This happens in my truck with Nav as well.

Default Another successful upgrade

Module installed, used trim tools to pop the port out, and the software went in with no issue. Now I need more mobile apps.

I much prefer the Sync nav version, as I find I frequently glance down to check cross streets, but rarely ever enter destinations. I wish CarPlay functioned in the same manner.

Yes and I prefer Google Maps over both. But I am not going to get a android phone just for maps. Oh well, can't have everything we want...

Can someone link the instructions again? I read through 10+ pages and unable to locate the files. Most of the links were dead. The only one I found that worked took me to the Focus site and there was only 1 file. I tried it and it didn't work.
