Hi CyanLabs Team,
I’m looking for guidance on rescuing my APIM after a failed firmware update. Here are the details:
Vehicle: 2013 Ford Focus ST
VIN: 1FADP3L98DL206587
APIM - Accessory Protocol Interface Module
Part Number: GB5T14G371CFC
Calibration Level: GB5T14G371CJU
Strategy: GB5T14G374AF
Issue
During a firmware update attempt, my APIM became unresponsive. The screen stays black with no Ford or SYNC boot logo. The module is still detected via diagnostic tools like UCDS and ForScan but it will not start up.
Request
Could you help me find the correct firmware rescue files compatible with my APIM hardware and calibration level?
I would also appreciate a download source for those files and any recommended steps or precautions for flashing with the rescue method so I can avoid further issues.
I have already reviewed your APIM Firmware Flash Rescue guide here: APIM Firmware Flash Rescue but I cannot find where to download my specific firmware set.
Thanks in advance for your help and for everything you do for the community.

Navigation Variant: Nav
Manufacturer Year: Pre MY20
