So my order finally was delivered and install was no issue until mounting the 13.2” but the air vents coming from the 10” screen are not wide enough with the bracket so I took that off for now. Got everything hooked up.
Issues im facing is siriusXM is not loading but nav is working and the vehicle does show active satellite data going through the testsettings.
can’t control rear HVAC on the screen and I had it locked before the swap so those are stuck on high heat full fan.
Bluetooth shows up as F250 if that matters.
Apim needs programming. Get with Jesse infomation

You need the APIM program. The Sirius XM will work but the wrong code is in the APIM.

Tried accessing the APIM and it won’t load on FORScan under a new profile. Try to use a saved profile and it doesn’t detect the module and errors out. I pulled battery cable last night until this morning and it’s still not showing.

You don't have 360 camera either?

Nope no 360, reverse braking or in car wifi
after being able to have time to look through things I was able to get it to speak with the sync4 APIM.
Still having issues with SiriusXM, sometimes it works, most off the time it just says loading.
Navigation both native and through CarPlay gets lost, noticed the compass also doesn’t work accurately, (will say south when heading north, east instead of south). With that “intelligent” cruise control is intermittent but will work once or twice randomly.
can’t pull up rear-climate controls and before the swap I had the rear controls locked out to prevent the little from messing with them and now I can’t change it.
Visually, when changing temp or volume the circle pops up but doesn’t show any changes or current values.
The APIM seems to have listed any and all options that could be made in any vehicle which is so helpful…. it’s also pulling an error saying communication fault with the telematic unit to be expected.

This upgrade sounds like a headache but I'm familiar with programming. I need to get my hands on this setup of my own
