hey folks, i assumed when i bought my f sport that it would have had the nav option. but oh well silly me.... anyway, there is this scout app that i downloaded that is supposed to work with the cars display. but i cant seem to get it to work? does anybody know maybe what i am doing wrong? i have the iphone 7 plus.
Pair the phone and open the Scout GPS Link app. Be aware that there is also a Scout GPS (not Link)
that works while hiking or biking but is not the one you need here. Turn the center console **** around
to "Connected Navi" and press down. It will instruct you how to connect. You will now have two different
ways to use Scout. When you are not in the car you can open the app and look up destinations that will
be used once driving. When you are in the car and the phone is hooked up you will see that the app is
just solid black w/Scout Logo. Now all the functions are on the dash display. If you have the 2018 you
will need to also connect with a USB cable to enable moving maps. With either 2017 or 2018 you are
urged to keep it connected because Nav Apps use a lot of phone battery!
Latest wrinkle in the iPhone/Scout universe is that the latest update, iOS 11 is not
cooperating with the Scout app. We can not undo the update so we are going to
have to wait for either iOS 12 and/or Scout's next update...
If you are using Scout link and App Suite 2.0, you should get a actual map when tethered through your USB. If you are using a Iphone you actually have to keep Scout link up on the phone screen for this to work.

Scout GPS link will work if the Scout GPS link app is not active on the screen, but you will only get the Turnstream mode. To get the Mapstream mode, you need to have the USB cable plugged and the Scout GPS link active which will show up as a black screen with icon of phone and car.
The phone screen will look black with simple phone and car icon when scout GPS link app is active and the car is on.

Did you experience that when you plug the usb to the phone it automatically disconnects your other usb? I’m trying to use the scout gps map on he screen but when it’s conected, my other USB port with music gets disconnected and can’t play music and show maps together.

Yes, only one port can be used for data transmission at a time. Both will still charge devices.
