Thank you everyone for the info! Im thinking it's the wrong part since it's out of an escape and not out of an edge or an explorer. I used cyanlabs website before coming here and spent countless hrs searching the data base, the wrong part, the harness being different some how or the vin, are the only things I could think of. I've created new profiles on forscan to see if that would help, I changed the as-built to the CGEA 1.2 and still got nothing, I can edit the as-built and get no errors on forscan as well, just no screen no radio sw controls and no controls on the front of the radio even tho both vehicles had the sony sound system in it, I'm thinking I'm going to find and edge part number or a part number capable with an edge and go from there.

I have tried to do the apim test on forscan, for some reason it gives me an incapable communication error and stops it's self, yes I can see most of that except the total distance on the module side of forscan, enough tho it shows my vin and not the escapes vin

I don't for a fact, only assuming rn, there were other people on another forum that did the exact same thing as I'm doing, but they got there's to work. I could see them not being compatible, because the edge has 2 screens in the cluster where the escape has only one but idk if that would make a difference or not. I agree I'm not not sure what it's not talking to. When I configure the apim to my car I don't get any errors but if I leave it to the stock escape I have configuration errors. it's just like it doesn't want to turn on. I've edited the steering wheel control module, the audio control module and bcm and gotten no change, and not sure what else I need to change, I will do some research on the part number and see if it cross references to the edge. I've searched how to reset it can't really do to much without the sw control front audio controls or the screen. I also went to the Ford website and downloaded the sync 3 update, stuck the USB in to see if it would update automatically, waited 45 minutes to an hr and got nothing as well

I got the screen and apim from the same 2017 ford escape, my car is a 2013 Ford edge with sync 2. I've wiggled the cable in the back, unplugged and plugged it back in, also did this to all cables and harnesses. That's what I was thinking, just plug it in, edit your as built and should be good to go lol not too worried about the VIN unless that might be causing it not to start, i haven't used the Ford pass in a long time so not really missing it 😅 just really want car play and the new features it bings to the car I'll order a screen and see if that helps. Does it matter what part number I get for a screen as long as it fits? Should I also order the lvds cable thing as well. Thank you very much for the insight. I did get this out of a junk yard car so it's very possible that the screen is out just want to make sure that's what it before spending all kinds of money.

Hello all! Tried posting on other forums and haven't had much luck, I am trying to retrofit sync 3 into my 13 edge limited i have the module and screen from a 17 escape along with the usb, I know about the brackets so not worried about them, but when plugging it in and turning the car on i get a black screen, the right side of the cluster is working but wont let me turn on audio or connect a phone or use navi, the sw controls wont work and radio controls on the climate control wont light up but for a second then go dim, when i hit the power button or turn the volume up and down i get nothing i am able to program as built data to the apim but anything i change doesn't work when i feel like it should be working since i can edit data and get no apim errors. Just a black screen could the screen be bad? Ive used my as built data ive use a 2017 edge data a 2017 flex data and the original 17 escape data and nothing has worked not sure what im doing wrong if anything, I have also edited the acm and sccm thinking it could be something in those modules, or possibly could be vin locked if that's a thing, would really like to get this going but i dont know where to really start.
