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.

    Replacing the Sync2 module

    Posted by Frank on May 7th 2021

    I was very impressed with the installation video that you provided, via YouTube. I took my time and completed the job easily within an hour.

    Thank you!

    Posted by Michael Schadtle on May 6th 2021

    Thanks for the module replacement. Everything was as advertised and installation was a breeze, shipping was fast all at a fair price. (The dealership wanted $550.00 just for a non programmed unit + a trip to the dealership for a $150.00 to program job). 4D Tech was far better deal it was literally “plug and play” took me 20 minutes to complete with my 3 year old grand son “helping “. The only slight disappointment was I did not realize I would have qualified for the first responder discount until I went back to the website to write this. Any how thanks again.

    Very happy, highly recommend

    Posted by Hollie on Apr 26th 2021

    This is exactly as advertised and in this day and age that's not something I say often. It was packaged extremely well. Additionally the instructions included as well as the video were easy to follow. Installing was a breeze and only took about 30 minutes (not an exaggeration, it literally took 30 minutes). The dealership was going to charge me more than the part for labor alone. If you have even the slightest inclination, you would save yourself a lot of time and money doing this yourself. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

    Exact fix I needed

    Posted by RC on Mar 29th 2021

    Finally pulled the trigger on ordering the APIM replacement module. So glad I did. Followed the video to replace the unit and installation went smoothly. The new module fired up and fixed the "black screen" problem. Couldn't be pleased more with this purchase! Thanks 4DTech!
