System would always ask for confirmation about updates and wifi activation.
System would always change back to AUTO mode after I switched switch to Night Mode.
System would never remember the WIFI Password
Push to Talk ( on steering wheel ) would always tell me there is no Phone Book.

Just got the confirmation from the dealer that the APIM / APMI is going bad.
They are going to replace it but it is back ordered and they do not have an ETA.

so, create the drive as described in your post on page 27, follow the instructions above, and let it do it’s thing?

then insert separate usb containing 23188 for final upgrade?

thank you - sincerely appreciate you finding and posting a solution!


Late edit! Not used to working off my phone.

Yeah, the information is all over the place, because none of us are Ford employees on an engineering team that can develop a 100% repeatable fix. You get what you pay for (in the case of this forum, free). If you don't like that, you can pay your local dealer to replace your APIM and the issue will go away, until it either creeps up again due to the bug, or Ford releases the fixed build publicly. Nobody is forcing you to to try and piece together posts in this thread, although by my counts several people have been able to. The goal of my input of this thread is to help people who are out of warranty avoid paying Ford $1,000+ for a new APIM when this isn't a hardware issue. Honestly, people like you are the reason I hesitate to even post help on this forum when I'm knowledgeable in a topic, because for some reason I just cannot fathom, people like you find issues with free advice.

1- Jailbreak (did this with a 4GB)
2- Daemon (did this with a 4GB)
3- Memory cleaner (did this with a 4GB)
4- Newest build (did this with 16GB)

As stated, to jailbreak you will need to time it precisely. I did it in my 3rd try. You insert jailbreak- get the error message- soft reset- put jailbreak in- soft reset before getting that error message again.
If completed properly- you will see A MOD message pop up.
Then you can do daemon- takes about 5 mins- will get a message stating installed successfully.
Then you do memory cleaner- takes only a few mins- will get a message stating installed successfully
Then you'll have a clean 22251 build
Then you can either keep that which I don't suggest, or upgrade to 23188

At first I was intimidated by reading all the things you had to do- but Cyanlabs site, and SyncUpdater3 made it easy to do/ broke down directions easily.
FMods was the same.

Now I have the newest build with the newest maps......for free
