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.

    Easy install

    Posted by Troy Arnett on Apr 9th 2019

    I ordered this replacement after my dealer quoted me $1200.00 to replace my APIM. I saved $500.00. and it only took me 20 minutes to complete. Everything is now operating better then it ever has, phone, navigation, stereo, climate control and voice recognition all working perfect. Well worth it thankyou 4dtech.

    Easy to install

    Posted by Laken on Mar 14th 2019

    This is awesome! I took my car to the dealership and they quoted me over $2000 to fix my radio. After googling for a little bit I came across this site. I was skeptical at first but I’m happy I made the purchase!

    No trip to dealer

    Posted by Karen on Mar 5th 2019

    Fixed the black screen of death, we had no radio, no backup camera, no seatwarmers, etc. Dealer wanted a day and over $1000. Took my husband about 25 minutes. I highly recommend!

    Wow!!!!

    Posted by Buffy on Nov 8th 2018

    When my screen went black last week I was pretty upset...after troubleshooting all weekend with no luck I called dealer on Monday to learn that WHEN they had availability they would diagnose ($$ I already did) and then if I was correct on issue it would be $900 with no warranty and no guarantee on how long I would be without car. I found 4dtech.com and called them... Brad guaranteed that the part would fix my problem...I ordered (got 6 mo SAC via PayPal) but messed up on entering my VIN... I called Brad back right away and he told me how to reply with correction...when I did I asked a shipping question and a lady called me back in less than 5 minutes...in less than 24 hours I had my part and then in less than 1 hour my car was fixed!!! I wish all companies took lessons from 4dtech.com because their customer service is fantastic, their step by step video is perfect and product saved me hundreds!!! Thank you 4dtech.com

    PERFECTION

    Posted by Christy Hotchkiss on Sep 13th 2018

    I am a 39 year old woman, who usually has husband do all things to do w/ taking things apart, etc. This was SO easy with the help of their youtube video and instructions. Arrived next day. Prompt replies to my emails. Dash works perfectly now. The only issue I had was that it stopped working and I checked fuses, and replaced the one that is for the SYNC, and haven't had an issue since. So, if you replace your module and it stops working after you install, check your fuse #29.

    excellent product

    Posted by None on Sep 8th 2018

    Received the unit with great detailed instructions. Very simple instructions. I was amazed that I actually did it myself without having to go to dealership to install. Dealership wanted $500 just for install. Thank you for helping me save money. I'm glad I found you guys.
