2017 F250 Cant get radio hard buttons to work after Sync 3 Update

[aacthree]

Updated my 2017 F250 base model (no sync, no bluetooth, no backup camera) to Sync 3 using Ebay parts and 4DTech Harness. Got the following working
-All audio
-GPS/Nav
-Bluetooth
-Android Auto
-Steering Wheel Controls (Lariat wheel installed)
-HVAC
-Volume and tuning knob
-Factory backup camera
-No DTCs or error codes present in any module

Note - still using the original CD player audio controller, dash buttons and APIM were pulled from running vehicle.

I cant get the hard buttons under the screen to work. They either give the wrong action or no action.

I found a VIN of a similar truck (2017 XLT Gas with 8" screen) and used that to get my APIM, steering wheel controls, and loaded the as-builts for the radio and dash control modules from that VIN.

Any thoughts?

@F150Chief this is the same issue referenced here but no resolution was posted.

I did a little more digging this morning, loaded as-builts from a similar 2019 with no love, swapped the FCIM with my old 4” one and the track forward reverse buttons work on that but the 5 way control in the middle does nothing.

4" to 8" swap 2021 f250

I have started a conversion from a 4.2-8" screen the swap has went well everything plugged right in. I got for scan to change vin on FCIM and apim. My problem is that the buttons for the radio on the FCIM seem to be going off the controller for the 4.2 screen. In the apim settings all I have is the option to select between controllers for the 4.2 screen. I have built asbuilt data into the apim and FCIM for the truck they were taken out of with no luck. It’s a 2021 f250xl donor was a 2023 f250 S…

Update - tried everything in the old thread that was linked, no love.

APIM

Tried

0005 0004 00XX

0001 0040 0039

0021 0040 0041

No changes.

This configuration is the best I have found yet. All steering wheel controls work 100% as intended, backup camera works, the knobs on the FCIM work, but the buttons do not.
