I'm about to start my install, but had a quick question. What are you guys using to solder the wires in the car? Are you using something cordless or just a regular corded iron?

Subscribing, if anyone has an APIM and Screen for my 2015 premium MFT nav equipped Mustang to Sync 3 with nav, LET ME KNOW. On another note, does my wifes 2015 Edge need anything other than a Screen, APIM and media hub?

Call The Parts Farm. They should have a few more Sync 3 APIMs w/Nav in stock. I got mine from them two weeks ago.

Hi HextallS550! I just received my two wires to the hub. In your instruction, the grey wire goes to the left port in the hub, but my grey wire only fits the right port, and my black wire fits the left one. Are these two ports switchable?

My apologies. My craptastic drawing is reversed. Here's a screenshot from the vid that Brett and I shot showing proper orientation

No worries! I'm glad I'm fine. I've collected all parts, and I'm doing it next week. Again awesome info and write-up! :cheers:

I'm in the middle of doing my install but I had a couple questions about the wiring. I'm specifically referring to the what is being called "The smaller ACM connector" and the "GPSM Pin" on the pin-out sheet. I'm not seeing the color of the wires listed, GY/BU or WH/BN, on the smaller ACM connector. Also, where exactly am I pulling the GPSM pins from? I've added a couple pics to show what I'm referring to. Also, the GPSM is the box mounted in the second picture correct?

Thanks

Also, what is the best/easiest way to release the terminals from the APIM connector to swap them around?

The only thing i had to do at the acm was add 2 wires for SAT.

the GPSM has a grey.. and a violet that you need to take out..those are your MS-CAN wires.... make sure the wires stay connected... i made the mistake of just using one grey and one violet and i broke up the MS-CAN network and the panel wouldnt work.
