Will This Fix My Problem?
Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't.
Fixes:
- ✓Black or dead SYNC screen
- ✓Constant reboots or freezing infotainment
- ✓No audio, no backup camera, no navigation
- ✓SYNC that refuses updates or is stuck mid-update
- ✓A used APIM that shows the wrong VIN or wrong features
Won't fix:
- ✗Cracked screen glass / display hardware — that is a screen, not the APIM
- ✗Amplifier or speaker faults downstream of the APIM
- ✗BCM/body faults — see the Ford BCM service
- ✗Vehicles we cannot confirm SYNC config for — send the VIN first
The right hardware AND the right software
A SYNC swap fails on two axes: the hardware has to match, and the software/as-built configuration has to match your specific car. A used APIM off eBay almost never nails both. We source the correct module for your VIN, load the correct SYNC version, and apply your as-built data so navigation, camera, and features all light up the way the factory intended — then ship it ready to plug in.
Shipping Instructions
These details are also emailed to you the moment your payment clears.
Nothing to ship in — enter your VIN at checkout (and tell us your current SYNC version if you know it) and we source, program, and configure the APIM to your vehicle. It arrives ready to plug in; some cars want a simple master reset on first boot, which we walk you through. Outbound shipping is selected at checkout.
What to include in your box
- Nothing inbound — supply-a-part service
- Your VIN (required — programmed to it)
- Current SYNC version, if known
- Proof of ownership
- Your shipping address and phone number
