    UPDATE 2014 will not start Please help.

    ...to quick post the above, wanted to add in this - see the connector on the OLDER unit (looks to be from your vehicle) that is where the Audio stereo system "tape monitor loop" goes and shows the frequency and mode display and any RDS music info thru the series data ports in the wiring...

    ...of Coal plate for the blacked out look. Then it was back to winter mode. Then in February of 2022 I decided to upgrade the stereo system because the SYNC was having major issues connecting to my phone. Went with a Sony XAV-AX8100 9" screen with Android Auto, and Powerbass OE...

    2016 ford fiesta apim

    ...layers of complexity. Since you're in 2016 - have you sought after a display from any Focus, Taurus or even Explorer of the same year that stereo is using a similar APIM? Then if you know the year (Date code) of the Stereo - then that is the APIM you look for. It is so the chipset of the...

    2016 ford fiesta apim

    ...it have to be programmed? And I know the ford dealership won't program it because they didn't install it. That's my two main hiccups. The stereo in there is stock base model Gen 1 sync system and for the life of me haven't been able to find an apim that will work for it and I absolutely...

    ActiveX or S Line?

    My daughter's Fiesta 2011 has an issue with the clock and the stereo. First the clock: It doesn't show either date or clock, and it's impossible to adjust. I get into the meny, but there is no reaction to the adjustments. The clock shows up like this: I have tried disconnecting the battery...

    Yet-to-be-named 2016 Fiesta SE

    ...got totaled, I'd replace it with another FiST. My comment on the Savage Geese review of the car: No one buys a FiST for the interior. The stereo is adequate, not great. The ride is stiff, but that can be changed if it bugs you, for not too much money. Ford put all the ST (Sports...
