toast1850 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hello, I recently swapped out Sync 2 MFT for Sync 3 and noticed the "scan" option was missing on radio stations and Sirius XM. The scan option was always available on Sync 2 so if I was listening to the radio and didn't know a specific station I could just press scan. That also applied if I was listening to Sirius XM stations. I have a 2014 SEL. Can anyone confirm if that option can be enabled via Forscan or did Ford remove the "scan" button on Sync 3? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vankingma Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi, does it not scan when you press the seek button? Also, can you post your APIM forscan codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1850 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi, If I press seek it will go to the next available radio station but it will not continue to seek. Basically, I can manually tune or seek to a station but I don't have an option on the screen to continuously "scan" like I did with Sync 2. Below are my apim settings - 7D0-01-01 2221 0002 230F 7D0-01-02 8289 0006 0A21 7D0-02-01 5553 0A04 4087 7D0-02-02 0200 8000 005D 7D0-02-03 0005 E1 7D0-03-01 0000 0300 005E 7D0-04-01 0100 0200 09E2 7D0-04-02 0001 DE 7D0-05-01 1BA3 1B9B 2B7C 7D0-05-02 C5A3 7D0-06-01 809E 7D0-07-01 0800 3300 001A 7D0-07-02 0000 186A 0062 7D0-07-03 0056 5685 0012 7D0-07-04 7052 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vankingma Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 From looking at mine, I don’t have the scan feature either, it may have been removed. Incidentally, do all of your other features work correctly? (ie. heated seats, climate, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1850 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yes as far as I can tell everything else works fine. There is one other thing I noticed. Anytime I adjust my fan speed from the main screen it will not show the current speed level unless I go directly into the climate screen. For example, if I adjust my volume for the radio it will briefly pop up on the screen with a number. But if I adjust climate fan speed it never shows the level of fan speed. I can see it however when I go into the climate screen. I have an SEL that has the turn knob below the volume knob for fan speed so not sure if that matters. The fan speed used to also show from the home screen on Sync 2. Any ideas? Maybe it is a bit value that is wrong since the 2011-14 edge has three different control panels?

vankingma Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Interesting..I can point a link that has a lot of information for the explorer/sync 3, which is similar to us, but my climate so far has not been working almost at all. I can use the physical climate buttons (same interface I think, 2014 SEL), but the climate screen doesn’t display temperature or allow changing its controls. I suspect it may be an issue with having not changed my media hub yet, but otherwise I’m not sure. the link: https://www.icloud.com/numbers/0AtiYU-yJ4Nrfyfuzp-Mi0l8A#FORScan_2011-2018_Explorers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1850 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I don't think the media hub has to be changed in order for the climate screen to work properly. My apim was pulled from a 2017 Explorer so I had to make quite a few changes to get everything working properly. My understanding is that you can still keep the old media hub wired but Sync 3 will warn you every time you start the vehicle that it isn't compatible. Most of my APIM settings were a combination of my own as-built data from Ford's site and some from a 2017 Edge as-built pulled from a used auto website. I just pulled up a 2017 SEL with similar features to my 14 SEL and most of the values were accepted in Forscan. And yes thanks I am familiar with that site because I had to go there for some settings. If you are having trouble with your climate you could probably plug in my settings above and see if that helps. I can interact with both the screen and physical buttons and everything works. Just be sure to backup your original values before you change anything. Otherwise you will have to go to Fords site and enter your VIN to get as-built values. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vankingma Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Wow your codes worked like a charm, thank you for that! I also like the use of the Lincoln theme, I may keep that. I think my issue may have been with the steering wheel control, I hadn’t been using the one with CGEA1.2, but had been using CGEA1.3. That fixed a lot of issues! Sorry I’m not as much help as you’ve been for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1850 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Happy to help. Good to hear it's working now. I really like the lincoln theme also, but don't like the lincoln splash when I exit the vehicle. Maybe there is a way to keep Lincoln theme and use Ford splash. I guess I'll tinker with the settings until I figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mallon Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 The screen stays somewhat backlit after shutting car off, I get the ford logo on shut down. But the screen stays lit just a bit, I also do not get a startup splash screen so I assume it’s not working correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vankingma Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 5 hours ago, onyxbfly said: What is different between the Lincoln theme and the Ford theme? Thanks in advance. The difference is mostly color scheme. The Lincoln theme is a more brown/Amber scheme instead of the ford white/blue theme. IMO, the Lincoln theme is easier on the eyes. The tradeoff is that it has a Lincoln splash screen when you turn off your car, which feels a little lame when you, in fact, do not drive a Lincoln. I can still sleep at night with that choice, so I kept it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vankingma Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Okay @Tim Mallon here is my apim and acm. I don’t think the acm should affect it, unless possibly if you upgraded your acm too? My ACM is non-Sony and only door speakers, so you I’d you have Sony, I probably wouldn’t change the ACM according to mine. Let me know if this works for you! Also, do you have push to start or keyed start? Mine is keyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast1850 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 @vankingma Could you kindly post your settings for the automatic temp control in Forscan? I think the value in Forscan begins with 733-01-01. My fan speed doesn't show on the screen whenever I make adjustments and I noticed you have a 2014 SEL also. I would greatly appreciate it.

vankingma Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 @toast1850 I have only changed APIM and ACM settings, so I’ve just taken a picture from my asbuilt from ford. If you want to check with yours to make sure you have the original settings, you can enter your vin at https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt But here is mine as well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1850 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 @vankingma Can you confirm if your fan speed displays on the main home screen if you adjust it? My audio volume will briefly display on the main screen if I turn up or down the volume but not my actual climate fan speed. I was curious if yours works properly. Most of my values match yours but I have had to make minor changes since my Edge had the 4" Sync screen. I hope this makes sense. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vankingma Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Oh I see what you’re saying, I do have volume rotary on all screens, but I do not have a similar one for fan speed, and I didn’t know whether or not to expect that. I see the normal indication on the climate screen, but that’s it. Sorry I didn’t realize earlier. If this is a feature other vehicles have, it could potentially be specific to the different climate system in the vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1850 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 So you are seeing a brief icon/indicator pop up on all your screens if you adjust the rotary knob? Lets say you are in the Navigation screen, if you adjust the rotary knob for fan speed does it briefly show on the screen? Or does it know show anything unless you actually go in the climate screen? Thanks. Just trying to understand correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vankingma Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 No, I’m not. For fan speed, I don’t have that temporary display, only for volume. On the climate screen I can see the “permanent” fan speed indicator change, but that is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vankingma Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 And no problem, of course. Is this a feature you’ve seen on other Sync 3 vehicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
