The problem with the video is that it is not built as as 'Install Navigation On Sync 2 For Dummies'.so I have added the following pictures and text as a guide so you have the items and software you need and do the right steps in order.ġ) As stated in the video you will need an OBDII ELM327 connector to plug into your OBDII port as well as into your laptop (and you will need a laptop computer by the way). The answers are buried in the mountains of comments on the video (which the video's owner does answer quickly and generally thoroughly). Just remember, as I found out, there are parts of the video that have been snipped out and leave you questioning what you missed, why things aren't working and what to do next.

For those of you out there that have a Sync 2 equipped Escape or other Ford (meaning you have the 4 quadrant screen larger screen and don't have the small screen), you can basically activate navigation with a little electronic tinkering.
