Qwertytheking Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hey All, Much like a lot of you I just took the plunge and updated MFT to Sync 3 in my 2012 SEL. Its a super easy change to swap out the units, and I've got it mostly working thanks to all the resources on this forum! I am having issues getting the last few APIM settings right and need some help... My biggest issue is that my clock is not working/saving time and the sync3 and dashboard times are not right. I am also having an issue with getting the ambient lighting to change, I see the option in Sync 3 but the controls don't actually do anything . I've been using these two spreadsheets for the Explorer and F150 to help figure out what values to change, but I must be missing something... https://www.icloud.com/numbers/0AtiYU-yJ4Nrfyfuzp-Mi0l8A#FORScan_2011-2018_Explorers https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uDSQ1Z5a2Wt8-kjrSiVSlDFGFHnfeuhb3RTMVz95730/edit#gid=0 Can anyone help? Having a working clock is important! This is what I have come up with so far... 7D0-01-01 2229 9002 21D5 //needed to set these to 9 or my voice/phone button on steering wheel wouldn't work... 7D0-01-02 0283 0200 0A697D0-02-01 5553 0004 0086 7D0-02-02 0200 8800 00657D0-02-03 0000 DC7D0-03-01 014E 3402 00607D0-04-01 0103 0300 09EC7D0-04-02 0001 DE 7D0-05-01 1BA3 1B9B 2B7C 7D0-05-02 C5A3 7D0-06-01 805E 7D0-07-01 0800 3300 001A 7D0-07-02 0000 186A 0062 7D0-07-03 0056 5685 0012 7D0-07-04 7052 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 It's been awhile, since I tinkered, but here's my final program. Your steering wheel should work with these settings as should your Ambient light. 7D0-01-01 2A21 0002 01277D0-01-02 0283 0006 0A6F7D0-02-01 5753 0B04 C0D3 - If you change 5553 to 5753 you can enter addresses while moving, but, you will lose 911 assist.7D0-02-02 8240 8000 005D7D0-02-03 0005 E17D0-03-01 0100 0002 00DE7D0-04-01 0100 0300 09E97D0-04-02 0001 DE 7D0-05-01 1BA3 1B9B 2B7C 7D0-05-02 C5A3 7D0-06-01 805E 7D0-07-01 0800 3300 001A 7D0-07-02 0000 186A 0062 7D0-07-03 0056 5686 0013 7D0-07-04 7052 I would keep 7D0-04-01 through 7D0-07-04 alone. Although our vehicles seem very close. I am curious though, if you plug in a USB or use a BT device with music, do you see it on the right hand side IPC panel under entertainment options? I think the firmware on our IPC is too low, so it cannot recognize devices connected through the new APIM and USB hub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 You can always try this to fix ambient lighting as well. Although, mine works with the same settings as yours: 7D0-01-02 028B 0200 0A69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwertytheking Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thanks! I've been playing with this some more today and manged to get the clock to work, using a combination of what you provided and I had. I haven't had a chance to see if ambient lighting is working yet, but getting the clock going is a good start. I have the same problem as you with the audio sources, I only see Sirius, AM, FM, and CD under the IPC options. It doesn't give BT as an option, it also doesn't update if I play anything over android auto and still shows the radio information which is weird. Maybe this is normal for Sync 3 but did they remove the favorite phone contacts? I don't see that listed as an option under the IPC either. This is what I have right now. 7D0-01-01 2A21 8002 01A77D0-01-02 0083 0200 0A69 //I tried 008B in the past and it didn't work either 7D0-02-01 5553 0B04 40D1 7D0-02-02 0200 8800 00657D0-02-03 0000 DC7D0-03-01 014E 3002 005C7D0-04-01 0103 0300 09EC7D0-04-02 0001 DE 7D0-05-01 1BA3 1B9B 2B7C 7D0-05-02 C5A3 7D0-06-01 805E 7D0-07-01 0800 3300 001A 7D0-07-02 0000 186A 0062 7D0-07-03 0056 5685 0012 7D0-07-04 7052 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwertytheking Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Just to close the loop on this, I think the settings above are going to be my final settings. Everything is working now. I even noticed that even though i can't select Bluetooth audio from the IPC, it will now show the song info if i back off the entertainment menu and go back. Thanks all for the help.

candurin Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Correct. All the items will display in the IPC once theyre playing, however you can only select BT or USB species from the sync 3 screen itself. Radio, satellite and CD can still be selected from the IPC. Its because the firmware of the IPC is too low to recognize sync 3 impute (cd, radio and XM are part of the ACM and therefore unaffected). No big deal as the hassle for updating firmware is not worth the effort (plus theres no guarantee it would work). Glad the clock worked. Let me know if ambient light is working again. Id i remember, I had to turn it on from within sync menu the very first time and havent touched it since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwertytheking Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Yeah I don't know if i want to mess with trying to update the FW on the IPC, its pretty usable as is. I think the ambient lighting was always working... I was just trying to change it when the door was open, which I guess you can't do. Shows how much I use it . At some point I just need to get the new USB hub and then I should be 100% done. Overall its a pretty easy change, and I am liking it so far.
