My 2011 Ford Edge Sport's backup camera image is inverted on the infotainment screen. I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with avlis-co.com? They "supposedly" have OEM backup cameras for $149.99.

Otherwise the best I can do is $309.00 from a Ford Dealer on Amazon.

Any thoughts, what would you do?

You can literally buy any Ford APIM from eBay (not SYNCC3) and use Forscan to activate navigation and set it up to match your as-built data. Between the used APIM , free Forscan software and the ELM adapter you need, you’d spend about $140-175. 

You don't happen to be in the Memphis or Little Rock area by chance? I won't be able to do this on my own...

How can you be sure that you are receiving the most recent revision of the APIM from a eBay listing? I definitely do not want a older version of the APIM.

Thanks

Are you sure that was a recall?  Checking the NHTSA database for your year there were just three recalls, two for the body control module and one for the liftgate lock.  In addition to NHTSA you can log into ford.com and check for outstanding recalls based on your VIN #.   That field service action may just be a simple module update not related to vehicle safety.  If that's the case then fixes are generally for a limited time.

 

Cheers!

 

It is called a FSA - Field Service Action. But in Ford's words "Warranty Extension" that comes under their recall programs.It does not have anything to do with safety as that would involve the NHTSA.

I just purchased a 2011 Sport, not from a Ford Dealer. Ford will not honor the recall (Outstanding Field Service Actions 12M02 (APIM)) due to the age. Has anyone ever had any luck getting Ford to honor the recall past the date? I can't remember the name of the department (‭800) 392-3673‬, but was given the canned response that the recall had expired blah, blah, blah.

Outstanding Field Service Actions

12M02 - SYNC WITH MYFORD MYLINCOLN TOUCH WARRANTY EXTENSION COVERING ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE APIM

Any help or your experience would be greatly appreciated.

I see… It"s "Accessory Protocol Interface Module"... but…what does it do??

Google is your friend -

Courtesy of Wikipedia:

The SYNC computer, which Ford calls the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM), is housed separately from the head unit, called the Audio Control Module (ACM), and interfaces with all vehicle audio sources as well as the high-speed and medium-speed vehicle CAN-buses.^[20][21] The first generation of the Ford's SYNC computer was designed in cooperation with Continental AG^[22] and is built around a 400 MHz Freescale i.MX31L processor with an ARM 11 CPU core, uses 256 MB of 133 MHz Mobile DDR SDRAM from Micron and 2 GB of Samsung NAND flash memory,^[23][24] runs the Windows Embedded Automotive operating system,^[25] and uses speech technology by Nuance Communications. Utilizing the USB port, SYNC's Microsoft Windows Auto-based operating system can be updated to work with new personal electronic devices. A Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) BlueCore4 chip provides Bluetooth connectivity with compatible phones and devices. SYNC's major circuit board chipscost roughly US$27.80, which allows Ford to profitably sell the system at a much lower price than competitive offerings.^[23]

Pardon my ignorance but what's an "APIM"?

Just purchased a 2011 Ford Edge Sport. Unfortunately, due to the age of the vehicle Ford is no longer honoring the recall for the APIM. I am wanting to purchase a "new" APIM. I want the most recent revision of the APIM that Ford has released.

Details of my vehicle. 2011 Sport FWD with heated seats, Sony, HD, Sirius, dual zone, ambient lighting, back up camera, and a Nav APIM.

Thanks,

Scott

Did you ever sell this?

Your profile shows your Edge's year as 2007, but the pictures seem to be for a 2011-2014 model. Which is correct? You can also search online parts stores, like this.

Sorry about that, you are correct it is a 2011 Sport. I forgot about updating my profile. Thanks for the link.

Hi,

I am in need of the front and rear AC louver. The front one probably was broken by the previous owner hanging a cell phone off of it. The rear one also broken by previous owner as well, have no clue as to why.

Can someone please tell me what part numbers I need and maybe provide a good source to get these?

Thanks

Is it possible to unscrew the housing, I think there are 2 screws and flip the module?

Take it back to who you bought it from....they may have repainted the tailgate and some how installed it upside down..... thats just a shot in the dark

Vehicle is in immaculate condition with no accidents and no "repainting".

The camera is probably on its way out. Changing it is the only long run solution. 

The picture displayed is just fine, it is just upside-down

Hi Folks,

Just purchased a 2011 Edge Sport. When the backup camera engages, the video on the screen is upside down (inverted). Every thing else is displayed correctly. Anyone have any thoughts on what is going on here and is there anything that I can do to resolve this without taking it to the Ford dealership?

Thanks
