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.

Replacement APIM
Replacement APIM worked as soon as power was applied.
Nice to have radio and car play back after being out for 8 months. -
Sync3 replacement APIM
I was worried about the serial numbers being and older version that the one i removed. This was not an issue and the latest version of software was installed. The package came very securely wrapped with great protection. I wish that i had noticed the return module and military option when i was shopping. I still need to install the USB connector for carplay (old ones arent working). All in all a good deal on a product that works exactly as designed.

Sync 3 APIM
I usually don’t do reviews , but having my screen go black and not knowing what to do or what it was gonna cost or how to fix it , I put faith into this company that my problem would be fixed , updated and fully working again , and sure enough within seconds of installing it worked perfectly… I couldn’t be happier

Performing perfectly
After my OEM module failed and much research and how to videos, I successfully replaced my APIM in about two hours. After installation, it worked perfectly. Thanks......

Fantastic product, would recommend:)
I bought a sync 3 replacement module for my Lincoln Nautilus that had a module failure at 80kms. The ford dealership quoted me $2500 to replace it. I thought I’d try another route and do it myself. I thought this option being much more cost affective was worth a try. It took about an hour to remove the old module with dismantling of the dash a few minutes to swop out the panel and another hour putting everything back together. The new preprogrammed module worked perfectly! It’s been installed for a week now and works flawlessly! I would recommend this company.. this route saved me thousands of dollars ?? thx

So far so good
So far a couple of weeks in it has been working great, I should have done this earlier instead of just suffering without a working factory radio
