Updating APIM Firmware (Calibration Files)

FORScan will only spec the factory listed compatible files for any module.

That is the firmware number…
If this is the original APIM in the vehicle, 2016 Focus, it will be an older APIM hardware. The newest calibrations are not meant for the older APIM’s.

You will need a paid version for firmware updates. The latest is 2.4.6.

You can try putting that on the APIM but although possible it may fail. But in reality, there is no benefit for you to load the new firmware since your vehicle and APIM can’t support the feature set. However, that is up to you.

To find the firmware for your vehicle and APIM version:
APIM Firmware Production Releases - Ford / Information - CyanLabs Official Community
APIM Firmware Flash Order and Region Information - Ford / Information - CyanLabs Official Community
This would be what I would recommend, based on the year of the vehicle. Again, I don’t know the version of APIM you have installed.

3.2/3.3 APIM NAV & NON-NAV Unit Firmware (Production Release, 2018.5, Late J thru K Series)
