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
I have to be honest, I was worried when I ordered this. I was going to have my dealer do this but they said they said the part would not be in stock for 2 months and when they did they would need the car for two days. They also were asking $1200.
What I got from 4D was actually a more recent version than the one I had with the car. It was very easy to install and as their site indicated, took about 5 to 10 minutes to install.
Removing the old one takes some patience as the trim can be a little finicky but there are some good YouTubes out there on getting it done. -
fast shipping worked great
Called with a few questions. Got great answers. So I ordered and got it within 3 days. WORKS GREAT

Sync module replacement
Very courteous and prompt

Very very happy!!!
Note to any readers lol this is a legit review I know we have skeptics out there. I myself was very very happy with the purchase. It worked completely as advertised! Easy installation! It actually performs far better than the one I had even though they are both OEM Equipment. Weighed my options for other options and this was BY FAR the best value!!! Especially with the 1 year warranty which completely sold me along with the fact it came ready to go! I talked about this and the experience to several people so well done 4D Tech!!!!

Sync 3 APIM
Wow is all I can say. I don't think I have every had a company communicate like these guys. I was going to call prior to buying but noticed they were not open yet and emailed instead. I had a response in less than 5 minutes. Ordered shortly after and it was programmed and I had a tracking number in less than two hours. Installed on Saturday and everything worked perfect but the look was different and I emailed asking if it was something with the module or the latest update. I had a reply (on Saturday) within an hour confirming that the change is related to the latest software update. Recommend 100%
