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.

    Exactly the Right Part For the Job!

    Posted by Richard Mellor on Aug 29th 2018

    The part was delivered on time and well packed to avoid damage. Their online video and printed instructions on how to replace the module were spot on! 20 minutes later, I had my touchscreen back and never lost any data or settings just as the video said it would.

    Works as expected

    Posted by Todd F. on Aug 21st 2018

    My old APIM has been flaky for years and finally died for good. It took me about 20 minutes to install this one and I saved about $500 over having the dealer do it. I've been satisfied.

    Perfect Fit

    Posted by Emmanuel Sallah on Aug 1st 2018

    I thought I had a big problem on my head when my screen went black. When I called ford, they told me to bring my car in after 2 weeks since they were fully booked. That alone was an inconvenience aside from going to leave my car there till they had diagnosed the problem. Then I went online and found 4d tech. Every information there seemed too good to be true so I had a chat with their rep online. After being convinced, I ordered the product, which arrived in 4 days. Following their instructions, I removed the faulty APIM and fixed the new one and to my pleasant surprise, it started working when I powered my radio on. I am really impressed. It did not even have to be programmed. Very convenient. 4d tech, gracias for saving me. Ford would have smashed me to bits.

    Perfect match

    Posted by Rick on Aug 1st 2018

    I ordered this product to save the hundreds of dollars the dealer wanted to charge to replace the APIM in my 2011 Ford Edge with navigation. I was able to replace the module in less than an hour. I spoke with Steve about other issues I was having and he was a great source of information. These folks are doing a great job!

    Easy installation

    Posted by David T. on Jul 5th 2018

    Everything about buying the APIM was easy. Checkout was easy... the hardest part was to get the VIN on my car. But, it was worth it to ensure the APIM had the correct software. Communication about shipping was great and I could easily track it. Most importantly, installation was easy... just like on 4Dtech's Youtube video. My Ford dealership charges more than $1000 for this repair. I easily saved $400-500 doing this myself.

    Works perfect!!! So happy!

    Posted by Matt on Jun 16th 2018

    This part went out on my wife's ford edge and we took it to ford were they wanted close to $900 to fix it with no warranty, I started looking around and found this product from 4dtech and liked the price and having a warranty. We received it within a few days and was simple to replace with a few hand tools and a small amount of mechanical knowledge. It works perfect and actually has some updated features. I would recommend buying this instead of paying Ford for this easy, direct replacement part.
