Hello,
I have Escape 2021 from USA. I tried, with all possible consequences, to change the region and install latest update with maps.
My error was that it used auto format, and now the screen is black and Forscan shows Incorrect Component installed error. Is there any way to fix it? Also, I bought second APIM, but with different ending- mine was -AC, this was -AB. Seller told me that it is working, but when I connected it, it shows No initialization error. Maybe anyone able to help?
SYNC Region: NA
Navigation Variant: Nav
Manufacturer Year: MY20
Install Type: OEM
Old SYNC Version: 3.4.20120
New SYNC Version: 3.4.21388
Do you have a error message, if so what is it?
Incorrect component installed
Your vehicle is a 2016 Ford Escape according to the profile.
The APIM is likely original to the vehicle, GB5T-14G371-BFC. This is a NON_NAV APIM. You cannot put maps on it. If you have a black screen it is because it cannot boot properly or is out of storage or memory. The only way to repair this is to jailbreak the unit and delete the maps with the FMods tools, if that even works due to the lack of storage. Otherwise it is likely the unit cannot be repaired.
The APIM firmware is old…
GB5T-14G371-BFC;GB5T-14G374-AF;GB5T-14G375-BA.
The unit you show in the pictures is NOT the APIM, it is the ACM, CJ5T-19C107-HB.
It has nothing to do with this.
