With the stock APIM are you able to somehow get the heated wheel to show up?Yes sense I used my original 8” apim everything stays the same only thing and functions as suppose to including FordPass all I had to do was make forscan change
I tried to PM Acagro to see what was done for the second power source from the blue connector on the APIM. I am currently using and APIM for a 12" screen for my upgrade and it has what seems to be additional power that the 8" APIM does not have. Here I am assuming the additional power prongs on cable (ML3Z14D202B) that slot into the 12" APIM were broke off and ran to either fuse 26 or 39 because they are missing from the cable on the blue connector in the first photodid you need two power sources b/c you used the 8" apim? or would the 12" apim need two as well?
yes you are correct sorry work keeps me off the phone but fuses 29 and 36 have to be tapped all the 12" apim does is provide that 12v power to the screen but that same power can be received from the FUSE BOX in passenger side ive seen vids where they get power from other sources and causes issues this is the safest way now if wire is done poorly there will be small issues like screen turning off or color issues so if doing this way make sure to crimp/solder everything right ,as for the ground just use the same ground thats behind the stock apimI tried to PM Acagro to see what was done for the second power source from the blue connector on the APIM.

Thank you for clearing that up a bit. I am going to give it a try this weekend hopefully that will fix my FordPass issue and give me the fullscreen CarPlay since this APIM won't receive updatesyes you are correct sorry work keeps me off the phone but fuses 29 and 36 have to be tapped all the 12" apim does is provide that 12v power to the screen but that same power can be received from the FUSE BOX in passenger side ive seen vids where they get power from other sources and causes issues this is the safest way now if wire is done poorly there will be small issues like screen turning off or color issues so if doing this way make sure to crimp/solder everything right ,as for the ground just use the same ground thats behind the stock apim
honestly if you already have all that set up you might as well just update it with a mongoose cable or one that allows you to update through fdrsThank you for clearing that up a bit.

I’ve been considering that, but I also could return it since I’m within the window and it would be a factory APIM vs a from a used truckhonestly if you already have all that set up you might as well just update it with a mongoose cable or one that allows you to update through fdrs

Cluster: I did this as well if you’re interested. Was easy, plug and play with little programming. I did not buy new dash trim since it was so freaking expensive.
