Same issues 2018 F-150 Raptor
Hello fellas (and ladies) I have a 2019 F-150 stx with the big touchscreen display. I was having issues with it when I first started my truck the ford sign popped on and the reverse camera worked then when I put it in drive it would go black and after 10-15 minutes the screen would slowly come on. Now it has no power at all when I start it. No usb. No power to the steering wheel media controls. Nothing. I TRIED POWER/SEEK FOWARD with no success, I’ve pulled the fuse, I’ve unhooked the battery to reset and nothing is working. Any help would be appreciated more than words could say. Thank you so much

"Lagging" is the hallmark symptom of a dying APIM. With the chip shortages, it's possible they simply don't have an APIM available at the moment. I know there was discussion about Ford shipping vehicles for large fleet customers and leaving certain systems disabled, to be resolved later when the chip shortage resolves itself - infotainment systems were called out as one of these.

2018 stx dead radio
Anyone ever find a solution to this besides replacing radio? Mine has been dead for about a week, the reset does nothing and fuses seem to check out. I had a pos aftermarket stereo/gps I installed in my last truck for almost 10 years and it never failed to power up.

More than likely it is a cold solder joint, which if the boards are uncoated is a simple fix with a heat gun to reflow the solder, but I think the boards in these are encased in Epoxy, or heavily coated for moisture and vibration resistance. Thats the only true fix other than replacement.
