FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 

  • Q – “My screen is dead / black and I get NO audio - will this product fix my issue?”
  • A – In most cases, yes. Some vehicles are prone to the APIM failing causing a blank screen. If you have a black screen and no audio, this will likely fix the issue.

  • 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 3"

  • 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. Contact us for replacement information. 

  • 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. Contact us for replacement information. 

  • 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.

  • Q – “Will this kit void my factory warranty?”

    great product easy install

    Posted by Jose on Oct 12th 2020

    My screen was sluggish and Bluetooth would drop constantly. My unit came with GPS originally but I never use it I use my phone instead. I requested without GPS supplied my VIN number and package arrived quickly nicely packaged for protection with quality OEM Ford product inside. Installation took less than 15 minutes. I hope I don't have to but again but if I do its going to be from here

    Replacement Sync 3 Module / APIM

    Posted by Bruce Kenneth McLean on Jul 31st 2020

    Purchased a 2018 Ford Edge that did not have the NAV function. Looked at various options and the module from 4dtech looked like a good option. Received in a very timely fashion and the install was a piece of cake. Hardest part was removing the two pieces of trim that provided access to the first set of screws. Key is to start at the bottom and carefully work your way up. I already had the plastic trim tools and took my time. Once they were off it went very fast. Module works great and my wife is one happy individual with the NAV function working. Very pleased.

    Completely satisfied

    Posted by Allen on Jul 30th 2020

    Definitely a good purchase. After only 38,000 miles on my truck (2,000 miles after the warranty was up), the computer features had all kinds of issues. I followed the video to replace it and had it up and running in 10 or 15 minutes. Everything now works perfectly.

    Finally fixed my bluetooth issues

    Posted by Jake on Jul 20th 2020

    I don't review things often but this APIM is great. My bluetooth had been dropping randomly for over a year on and off and driving me crazy. On a recent 11 hr road trip something happened and nothing on my radio worked correctly. Bluetooth dropped every 10-15 min, GPS didn't work, system lagged several seconds on every command and I knew I had to do something. Reset the radio several times but no luck. Looked around on the forums and decided my APIM needed to be replaced. This product came quickly and was easy to install. It feels like I have a new car because my radio actually works now. If you're having the same issues, get your APIM replaced and you'll be happy you did. If you can pop off trim pieces you can install this product.

    Worked great. Easy to install with the plastic dash removal tools. Got stereo back after a year with a trashed APIM from factory "Panasonic Unit".
