Yeah i used everything from motorcraftservice but in the end still didn’t work and don’t know why but everything else worked fine. I have changed it because i wanted to update the firmware did something wrong and it wen’t blackscreen and forscan didn’t recognize my old APIM, still have the old one at home though.
Some asbuilt is different between 3.0 and 3.2+ likely your old APIM was on 3.0 or below and uses different asbuilt to the 3.2+ one.
Could be possible yes. Maybe that explains why even my navigation has “no gps” symbol. I even changed the gps antenna with oem new one and still has problems.
Can you post you APIM asbuilt, please?
For the black screen, as long as the unit is not MY20+…

2017 Focus RS
My stock APIM was:HM5T-14G370-GNG
The new one: KR3T-14G370-CLB
Both should work without issue, however, the KR3T-14G370-CLB is a US version APIM which has only 32GB of storage, so you will not be able to install full EU maps.
Thank you i will test it then. For storage that’s interesting. Because the new one has 64gb of storage and EU maps installed without issue.
Could you run the Interrogator Utility on it and post the results here, please…the rear tag identifies this as a 32GB APIM. Also, the model number vs assembly number year codes do not match.
Where did you get the asbuilt above? Is this the original for your vehicle?
EDIT: This APIM is from a 2019 Ford Mustang with the 4" screen. The asbuilt for this unit will not work for you, you will need your original asbuilt for your vehicle. The APIM will work, but unless it was modified you cannot put EU maps on the unit. Hence why I need to look at the Interrogator Log.
Did you send it back already? You should…
Yes that is the original asBuilt for my VIN. It worked flawless until GPS issues and was skeptical. Need to search my computer if i have still the file from Interrogator utility. I’ve bought the new APIM from ebay he told me it was rebuild. Cuz of the gps issues i have send it back, it still has warranty.
So at this point you have no working APIM for the vehicle? What is the status?
KR3T-14G370-CLB is not listed in our hardware database.
So, based on what F150chief said, if the APIM should be 32GB based on the model but you installed full EU maps on it, then we cannot trust the sticker. You said the seller told you it was “rebuilt”, or something like that… Maybe the back plate if from another APIM… Who knows…
That’s why the interrogator log is important, because it will read the model from the APIM itself…
Is this the APIM you returned?.

Yes the APIM i posted is send back and i’ll wait till he sends it back and i will post here the update.
Here are some pictures from my stock APIM that got blackscreen after trying to upgrade the firmware.
Edit: No working APIM and my RS is disassembled until the working one arrives lol.
While you wait for the new one you could try to recover this one. You will need a paid license for FORScan to program the firmware. Totally up to you…
Yeah sure i will try it tomorrow. I have a paid license for forscan. The last time i tried it couldn’t find APIM in forscan but maybe it will work this time.
Rescan for modules when you connect…
If you did not already make sure you delete your old vehicle profile and make a new one any time you swap modules.
Thank you for your help guys. I will try it then.
You are the man of the unknown APIMs… Your original one is not listed in our db either…
