Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Programming

APIM  programming is a process that updates the APIM  Consumer Interface Processor (CIP) and Vehicle Interface Processor (VIP) software. The VIP  programming updates the calibration files in the portion of the APIM  which interfaces with the Controller Area Network (CAN). The CIP programming updates calibration files in the portion of the APIM  that interfaces with mobile phones and other customer devices.

APIM  programming uses the VCM to read and program the VIP  software through the Data Link Connector (DLC). A web-based On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) application is used to read and program the CIP software via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable between the scan tool and vehicle USB  port. Both the VCM and OASIS  application must be running on the scan tool during APIM  programming. To carry out APIM  programming, refer to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) PROGRAMMING  in this information. To carry out APIM  software level check, refer to DRIVER INFORMATION SYSTEM & ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM .
