Sync 4 Japanese language

[AbdAlrahman9989]

Hello

I have 2023 F150 Raptor originally from Japan

The sync 4 has only Japanese language
And no option to change it to English

Is it possible to add it through Forscan

Regards

There are settings for country code in multiple places.

In Forscan?
Where? Could you please share the number?

@AbdAlrahman9989, In the APIM, change first letter to 55, second letter to 53. That's for country code "US"; start with that as not all country codes are recognised by the APIM.

In addition to that, change the country code in the TCU to see if the modem will work.

Now I'm going to have to try that for me in Oz ??

Saw FordPass users in Australia posting on Ford website forum. I'm guessing cellular signal is not going to match up but can't hurt to try. ?‍

Precisely; the Aussie TCUs connect to any available carrier (we have 3: Telstra, Optus, Vodafone) as the Thai-built Rangers do here, so it's most likely a different TCU entirely, but i will give it a go ?

I suppose you could keep a cellular hotspot in truck and connect truck to it via WiFi. Might work? ?

Thing is, the TCUs here use the carriers' networks for free ?. Rather use Google maps and FDRS than pay more for FordPass "features" ?
edit to add: ford nav is free as well, but... meh

I don't disagree with that at all.

Let me know if it works. Just curious.

Doubtful without AT&T network in Australia even if modem is capable of the local cellular frequencies. A physical or eSIM necessary to get on network would likely require dealer to activate. ?
