    Hi
    Just joined this forum today so excuse me if i get it in the wrong place.
    I have a S/H 2014 ford Territory with every indication it has built in navigation (SD card reader touch screen etc) Sorry to say some one stole the navigation card. I contacted ford who told me a new card would cost $825 which i honestly cannot afford. I have tried to find an after market card with no luck. I have an Android mobile with maps etc and have been told that i can add the map app to Sync but up to now i have failed to do i do not know why, it keeps saying File not found.
    So can any one tell me if there is some where i can get an after market card or advise me how to put the maps from Android to Ford Sync 2

    It looks like Sync 2 runs on a Microsoft operating system (possibly Wince, Windows Mobile), although they claim it will work with Android smartphones, it is very unlikely to accept maps intended for the Android platform. Was you told that Sync2 can run Android Apps.?

    I have watched so many Utube videos and a lot mention that Android phones work with Sync2. Also i have managed to connect my Android to sync. Not just Pair but get Snyc up on my phone as a wi-fi connection.

    A Windows Mobile device beining able to connect to something running Android is not the same as a Windows Mobile device being able to run an App. written for Android, they are different operating systems

    I am not sure what you are trying to install on your Iphone 12, if you want a satnav App. That runs on the Iphone you could try something like OSMAnd, see link below :-
