IDS around 1300 dollars and not near as usable as Forscan. You maybe able to find it cheaper.

Can this enable GPS navigation in my STX? I have the 8 inch screen and was wondering if it was just a software enable rather than anything else. I am aware that I can just use Android auto with Google maps, but the stock one that comes on the higher trims would be nice. Thank you.

IDS:
You can buy a VCM II and lease out time to use IDS from websites that partner with Ford. I think it is around a $80 a day, It isnt something most people consider and I havent looked into it too hard.

Hacked IDS on VMWare:
- There are hacked versions you can run from home and find on torrent sites but you still have to spend a lot on a specific firmware VCM II clone. Think of it this way, the licence of the software pairs to a specific licence in the VCM II, so you have to buy everything exactly for your model year and never update the software or firmware. Even for this illegal setup, you will have to buy a specific VCM II clone which is a huge bargain at $1000, but not at all worth it for a vast majority of people. I certainly do not recommend it. I associate it with car thieves and sketchy dealerships and stay away, but it is something you will inevitably encounter when looking for similar programs to ForScan so at least I can warn people of it and tell them to stay far far away from that cest pool of malware.

UCDSYS
- google it but have google translate extension setup in your browser first. They want to sell their product to more people but I feel it is best to leave that one alone too unless if you absolutely understand what you are buying and understand there are no F150 profiles for it.

FoCCCus
- not practical for F150s but it is good to know about. Google that one too.

ForScan
- The best option regardless of potential future costs. It has the largest user base, the most support groups, and is undoubtedly the most functional. IDS can do some things better but unless if you have money to burn you are already in the best place.

thank you! this will be the first thingy I do once I'm confident with my adapter and FORScan.

It depends what you you currently have. If a 15 with Sync 2, then there is a way that is shown in the spreadsheet to add Nav. If Sync 3, I'm not sure if it's possible without replacing the APIM.

While I'm not going to go into detail, most of what you typed in this paragraph is wrong. A good VCMII clone (from a trusted source and not eBay) can be had for $175 and is a good choice for anyone thinking of doing firmware updates with FORScan. It's much better & faster than an ELM27 or ELS27 adapter for firmware flashing.

The UCDS adapter is also great for flashing but buying one is confusing and will take 3+ weeks to arrive. I own two of these and it's my go-to adapter.

Excerpt from a recent email with FORScan dev:
"For example one of our testers recently tested IPC firmware upgrade on Fusion (tried to install IPC from Mondeo and program it). This operation with ELS27 (fastest ELM327-compatible adapter we know) did take 1 hour 20 minutes. Same procedure on UCDS required about 20 minutes."
