#F150 stereo upgrade 2011 with sync software

I have searched on Crutchfield - they literally do not give you any radio recommendations, ZERO. Linkswell has T-style radios for 2013+ (they're blessed with it again) but they have no plans for '09-12. The 2013+ trucks with Sync 2 are blessed with the ability to upgrade to Sync 3 that comes with Apple CarPlay whereas 2009 - 2012 trucks are stuck with Sync 1 that cannot upgrade to Sync 2 nor 3.įor those of you who have '09 - 12 and upgraded your stereo, what/how were you able to achieve Apple CarPlay (preferably wireless) in your radio? I know some of you have opted for T-style radio from Phoenix Automotive - I'd love to own one however I've heard it is a hit or miss, their support is not very good, and still have some bugs to work out.

Most likely you have a KG now which introduces more issue.Good morning. I need to know if you have a KG or KF apim. Or we bypass the version and go straight to a newer version and that is possible but requires me to be involved.Įither way te connectivity is due to old TCU firmware.ĮDIT- While in FM hold the Seek forward on the steering wheel and the seek forward at the radio controls down at the same time until you go into a test screen. Your best options are to one swap apims out with one at the correct version.

I can Send you a APIM update to attempt to install BUT it most likely will error out due to going backwards.

It is not supported anymore and cant be activated until it is updated. Second teh TCU is not connecting due to the verison it is at.

It will pull any software as its wrong for the truck You need to get this corrected aspa because IF the APIM current version links on FOrds side youll be screwed. This is due to the APIM being replaced and NOt PMI. You have the version 22087 in the truck the truck is reporting 21233 as the FOrd pass member said. I want to get a mongoose cable and try myself but don’t want to spend the money if it’s not going to work. This is my first ever forum post so sorry if its in the wrong place or seems all jumbled togetherĮDIT: I did try to unplug the TCU overnight for a reset by to no avail. I have included photos of connectivity menu in engineering mode and the FordPass app. I later learned that I could get into the sync engineering menu and learned that cellular is not connected so I’m leaning towards a TCU from the research I have done but just wanted input from you all. I tried to remove it and reconnect it and I kept getting a message saying my authorization rights could not be changed but now when I try to activate I am getting an error immediately after clicking activate saying my vehicle connected features are not turned on which they in fact are. After I sent the truck up there I had an issue with FordPass not wanting to connect, after a few hours it finally activated did but the features never actually worked. It’s a dealer I used to work at and a good friend of mine is the tech so I know they are trying and not just pushing it to the side. Took it to the dealer and they have had it for a week two separate times but can’t get it to update any modules, they said it starts then fails a few minutes in. In the about screen I have 22087_product version 415, the FordPass help line said she sees 3, I’m not sure what those mean but maybe someone does. 2021 F-150 Platinum Sync system that won’t update and now appears to have cellular issues.
