FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
- Q – “My screen is dead / black and I get NO audio - will this product fix my issue?”
- A – Yes. The 2011-2014 Edge and Explorer (and others) are extremely prone to the APIM failing causing a blank screen. If you have a black screen and no audio, this will fix the issue - guaranteed.
- Q – “My screen is dead / black but I can still hear and control the radio - will this product fix my issue?”
- A – No. If the screen is black, but the radio plays and you can control the track / volume from the physical buttons, then the issue is likely the touchscreen has failed.
- Q – “I can see what is being displayed on screen, but the screen does not respond to touch input - will this product fix my issue?”
- A – No. The touchscreen has failed and requires replacement. See our "Replacement Touchscreen for SYNC 2"
- Q – “I get the error "Entertainment Unavailable" and I cant access any music sources. Will replacing the APIM fix this error.”
- A – No. This is an issue with the ACM (Audio Control Module). We do not sell these.
- Q – “I no longer get audio from any of my sources (AM/FM/XM/CD) but the touchscreen still works. Will replacing the APIM fix this error.”
- A – No. This is an issue with the ACM. We do not sell these.
- Q – “Does this need to be programmed at the dealer?”
- A – No. We pre-program the module using the VIN you provide at checkout.
- Q – “My backup camera does not work, will this fix it?”
- A – No. Backup camera failures are common. If the backup camera is not working, it will need to be replaced.
- Q – “If I update my Sync system using the Ford SyncMyRide website, will that cause the navigation feature to be deactivated?”
- A – No. A consumer installed software update will NOT affect this navigation upgrade.
- Q – “Will this kit void my factory warranty?”
- A – No. This kit will not void your vehicle warranty. Although Ford will not warranty the components in our kit, we do for one full year!
- Q – “Will this kit affect my SiriusXM subscription?”
- A – No. SiriusXM subscriptions are NOT affected by our kit - your SiriusXM ID will remain the same.

Worked but required calibration
They programmed and shipped very quickly and worked like stated. Only thing I can say is you may need to calibrate your touch screen after installation if button presses don’t line up. Pretty easy to do just look up the buttons to press on line.

Ford Replacement Sync 2 Module / APIM
I found this part and how to install it on a YouTube video. It was not until much later that I realized the video was made by 4D Tech. Ordering from 4D Tech was easier and cheaper than purchasing directly from the dealership. Now, cheaper does not mean a less than worthy component. It means the dealership prices are absurd and the cost of the part does not include labor. So, I ordered the part and used my VIN # so it could be calibrated to my vehicle--again, another service the dealership would charge me for. When the part arrived, I referenced the YouTube video for its installation, and voila!, my APIM module is running like new. I had ZERO issues installing and even received a prompt response when I emailed them about returning/discarding the old part. I highly recommend 4D Tech! Thank you!

This product is exactly as described and has worked perfectly. I upgraded my APIM to include navigation and it works perfectly. Wish I had found this company long ago.

Success!
We installed the sync module into my 2011 Ford Edge within minutes of it being delivered. It worked perfectly and I now have my Sirius radio, navigation system, and back up camera fully functioning and updated. Thank you for the quick delivery of a great product!

Radio Not Working
After trying all the soft and hard resets to get my radio screen working, I watched a video where the guy recommended this APIM from 4D. I opted for the upgrade for navigation and everything showed up 3 days later as promised and was a breeze to install. In fact, it has been the easiest thing I've found so far to fix on my Lincoln, and it only took a half hour from start to finish (**but watch a video first on how to do it if you're not familiar with the process**).
