So, now the dealership says the APIM fixed the screen, but that the audio module is shot, and they have to order that, which of course is backordered. I didn't get the exact name of the module, but they said something about it being located under the car near the back, and even they thought it was a strange place for an electronic part that is likely going to get wet. Has anyone else had that issue?
Finally got it back. And everything works. Yay!!!! It's like having a new car after not having the screen or audio for 6 months.

Having read all this, I am wondering if using the right interface (J2534) would it be possible to just reprogram the APIM (or the F-150 APIM) to resolve the problem?

It’s possible? I would love to see someone try to fix a failed APIM just with a software re-flash and report back. :unsure:

I have a feeling my tech would have attempted that on mine, if it were possible, because he had to program the new module after installation, too. 🤷‍♂️

Be careful as many have different preamps and then you’ll have an electrical problem on your hands.
