in the zip, this is the NAV software license.
Unzip to USB stick, let this install run just like any normal sync update.
After update you should be able to go to Settings/System/Install Applications/View Software License and see the nav license on your MFT.


APIM Programming
You will need to download Forscan software.
You will need a good OBDII Forscan compatible OBDII interface.
Old Real Elm327s with MSCAN/HSCAN switch, or other good interfaces, not the cheap $5 elms on ebay 99.9% will not work.
Consult Forscan site for more on compatible interfaces.
Connect Interface and Forscan, let it scan modules.
Configuration Programming select APIM as build.

The important thing to set is one bit at 7D0-01-02 00 needs to be 7D0-01-02 04 in all cases we have seen so far.
7D0-01-02 0009 0604 806D No Nav
7D0-01-02 0409 0604 8071 Nav
The checksum (last byte), is the sum of all other bytes on that line
Checksum for this can be simple, just add 04 hex, so 6D + 04 = 71. See post #7 for good explaination on checksum.
Your numbers will be different for your vehicle.
The 1st byte 00/04 and the last checksum are all that need be changed.
Forscan may or may not calculate this checksum dynamically, i don't remember.
After doing this the MFT will reboot.
At which time, you should have nav.

You will need an SD map card (A7 is current) in the vehicle to use NAV. Go buy one, so that Here maps gets paid.

Please do not post the url in this thread. Build and download your own.

Attached a simplified excel with clearer header with entries attached.


Edit:
Climate in lower right quadrant can also be enabled. Post #69

You said:
4) Create the USB device and edit the autoinstall.lst file to only install the BT4T-14F500-BE file.
But in the "original" flsdiver instructions we had:
3) Download license (BT4T-14F500-BE) and nav software pack (EA5T-14F657-AD hint! in my case)..
How it is? It is not needed the "nav software pack"?

All the myfordtouch update files already have NAV included so it should already have NAV installed you just need to change the as built data and run the license activation.

And what if my system is not updated to the latest version (having 3.07 instead of 3.08)? And of course don't want to update it...
Can be activated?

Yea the update prior to 3.08 you should be fine. Just note the SD card's below per version. I am thinking older versions than 2012 may have problems unlocking.

Your numbers will be different for your vehicle. the 1st byte 00/04 and the last checksum are all that need be changed.
Forscan may or may not calculate this checksum dynamically i don't remember.

Total checksum is computed as so for the NAV line: 07 + D0 + 01 +02 + 00 + 09 + 06 + 04 + 80 = 16D (only use last two digits)

But yeah adding 4 in hex should work fine as a quick shortcut.

Forscan says it does calculate the checksum automatically.

Success on my 2015 escape ,I‘m In China
For escape ,I compaired the nav/nonnavi
ACM 727-04-01 has no difference
I changed 7D0-01-02 2th hex to 4 to enable navigation
and 7D0-02-02 4th hex to 8 to enable the "speed point warn "
Thanks

NOW we are talking!!!

What was involved with cracking this thing? I really wanna try this out on the A6 card I have right now

[COMpulse]

I can't take any credit for it. Someone here was kind enough to point me in the right direction to find a crack.
I assume XDA frowns on any discussions involving cracking or circumventing paying for commercial software.
With that said, if you want to PM me, I can go into detail.

Got the license file successfully installed in a '15 Taurus! I set the bit in the APIM as noted and loaded the license file without issue after finally getting the URL right. I had to do a regular SYNC update to get the software current enough to work with the URL, so that was a stumbling block for a while. The screen still says "Information" instead of "Navigation" but I suspect there's something I've overlooked somewhere. In any case, the hard part is done, and many thanks to those who did the heavy lifting.

After you change the APIM data it should say insert nav sd card. Then the info is moved to next to the home button

 

[COMpulse]

Agreed. It should say Insert SD or Navigation.

Wrong APIM modification?

 

[jethoss]

My error - that's what I was looking for, but it's still stuck on "Information." The license file is there, now I just need to check the APIM. I might try to set the bit back to 00 again, then reset it to 04 and see if that helps.

Also of note - Forscan does NOT compute the checksum automatically, at least on my installation.

 

[COMpulse]

FORScan claims to fix the checksum but I've never tested it. I always re-calc the checksum. If you're using my AsBuilt tool, there's a checksum calc built in.
