bostintransit

I was initially hoping I could just replace the radio, but that's when the dealer told me it wasn't the radio but the APIM that failed. Even without the radio the backup cam has been spotty, so I think we need it working. I'm going to see if I can get the dealserhip to spill the goods on what part I need - it seems like my only option.

@Don Ridley to answer your first question - I don't think my car has SYNC at all. My panel (the radio portion) looks exactly like the one in your picture, but I don't have any sync capabilites that I know of. The most I can do is connect to the radio with an Aux cable.

Don, That's very helpful, although frustrating that it's so hard to figure out the part that I need. I actually contacted a guy on ebay last night because he was selling radio units from wrecked transits and asked if he had the APIMs from them as well. I'll take any recommendations you have for junkyarr sites. Buying used saved my ass when I dinged up one of the mirrors - I was able to get the parts for waaaay less than the dealer was quoting me. Unfortunately, I'm not very comfortable working on cars, so I don't think I'm capable removing the radio to see what the part number is. I may see if the dealership will tell me so I can buy it this way.

I love my transit but a while back the stereo stopped working. There would be awful popping and static and then it just cut out. The dealer says the APIM needs to be replacead and it will cost $750, which is annoying because I thought I woudl just need to replace the stereo and maybe could get something better than the stock (non-touchscreen) one that I have. I'm trying to figure out if I can do this cheaper than going through the dealer, like finding a used module and having that ins talled, but it's hard to figure out which part I'd need and I don't think the dealer is willing to tell me specifically if I'm not going to pay them for it. The best I can tell, this is what I would need: https://www.oemfordpart.com/oem-parts/ford-control-module-ge8z14d212aa?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9c291bmQtc3lzdGVtJmw9MTAmbj1TZWFyY2ggUmVzdWx0cyZhPWZvcmQmbz10cmFuc2l0LWNvbm5lY3QmeT0yMDE0JnQ9eGx0JmU9Mi01bC1sNC1nYXM%3D The thing I'm not sure about is that it still references "SYNC", which my card doesn't have. I that the right part? Thanks!
