2025 Expedition Tremor (Saudi Arabia) - Ford Digital Experience without Google Maps / Play Store

[bigmhmh]

Hello everyone,


I own a 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor delivered by the official Ford dealer in Saudi Arabia.


My vehicle has the new Ford Digital Experience system running Android 12.


Everything else works normally:

• FordPass works (remote start, lock/unlock, vehicle status)
• Vehicle Connectivity is active
• Wi-Fi is available
• Software is fully up to date

However, my system does not include:

• Google Maps
• Google Play Store
• Google Assistant

Interestingly, there is still a menu called “Google Assistant & Voice”, but it says “No digital assistant”.


I would like to know:

1. Is the Middle East firmware different from the US firmware?
2. Is Google Automotive Services (GAS) removed from Middle East vehicles?
3. Has anyone successfully converted a Middle East vehicle to the US feature set?
4. Can this be enabled using FDRS, APIM programming, or another method?

If anyone owns a US 2025 Expedition with Ford Digital Experience, could you please share:

• APIM part number
• Software version
• Build number
• Photos of the About/System Information page

I would really appreciate any help. Thank you!
