Hi All,
Brilliant community btw, been reading up loads and trying to debrick my APIM after the official Ford downloaded on usb resulted in a black screen on my 2016 Ford Ranger (2011).
I was on - Sync 3 - Version 2.0 - Build 16074 (2.0.16074)
Update was trying to install was the Sync 3 - Version 3.0 - Build 23219 (3.0.23219) via usb Ford official Download using VIN.
I bought 2 types of leads and after a while struggling with ports and setup got a working reliable combination and can read and write to the modules and APIM sucessfully.
I can get the APIM to talk and write firmware to it, however I can’t find the files i need. Have been searching online, multiple places, Forscan won’t let me download this particular one, i have seen people request them recently and was wondering if anyone can share them with me if possible please..
Here is a similar post requesting exactly the same:
Can anyone help and kindly send me GB5T-14G374-CD if possible please? I can’t get through Forscan with my VIN but it lets me download others, which is a typical! 
Thanks in advance

Do you have a error message, if so what is it?
I reset the various error codes, and left with APIM not DTC communication, but I can reprogram it, then reboot, then do an ASbuild write on it and then fully communicate with it, but cant get the screen to turn on and have read that I can unbrick with the CD file..
