Go to owner.ford.com and at least get the truck to version 3.0.

I got mine from EBAY Cheap, knowing I'd have to program NAV in using FORScan, But never thought about the version Sync 3 was running. Would using my As Built file from my truck, then programming "Nav with USB 2" help?

Loaded my as built 2016 file and changed Code to enable Nav, icon shows up, "nav not functioning" error. Meh

Not sure what this means, but Sync isnt showing a map version, that's blank.

what is the part number on the apim. My guess is you have a non nav one even though it was listed as nav. If it had nav it wouldn’t have to be programmed to enable nav.
