I would like to add navigation to my 2015 F-150 with 8" MyFord Touch (SYNC 2). I searched this thread for "navigation" and read many of the posts. I see people mentioning that it was once possible and now people are missing out...something about the 3.8 update. Then I see more recent posts about people adding it successfully. Is it still possible to add navigation currently?
If so, does this plan sound correct?:
1. Get the OHP Ford ELMconfig USB device (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F0GVBWY). I see the OBDLink MX Bluetooth is recommended, but I can't see spending $80 instead of $30 if it's not necessary. Not going to be constantly tweaking settings/making changes. Just want to enable navigation.
2. Buy a Ford A7 map SD card on eBay for around $60
3. Get FORScan and follow the instructions in the spreadsheet under "Add NAV to 2015s". Does this particular setting need the FORScan extended license?
Just want to verify this still works and the above is the correct procedure before I buy the items. Thanks!

It looks like you were able to enable NAV on your truck? I am thinking about going through these steps as well but a little confused. I have an XLT but don't we need a GPS receiver for NAV to work? Is NAV still working on your truck?

Using the values in the spreadsheet I changed it so my 12 volt would stay on. It did work at first but now it seems to be unreliable and turn off when the trucks accessory does.
Any updates on this or is it better to do the fuse trick instead of forscan for extending 12 volt power when the truck is turned off?

Robbieg is right, that won't work. You'll only see a few modules with that one because the majority of the modules are on the MS-CAN.

I have the single zone climate and when you change either the fan speed or the temp setting a momentary pop up appears on the sync3 screen. My fan speed that pops up on the screen indicates correctly but when i make a temp change it shows the temp pop up but does not indicate any temperature setting. Does anyone know what the forscan setting is so the temperature indicates correctly?
