I remember when you got that. Glad my 2016 Explorer HD radio worked with AS/S with no problems. As Brentkhack says it is an easy forscan change to turn on HD and most of the HD radios have removable brackets so you can swap then with the ones on your original one.

Took my '16 Lariat to the stealership to diagnose Sync issues on 3/4. APIM was found to be the culprit. I picked up the truck that afternoon and had them order the new APIM. The service writer called today and said the new part is in and they will install in about 1.5 hrs tomorrow. Total cost including diagnostics, labor and parts is just over a grand. The truck has 62,000 miles so yay no warranty coverage.

Mine was over $1000 as well. It worked great for a while, but it still has the same issues intermittenly(I am sure that is spelled wrong). I have found most of the time if I turn it off and let everything cycle, when I start it back, it seems to work....

I got my truck back on Friday with the second APIM. I think my third certified letter to Ford and informing them that I filed a complaint with the state got their attention. From what I have read, the APIM has been an issue for about 3+ years. If that is the case it is sad that they have not resolved these issues or have been able to improve their workflow to cut the wait times for warranty claims.
Amazing how patient everyone is with Ford.
