Can you create and run the interrogator log against the unit?.
If so, please share the resulting .xml file (redact the VIN from the file’s name and contents, you can open it with any text editor such as notepad).
I’ve searched for that APIM in our forum, and there are 2 hits: one is this thread, the other one is this: 2014 Escape with 2018 APIM Doesn't Save Settings .
That thread also has a picture for “your” APIM with the exact same information, but a different QR code…
It may be a replacement unit for the China market, BUT I still do not trust it…
In fact, I’m asking for the interrogator log because the one posted in the thread previously mentioned does not read that APIM model back…
So I’m curious to see what yours will return…
