Please excuse the ignorance as I am new to this website, the Forscan program, and working with projects like this. I have a 2015 Ford F-150 XL with 4.2" screen.
I bought an eBay SYNC3 APIM and 8" screen, harness, and bezel from 3 separate sellers. I have successfully installed all of the hardware including a USB hub and GPS antenna. I am having a few issues with DTCs and functionality and cannot determine whether there is a programming issue or something else. I greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer. I can also upload the AB files if needed.
DTCs:
APIM U0184:00-0B
APIM U0238:00-0B
Issues:
Factory backup camera doesn’t work. I get a blue screen then a message to see the dealer.
I initially had no bluetooth audio, but this came back after changing a value in 727-01-01. Now, there is just missing audio for certain things like Waze navigation in Android Auto.
Turning the temperature control knob shows a blank temperature icon on the screen. Not sure this is normal. I have manual controls.
The equalizer in the sound settings menu will not save and resets once values are changed. Assume this is related to others.
I am guessing that the audio issues are likely a value change in Forscan for something related to the audio module or APIM. I see different things about Sony or not and various options like CD but am not sure what is set incorrectly.
For the camera issue, I seem to have found varying information on whether this is a programming issue, whether the harness is mis-wired, or whether the SYNC1 camera is even compatible at all.
The ebay seller of the APIM was able to fix the audio issues with voice commands, gps voice, and equalizer. It was an APIM setting.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on the backup camera? He thinks it may be an issue with the harness and whether the camera is getting power. Are there any wires to check?
The cause for this can vary.
As an example, most 2016 models that came with Sync3 have to have the USB media hub replaced for CP to work correctly.
Another known issue is whether an intermediate update was done to 2.2.x when updating from 1.0.x to 3.0.x or not.
The audio equalizer and prompt volume issues are fixed with some Forscan BCM changes but I still have a blue screen for a backup camera. The USB hub was replaced.
I have a feeling the camera has no power from an issue with the harness but am not sure the best way to verify based on other threads.
