Updating APIM Firmware (Calibration Files)

hm. interesting. But i have 32gb Sync with NAV. Looks like FORScan has detected my module incorrectly and is trying to program wrong calibrations.

send vin

I took the APIM out of my car and it is labeled hs7t-14g370-gce.
A little higher, F150chief sent a list of necessary vbf for NAV APIM 2017 MY, I found these files, I’ll try to upload them to APIM tomorrow.

You should use it with the updated firmware.

You should use the 2017 NAV APIM files.

3.0 APIM Navigation Unit Firmware (Production Release 2017-2018)

Can you PM me the HB5T-14g375-DA file. I’m hopefully looking to open the fordpass connect Icon.

I don’t have that file, but you can use the -FA version for NAV units. It is posted above.

I tried that file an it Fails to install it.

Then you probably have HB5T-14G375-CA loaded?

Did you add a TCU?
If you did, you should update to:
3.2/3.3 APIM Navigation Unit Firmware (Production Release 2018)
GB5T-14G376-AA
1U5T-14G374-DA
1U5T-14G375-DA
GB5T-14G379-AA
JB5T-14G379-BA

I did add a TCU. Trying to get it up and Running. Do you suggest to do the files one at a time in any specific way?

Which part number TCU?

Do not use the latest FORScan 2.4.4 for this. Use 2.4.3 as it is stable.
Use a good USB adapter. OBDLink USB is recommended, and highly advised if you program APIM or TCU firmware.

You will need to load the files at once. You may have to reload the Illumination file if it black screens. If it does black screen and just will not cooperate, use this to recover.
APIM Firmware Flash Rescue Gen 2 (H-2017).txt (1.2 KB)

Once you get the APIM up to this firmware, we need to look at the firmware on the TCU. It is best if it is current, like -CR version. You need the APIM and TCU on current firmware releases to get the real functionality from FordPass.

Once that is done, you can activate the TCU with all the nice features.

See your PM…

Seems to always Error out on the 375 file. I have all Flashed except that one never takes.

Power reset the APIM. Pull the battery cable of disconnect the fuse…about 5 minutes.

Ill try That tomorrow. But the TCU is JL3T-14G229-AA but I don’t have the option to do any firmware upgrades on it for some odd reason. I suspect it is because of the APIM not being up to date. I dont know the donor Vehicle either. I got it off EBay.

Looks like this but just -AA version?
It indicates Cert Model TCU-B2 on the label? (This is US cell network)

Once you installed the TCU did you rescan the vehicle with FORScan and create a new vehicle profile? You need to…

The APIM firmware will not prevent the TCU calibration. You will need to update this TCU to the new firmware. This is version -CR. (-CS is the newest nut I have not tested it so I would not recommend it.)

See your PM for the TCU firmware…and programming instructions.

The problem could be the GB5T-14G374-AF file you are using. If it is the Ford file, it has a bad addressing block. Use this one which is corrected…
