Hi all,
I was inspired by some of the posts on these forums and pulled the trigger on upgrading my 2015 1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta to Sync 2 with navigation. I'll be writing the guide here on how to do it (to the best of my memory), as well as the sources I used for information.
Here's the beginning part for those who want to collect the parts needed, and I'll work on getting the wiring details up this weekend.
Parts:
APIM + Screen (The screen for Sync 2 is different than Sync 3, so keep this in mind)
FCIM: I don’t know if the part number I have is for the whole assembly or not. You need the whole bezel and vents.
Bracket: D2BZ-18888-A
Top Cover/Trim: D2BZ 58042A82 DA
USB Bracket/Trim: D2BZ-5804567-EA or D2BZ-5804567-EB (Depends on color)
USB Port: HC3Z-19A387-B (Sync 3) or C1BT-14F014-AD (Sync 2)
USB Cable: D6BZ-14D202-A (I think. Please confirm before purchasing. I just used an extension and cut some plugs to make the old one fit.)
Harness plugs: https://www.ebay.com/itm/54P-Female...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
This will make your life MUCH easier than without.
12v Plug: D2BZ-19C149-DC or D2BZ-19C149-DD (Depends on color)
Sync 2 only – Navigation Maps SD Card: Check what the current version is. As of the time of this writing it is Maps Pack A9 for USA/Canada.
Wire: I used 22 gauge wire, though Ford has various sizes listed, this has been working for me.
Female connectors for building APIM plugs: I used a pack of one hundred of DH-PIN/F-P25. (Note these didn't fit the pins like OEM, but I haven't had any issues with them not making a connection. Ford sells connectors, but they are super expensive. If you find a better solution I can update the post with your suggestion.)
Wire Markers (NOT required, but is RECOMMENDED): 12-2210 (I think I used 3 packs), and 12-2211 (I think I used 2 packs). Your amounts may differ since I didn’t use the Harness plugs.
Wire connectors: Whatever works for you. I used something like this: https://www.delcity.net/store/Vinyl...yAvLlB4QWYgZW7sRzYd5DJCWr-LujOtUaAmXkEALw_wcB
Wiring for Sync 2 audio input: If you can find a pig-tail that would be ideal, but I don’t know which one to use. I used jumper wires.
Wiring for Sync 3 USB: Pigtail part # CU2Z-14S411-AA. Jumper wires would likely work in a pinch.
GPS antenna for Sync 3: From what I've read, any Fakra GPS antenna will work.
Laptop for Forscan: An extended license is required http://forscan.org/
OBD2 reader: I got this one.
USB Drive (Sync 2 only): To upgrade non-nav unit to have navigation.

Wiring information is very similar to this:

Fitting new bracket:
I didn't take photos of fitting the bracket, but this is where you need to make cuts to make it fit:
![]()
After you're done it should look like this:
![]()
There are also two "fin" looking pieces that stick up that hold the radio. You'll need to cut those out as well. This will make sense when you take the radio out.
Replacing old USB module with 12v module:
This part is pretty easy. Remove the old one (looks like this):
![]()
and replace it with the new 12v Plug: D2BZ-19C149-DC or D2BZ-19C149-DD (Depends on color)
Plug the power supply to the back (the only plug that fits), and you're done with this part!
Fitting new USB module bracket:
I was surprised on this part. There are three holes that just need to have the plastic filler punched out (three circles on the right in the photo). This allows three tabs from your bracket to fit nicely. The center hole is to feed your wires through to the USB port, and the two on the left are for the clips that hold the bracket in place. The two for the clips are the only two that I felt I needed to be semi-careful with.
![]()
Insert your USB Bracket/Trim: D2BZ-5804567-EA or D2BZ-5804567-EB (Depends on color). I had to remove mine a few times to shave the clip holes to allow the clips to fit snugly. The new USB plug will click in, but don't do that until you've wired everything up.
Complete APIM wiring and reassembly:
Follow the original USB cable's path through the center console and have your new wires for the USB hub follow the same path. For the USB cable itself, D6BZ-14D202-A is what I think the part number is. Please confirm before purchasing. I just used an extension and cut some plugs to make the old one fit.
I didn't install Sync 3, so I don't know where to put the Fakra GPS antenna. If anyone knows let me know and I'll update here.
To fit the APIM plug behind where the new APIM needs to go, I pulled the hose seen in the second photo above and ran it through that space, then replaced the hose where it belonged.
Plug everything in and check that everything works. The screen will say "Performing scheduled system maintenance," so if you see this don't worry. Check to see that the following works:
Compass, radio, steering wheel controls, 12v power, front control panel (volume knob and such), USB ports, and if you installed Sync 2, check that the SD card reader works.
If these all work, put your car back together because the rest is software driven.
Program with Forscan:
I'm no good at this part, but here are some resources:

Add navigation to Sync 2:
Navigation can be added to Sync 2 units that don't already have it. You'll need a maps pack SD card, and to follow these instructions:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/general/guide-enable-navigation-cars-sync-2-0-t3484473
The first time I tried this it didn't work because the update file I downloaded was no good. If you have the same issue just look for a difference source for the update file.

I think that's it. I did most of this from memory, so please keep that in mind. I also had the wiring diagram book at my disposal (it was $30 on eBay), which was a HUGE help. If anyone discovers mistakes or better ways to do something in here, please feel free to let me know and I'll update the post.
Enjoy!
