Enable the ability to use Ford Navigation keyboard on screen while in motion (Disabled by default)

[Meterman]

Ever wondered if you or a passenger wants to input the address while driving on the Ford Navigation screen but turns out you can't as Ford locked you out while the vehicle is in motion? Well thanks to @Livnitup, we finally can enable this feature! By using FORScan, you can enable this by changing the following steps and as ALWAYS, make a backup of the APIM module before attempting ANY changes so you can revert back to factory when needed:

APIM: 7D0-03-01 -> 5753 - xxx - xx-- (change only the bolded numbers only, leave the "x" alone).

Once you have changed this, you will see it will get a little glitchy at first 2-3 times of cycling on and off. Cycle the truck 3-5 times or until it goes back to normal and you're good to go; this is the only time you have to do this. You can now use the factory navigation screen keyboard while moving. Note; not all trucks will need to cycle more than 5 times. You can also do a hard reboot about 1-2 times if needed but not necessary. Press and hold the POWER button and the ">>" button together for a few seconds, let the APIM and screen reboot to splash screen then let go; you should be good to go.

*do at your own risk.

This mod currently works on the following models as of this posting:
-'21 and '22 F-150 XLT
-'21 and '22 F-150 Lariat
-'21 F-150 Platinum


DISCLAIMER:
Some 2021 and 2022 F-150 owners have reported that 911 Assist gets disabled after this mod is written to the truck. While some owners' trucks are different, please check and see if this option is disabled/disappeared on your Sync 4 screen (Settings, 911 Assist; will be in tile form). If it is disappeared, it's up to you if you'd want to keep 911 Assist. If you do, just revert your changes back from your back up. If you don't care for 911 Assist, no changes needed after FORScan mod has been written.

So I made the change and I’ve cycled the truck at least 10 times and also use the Power and >> to reboot the screen at least 10 times and still have the glitch.

The 1st NAV screen has the glitch too but it does look correct after a minute but the words on the 1st screen at the bottom still are messed up. The search page doesn’t go back to normal.

Any other thoughts on getting it to look correct?

This is a first for me, wow. Try reverting your values back to stock and reboot/reset your APIM in FORScan. Then retry the values again, but double and triple check the lines before you do it. Remember, only change the underlined one, don’t change anything else.

You cant do this anymore. 22228 and some others will cause that you are seeing

Thanks for the clarification Jesse! I’ll update the original post.

Thanks Jesse-Infotainment, I’ll put it back to 5553 which is what it was before I made it 5753. I made a backup of the APIM but it’s just as easy to swap the 5 for the 7. I’ve attached a pic of my Sync version and I’m at 22293, but at this point I’ll just put it back. I can always use the voice activation for addresses.

The more interesting thing is it says I have Blue Cruise until October 2073 LOL.

It's kind of nice to know that I'm not the only one dealing with this Nav issue with KIP displaying in all the navigation pages. I'll revert back to 5553 with Forscan today and see if it works out. Just need to figure out where I go in Forscan to make this change. Can anyone tell me where to make this change with Forscan? Thanks

Yeah, I just reverted back for now. I have not tried Nightshade suggestion of trying to reset the APIM yet and change values again. If you follow Nightshade’s suggestion and it works please update the thread.

Please note; as verified by @Jesse-Infotainment, this mod is now obsolete if you have Sync 4 newer ota (Version 22228) or newer. I did update the first thread saying this a while back, as a precaution. Will update this once another way is found.

Well it worked. I changed the value back to stock and the screen is normal again. Also Alexa is now playing music without saying it can’t play music or radio on this device.

I could use some assistance. I made the changes, and it works, but it's unreadable. I was wondering what I may have wrong.

Restore the changes back from the backup (if you did a backup before writing) and see if that restores it. This change is now obsolete and doesn’t work if you’re on the newer versions.

I did save my settings. Do we know if there is an updated code to make this work?

Negative. I did give it a fair try but not yet. Only problem with this is that it’ll disable 911 Assist.

Has anyone figured out a new way to do this?

I just talk to it and it works great. I'm assuming that is connected to the connected navigation that ends next May for me.
