Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Programming Using the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • If a new Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) is being installed, install a new APIM before carrying out the following procedure. For additional information, refer to INFORMATION SYSTEM AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM .
  • When carrying out the programming procedures, follow the scan tool on-screen directions.
  • Make sure the battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps.
  • A hardwired internet connection is strongly recommended when programming.
  • If unable to complete programming because operation stops or errors are received, internet browser settings may need to be configured.
NOTE:
  • For APIM flash programming:
    • The scan tool and a USB male A to male A cable (CCMUSB2-AM-AM-10 or equivalent) are required.
    • The flash procedure deletes any paired phones that were in the SYNC® system.
    • The file for the flash needs to be downloaded from the online database. Allow for extra time for the file to download. The files are approximately 80 megabyte.
