apim module identification help
I have 2015 ford f150 xlt with ford my touch---- iwant to change the apim module I found one on the junkyard of a 2016 ford f150 4x4 for $100 how do I know if that module is sync 3 ----this are the numbers it has -----afs28snl12000--fl3t14f239ce----yu5m01jx---06-02-2015----
The part number you supplied is for Sync 2/MFT.
You need a Sync 3 screen as well as the APIM if you’re trying to upgrade to Sync 3. The screens between Sync 2/MFT and Sync 3 are not interchangeable.
As far as physically dropping in, you need to take the brackets mounted to the Sync 2/MFT screen and swap them to the Sync 3 screen; the assembly then goes into place and uses the same connector as Sync 2. You also need a separate GPS antenna for a Sync 3 setup.
The VIN number is pulled from other modules and does not need to be programmed. You may, however, need to use Forscan to adjust the APIM As-Built to match features of your particular truck.

Chances are are you will also not find a Sync 3 APIM for $100 if the scrapyard knows what they have.
