Ford Ranger with Sync 3.4 without NAV move to Sync 3.4 With NAV

[sevilla404]

Hi guys.

I'm the owner of Ranger 2020 XLT with Oem 8' Sync 3. Some months ago i upgraded to sync 3.4 2388 but here is were i have a question. I enabled "testmode" and some options enabled are for "nav" features like satellite positions and signal measure from satellites. Currently, my Sync 3 doesn't have Oem nav features, so i use my Celular with Android Auto to enable NAV from google. So, my cuestion is: Can i enable NAV make the upgrading again to my Sync 3.4 but including the NAV features version?

Thanks!

Depending on if you have Sirus XM and have the proper part number (Shark Fin) antenna it would be a matter of just finding a APIM that has NAV capabilities.

It is not just a simple - software load, but the thread below may offer so guidance, now he already had a Lariat, but I assume your truck might be set up the same way even though it's a lower trim.

I got an APIM from 4dTech.com it works great, it has come down in price since I bought mine.

I would honestly just stick with using android auto on your phone... i have the factory nav and its slow, not to mention i refuse to pay ford 200 bucks to update the maps... I almost never use it

Sounds good. Some months ago i though buy an used NAV AMPIM but before do that i said: "It's just nav system.. i can do it from my cell"

I read somewhere that the non-nav units couldn't be upgraded to include nav because there isn't enough memory in them to store maps and such.

Not to mention almost 20 years outdated when shipped. Tried to use car play one time and phone and truck refused to play nicely so I used the built in navigation. It took me down a road that I don't go down because part of if closed in the early 2000s. Sure enough, it was trying to route me onto the closed section and I had to reroute a way that I knew was open.
