2011 Explorer APIM Question

[aj1977]

My Explorer was recently diagnosed with a faulty APIM (big surprise). At the dealer I was told a 4 to 5 day turnaround time to order the part with a price of around $1000.00. My schedule was crazy busy so I told them I would call back to reschedule. When getting into my car the USB ports were in the drivers seat and the computer front was lying there also. Had to get tech to put car back together before I could drive home. BUT to my question, since this is the only dealer around for quite a ways I took to Ebay to find another APIM. Can someone tell me if I buy one with the same numbers (14d212 or 14f239) will they work? I really don't care about anything else other than a radio at this point. The no radio is really getting old. I just don't feel comfortable letting the dealer work on it again.

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Welcome to the Forum.
According to this following site, EA5Z-14D212-BA will not fit a 2011 Explorer.

I was unable to find the other number on that site although an Internet search brought up various part numbers similar to the one above.

Here are some posts I found using the Forum's 'Search' feature (upper right);

Jason jmr061 can help you out, he sells APIMs with NAV. Or you can even upgrade to Sync3.
