I bought an aftermarket APIM to add Navigation. Everything works as advertised most of the time. Serius locks up, no sound, Navigation doesn't work or is lost, auto seat/steering position when starting doesn't set correctly. It does some of these things, not all at once though. They are all intermittent. Will a software update, a firmware update or a new apim be needed?

 

What did the seller say when you asked them about the issues?

If you bought one of those APIMs from eBay stores out of China, you probably got old hardware with a fake sticker showing a recent production date. If that’s the case, purchase a new one from a reputable seller.

If you bought it from a reputable seller, they should be able to assist you through the issues or replace the unit.

Also, aftermarket means non-OE hardware. You got an OEM replacement.

 

Yes, as far as I am aware, there are no "Aftermarket" APIM's . . . however, if you need a good, working Navigation APIM, I have one from a 2020 F150 for sale

 

do a restore or update google cyanlabs lets see what happens if you dont want to do that send me the apim and ill see if i can fix it

 

do you have the acm?

 

I have 3 2019 ACM's--one from an XL that is just AM/FM and 2 that are AM/FM with SiriusXM, but no HD Radio--all three will work in either a 2019 or 2020 F150

 

Purchased from a U S company. Out of warranty, just barely. I still have the OEM apim. Just without Navigation.
