16-18 APIMs can not be upgraded to 3.3/3.4. The way that the drive is partitioned and the amount of space necessary to hold the software will inhibit a hack free update. You could purchase a 19-20 APIM and have us do the same thing we did for Luis. But they are hard to find right now and $$$$.

I was told I would have to replace my ACM to a 2019 if I upgraded to the Sync Gen 4 APIM, is this true or no?

Hey guys,
Slightly off-topic: Did any of you have a high-res close-up pic of the Sync 3 APIM pcb (component side)? I would like to have a play with Linux AGL on one of these, need to consider the hardware specs before I do, or indeed move to another platform altogether.

Appreciate your feedback.

Cheers,
Beano

Dual or Single USB interface?

I understand the one on the console will still charge but I play my music off a thumb drive.
With the dual USB, can I play music off one port and have the other using carplay?

You can do play music off a flash drive and run CarPlay with either setup.

The advantage of using the dual USB is the third charge-only port and not having to run more wires, since with the single USB hub you actually have to run a cable from the hub to the front USB port.

What do you prefer?

So can someone clarify this for me, if I have a 2017 mustang GT base car, all I need is and APIM, FCIM and the cabling and media hub and I'm gtg? Also does anyone know if the 2019 stuff works in the 2017, rather have the recaro/non heated seat bezel and newer sync 3 apim.
