Focus MK3 APIM firmware update
Добавлено: 11 мар 2021, 16:35
Hi All,
I have just taken delivery of my new UCDS adapter. I have never used UCDS before but my first task is to update the firmware on my APIM to enable the calm screen on the 3.4 Sync 3.4 update. I am in the UK.
My car is a Ford Focus 2014 MK3 which initially came with Sync 1. This was recently retrofitted with Sync 3 that came from a 2016 Focus MK3.5 donor car. After install, the latest build of Sync 3.4 was installed using the Cyanlabs installation. Everything works fine including Park Assist etc. The only thing I do not get is the calm screen. For this, I am told the firmware needs to be upgraded on the APIM.
I connected UCDS and went in to the update wizard. I initially selected Focus 2011-2015 but by doing this I just got an exclamation mark next to the APIM basically telling me it couldn't do anything with it. I then remembered that my APIM came from a 2016/2017 Focus so I selected Focus 2015.25. It then tells me my APIM firmware is current and does not offer any upgrade firmware.
I know my firmware is not current so not sure what I am doing wrong.
Can anyone walk me through how I should be doing this as it's my first time using UCDS and there seems to be very limited documentation.
The above are the details I get from Forscan. Just didn't want to use Forscan as I have read horror stories of problems with it's firmware upgrade process. I was recommended to use UCDS.
Many thanks in advance.
