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.

2018 Ford F-150 Sync 3 8” No Nav APIM replacement
Dealer wanted $1350 to install a new APIM and was nearly going to pay it just to get back my radio, backup camera, Apple Car Play, etc. Mine was FUBAR! It worked only in the morning when the truck was cold. When the truck warmed up it wouldn’t boot up. Even soft boot and master reset and hard boot did nothing. So luckily I found 4Dtech and read the reviews and took the plunge. So happy I did! I literally ordered an APIM 10 minutes before the Friday shipping deadline and got an email that evening said it was shipped. I nearly fell over when it arrived Saturday around lunchtime. Installed it myself after watching a YouTube video. I did it in less than an hour. I qualified tech probably could have done it in 15 minutes. All I needed was a 7mm driver and a couple normal screwdrivers. Now everything works and software is latest version 3.4. Thank you 4Dtech! You made my day with your fast shipping and saved me about $800!

APIM Replacement
I’m not big on writing reviews so when I do, I hope they add value. I was very skeptical about spending this much on a part and installing it myself. I was frustrated with the Ford dealership, I couldn’t get a straight answer from them on labor nor would they tell me if this part was in stock or on backorder, they would known until I paid them. So I took the leap, placed the order here and watched a couple of videos. Shipping was very quick and I was able to install it relatively quickly, 1 beer and very few cuss words. Very happy with the speed and the ease of install and shipping. I would be kicking myself if I paid more than 50 bucks to get this part installed.

Replacement SYNC 3 Module / APIM
Car dealers try to put buyers off non Ford units. I can say without reserve that installing was easy and it worked perfectly after installation.
