Thanks for info. Somewhere between the dash, electrical system and battery being installed and driving the car to the shipping dock. Seriously - it's towards the end of the build process. If you saw it yesterday then it should already be finished except for upfitting if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a dumb question but what is upfitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Thanks for the info. Probably a dumb question but what is upfitting? After the vehicle is built some parts are added in a different location - things that are too hard or too time consuming to do on the production line.

If not, is it installed offsite (upfitting)? Thanks in advance for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 The Navigation is installed along with the dash on the production line. Sync/MFT software is installed sometime after that on the production line IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 IIRC, Sync/MFT software is installed via WiFi as the car rolls down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtech1 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Vehicles with Sync have some differences in wiring from those without. Also, the sync module "APIM" is either inside the dash or attached to the inside of the console. As far as the hardware, it would be put in during assembly of dash/console. The software is done at some point later. Fordmantpw is correct, MFT is programmed via WIFI while rolling down. From what I can tell by replacing APIM's at work, the modules are partialy programmed before they are installed,(VIP). In MFT the CIP and App software is programmed depending of vehicle options, with nav or not, heated seats etc when rolling down the line.
