Hey Ya’ll, Yesterday I Upgraded from Sync 1 to Sync 3 and for some reason the volume controls do not work, but the rest of the buttons do work (On the sync 3 and the steering wheel) For what it looks like I think I might need to reprogram the APIM and I might need some files but I don’t know where to get started, Thank you in Advance
Let’s start with what car model and year is your vehicle and what model and year was the donor APIM came from.
On some cars going from Sync 1 you also have to make wiring changes at the FCIM.
My car is a 2015 Ford focus ST (ST1) and the donor is a 2017 Focus ST (ST3). I have the Vin code of the donor car so if that makes it easier to work with
Im aware of the wiring, I purchased a wiring harness and installed it and everything worked except apple pay and the volume controls.
You probably want the AB from a 2016 instead of a 2017.
2016 was the first year for Sync3 and it is before the changes that were made to the Fiesta/Focus/Escape-Kuga in 2017.
So What I would need to do is Find a Vin code of a 2016 focus ST with the Sync3 system and use https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt to get the APIM codes right?
What should I do once I have the ab file from the 2016 focus st? is there specific codes I need to change or should I just load all the ab file to the APIM module?
Backup your current one and load the one your downloaded into the APIM.
Loading a factory AB only loads it into the module you’ve got open, it doesn’t load it into the every module in the car.
Thank you! Will try this tonight and will keep you updated in the morning, I have a few APIM codemodule s from a few 2016’s that I’ll be trying tonight
Click on the car icon up op and than go to the vehicles/Profiles tab. Delete the one you are working on. Then start a new vehicle profile by connecting.
