Black screen after update (car is from 2017 but unfortunately APIM was from 2021)

Hi guys, please help. I have a Ford Galaxy made in 2017 Sync 3 EU region with maps. The update via Syn3updater ended badly with a black screen. After reading a few other similar posts, I started to suspect where the mistake was. I took the center panel apart in the car to look at the APIM unit markings. Unfortunately, the APIM is from 6/2021. I had no idea that the 2017 car had a new 2021 APIM unit, I’m the second owner and didn’t know about it.

What now? Is the only solution really to throw out the APIM unit and buy a new one? If so, can you please recommend a proven source so I don’t buy the wrong one? Obviously, I prefer the lowest possible price.

I want the APIM unit to do at least the same, to have maps and not have less memory. How do I find out how many GB my destroyed APIM unit drive has?

I will send more photos of the APIM unit.
Thank you very much in advance, I’m desperate :frowning:

Hey, sorry to hear that.

That APIM part number is already flagged as MY20 in Syn3Updater, but thank you for the pictures.
This means that Syn3Updater could had identified it if the interrogator log was ran against the unit.

Since the screen is from 2017, you only need a new APIM.

Now that it’s dead, sadly there’s nothing else to do but to get a new one. Since you are in the EU, it needs to be 64GB.
