FORScan: Add compass heading on 2016 Interceptor?

[blob19]

I wanted to fork a new thread off of this one, so that I don't hijack it:

BCM code to allow rear hatch entry?

stroker70 was able to add the compass display on a 2014, using: IPC 720-01-02 changed from 8E11 4C03 1931 to BE11 4CF3 194D

...but my IPC 720-01-02 is not 6 bytes long

also from the IPC diagnostics mode, it looks like I might not even have the hardware compass installed:

I stumbled upon IPC 720-02-01 xxxx xxxx xFxx and found that this causes the temperature to display next to the odometer. Close but no cigar!

Does anyone know if:
a) 2016s have a compass installed
b) How to enable the display of the compass

I don't think PIUs got the compass module unless Sync was also ordered.

Is your IPC line 720-01-01 currently at C420 4064 20? If so, try changing 20 to 60. This should enable the compass. Only vehicles with Sync including a compass or a GPSM will have compass data.

I updated the spreadsheet with a few more options too on the Interceptor Utility tab- https://www.icloud.com/numbers/0AtiYU-yJ4Nrfyfuzp-Mi0l8A#FORScan_2011-2018_Explorers

Yes it is. I tried that change but still no dice. I think I need the hardware module. I tried searching fordparts.com for compass, but I get "0 parts found". Anyone know a part number, or what it looks like and where it's mounted in the vehicle, so I can check a junk yard?

See my post above, the signal comes from Sync and is sourced by the GPSM

You'll need the wiring harness as well, it's not a simple addition

I forgot to mention, I searched for the GPSM (GPS Module?) and couldn't find one on fordparts.com.

I wasn't able to find anything GPS related on the parts site I searched either for the Interceptor 3.7L but did for the 3.5L when I searched for "GPS module". It show the antenna. http://parts.autonationfordwhitebea...antenna-and-radio-scat/?part_name=gps-antenna

Is that the GPS unit that is mounted under the center console?

I can't be sure about that. Looking at the diagram, it would appear that is where it might be but everything I've read (posts) seems to indicate that the GPS module is behind the instrument panel in the dash.
