Upgraded my non-nav APIM to Nav APIM

As you requested! It will only let me upload one at a time.

This is my old APIM and I am taking your advice and returning the new APIM.


When I reinstalled the old one everything started working again. But the APIM still doesn’t show up in forscan. How can I get it to show up again? And where should I look to buy a nav APIM from?

Sorry, but LOL… Look at that sticker!..
You can never go wrong by following f150chief’s advice…

That’s why I’m taking his advice y’all have been doing this longer than me. The only thing I want is that in-dash navigation. I hate Google maps and all the 3rd party map apps I can find is all the same. Lol

Make a new profile in FORScan with the old unit installed.

The new unit with the paper stickers looks like an unreleased unit from the assembly line. I’ve seen this before from the Mexico facility where the units that fail are recycled. This one looks like it made it out, probably not legally. If the seller will not refund your money, file a complaint with Amazon and tell them you suspect this is stolen property. Send them the pictures and take a screen capture of the add on the Amazon website. They will take care of it, they are pretty good with that. They will refund your money and then go after the seller.

Okay, quick update. I received a full refund and bought one from eBay. I received it and it works perfectly! Navigation, buttons, mic, and soforth work great. I’m in love lol! But forscan still does not load it. So I tried a different laptop and still nothing no APIM. Is there something in the ACM that i need to change for it to show up? (I mean it is working wonderful) I’m just not sure why it doesn’t show up. Is there another software that I could use besides forscan or fdrs? Fdrs is too expensive.

Do you have any DTC’s in the vehicle?

You need to create a new profile with FORScan.

@christophercote1
Did you resolve your issues?

Sorry for not getting back right away. Yes, I got everything working. Creating a new profile did nothing. I was reading how to reset the bcm and it said to disconnect the battery for 20 minutes. I did that at a last resort. It worked forscan shows the apim now! Now I’m just trying to figure out the siriusxm traffic. I’m subscribed but it shows unsubscribed. And updating the maps from 2.2021 to 2.2023 gives me a sgin_01 error. I might just leave it.

The license came from the sync 3 Downloader from this site. Might be a bug in the software.

What map version did you download?
The license for the latest maps on this site will not work with your vehicle with autoinstall, as the newest maps are VIN/ESN locked, and you cannot use reformat on a MY20 APIM. The Ford version maps will not work since you have a replacement APIM.
You would have to use reformat mode to install the latest maps, but you have an L series APIM so that is out of the question.

Run the Interrogator Utility in the Syn3 Updater and post it here.

The newest maps that will work for your APIM are the NA 2.20, which do not have the license restriction.

Okay, I’ll run the utility and try to post it tomorrow evening. I noticed the radio ID is different maybe that’s why traffic doesn’t work quite yet.
To answer your question I downloaded the newest one v2.22.

EDIT: I looked up the OEM info, the SiriusXM UID shown above is original to your vehicle. So it’s the right one. If the SiriusXM UID is different than on your account, it will not work.

You have the most current maps (NA 2.21).

okay, here is the log.
