Ford As Built Data Deciphering

[ClockWorK]

Just to confirm, did you have climate on the IPC before updating to Sync 3?

Do you have dual zone climate in your vehicle?

Does the Sync screen display all your hvac controls correctly?

How did you update the AsBuilt on the new APIM? Block-by-block or did you flash AsBuilt from another vehicle?

I updated my 2015 Explorer to Sync 3 and have all things working great.
I noticed that the climate control on dash cluster is missing
Does anyone know how to add it back through Forscan?

Ok I am still new to all this but managed to program my car pretty efficiently. My question is has anyone figured out a away to have GPS in motion and travellink (travel link Sirius) still available at the same time. BTW I do have a subscription for the service. When I have the GPS in motion on, then the Travellink disappears. But I got thinking, WHAT IF there was a country code (which supported English Lang) that allowed GPS in motion and Travel Link available at the same time?? Any thoughts on this possibility or has someone by any chance figured this one out???

Thank you @ClockWork for the great work on the asBuiltExplorer. I was trying to upload a few VIN of Explorers but as I enter my login the program raise a stack overflow at line: 63. It does save the ETIS Html, but the asBuilt info submit the forms before I input the captcha. Do you know what it could be?

At some point I need to update the program to wait for the user to enter the captcha.

Ford has changed that site many times. Each time, breaking something in my program.

Is there a way to bypass that step and download the data in a separate browser window and add it to the database or is the program doing other things at this step? mine had issues in the captcha screen as well and appeared to add it to the data base minus the as built data file, but I had to copy the As Built files into the directory with the HTML files, but I noticed the data base didn't display any values for the Model or Year.

I was also wondering if there is a way for us to all share VIN data across the community so we aren't all pulling separate vins from ETIS and instead accumulate a much larger database from all of our data pulls and share based on Make/Model/Year and help each other out.

Last question, how does the app determine features within a model? is it digesting ETIS data to build that feature set that shows in the feature tab? I wanted to do this for Explorers and only want Features available on those to be listed so I'm not trying features form say a Taurus or F150 and also with the above see if the Community could work together to build a more complete list of settings and values like is available on the F150 (I'm a little jealous of their spreadsheets completeness!)

Yes, there is a workaround. Copy the VIN to the clipboard. Use the Internet Explorer to open this site. Enter the VIN and captcha. On the next screen press "Download File", select "Save as" and save the VIN.ab file in the deducer folder of ASBuiltExplorer. If the menu of the Internet Explorer is not visible, press the Alt key. Then select "File" "Save as…". In the file dialog leave the marked filename untouched and press Ctrl-V to exchange the marked filename with the VIN. Now you see three files beginning with the VIN. Select the VIN.ab.html file, press save and confirm the requester to overwrite the existing file. That's all. I recommend after this to check if AsBuiltExplorer is still working right with this additional data. If not, then something is wrong and you have to delete the added VINs in the deducer folder. Maybe Ford has changed something on the webpage or you have not used ETIS with english language.

Thanks I thought I did something very similar to this but I'll try again. In my attempt, upon adding everything to the folder I could tell I had added the VINs but it didn't appear to be populating features or the Model and Year on the files I added. I'll try cleaning out that folder and adding a few new ones to see if I can get some different results. I can confirm that I was using English and was downloading the AB files manually from the website and copying them over to the folder as that was the file missing.
