Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Programming - 4.2-Inch (107 mm) Screen
Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Programming Using the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS)
NOTE:
- If a new Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) is being installed, install a new APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) before carrying out the following procedure.
- 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. From the on-line OASIS tab, select the "Service Tips" tab, then select "SYNC Software Programming" under "Job Aids".
NOTE:
- For APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) flash programming:
- The scan tool and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 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(R) 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.
1. NOTE: The IDS (Integrated Diagnostic System) program must be closed before attempting to program the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module).
Open a session for the vehicle from the technician service publication web site, and run On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) using "Read VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and DTC's".
2. From the OASIS (On-Line Automotive Service Information System) tab, select the "SYNC" button.
3. There are 3 available options for APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) programming:
- Standard (latest version of current software and applications): Use this option to update the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) to the latest software level.
- Custom (show what's available, and let me choose): Use this option to show all the available options that can be programmed, or if a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) directs for specific software version to be programmed.
- Module Replacement (restore software for newly installed hardware): Use this option when the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) has been replaced.
4. After selecting 1 of the 3 options (Standard, Custom or Module Replacement), click the "Read SYNC" button to verify the current APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module), Vehicle Interface Processor (VIP) and Consumer Interface Processor (CIP) software levels.
- The versions are compared to a online database. After the comparison, the available software is displayed.
5. NOTE: Do not disconnect the Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) or the USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable during APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) programming. When carrying out the programming procedures, follow the scan tool on-screen directions.
NOTE: If unable to complete programming because operation stops or errors are received, interned browser settings may need to be configured. From the on-line OASIS tab, select the "Service Tips" tab, then select "SYNC Software Programming" under "Job Aids".
Select the "Program SYNC" button to begin the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) programming process.
6. Follow the scan tool on-screen directions for APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) programming.
- After programming is complete the scan tool displays "Programming has been completed successfully."
