All they told me was they couldn't do anything cause they couldn't connect to the radio and I need a new one. What's the APIM?

Not that I'm aware of. Do you know when your factory warranty started? That would have been the vehicle's "in service date". Ford extended the warranty on the APIM to 5 years unlimited mileage because of all the issues they were having with it early on. Just wondering if you still happen to be within that period of time.

So it has been more than 5 years from the date you picked up the Explorer. You can't order an APIM from Ford. When a dealer replaces one he must return it to Ford. I'd ask your dealer to see if they checked the APIM first just to be sure or have another dealer look at it. I'll send a PM to a couple members who are a little more experienced with this and ask them to look at what we've posted so far.
No I don't have the nav and all they told me was they tried connecting to the radio with a computer and could not get it to communicate so they tried a reset by unhooking the battery and still nothing. I checked the fuses before and they where good

Hi Rich. Please add the requested "trim level" (Base, XLT, etc.) to your profile so it shows in the margin. That can be helpful info for members to have. Thank you.
Dealers tend not to get too technical with customers about part names unless asked to do so. Radio could me any number of things. I have only ever heard of the black screen being caused by a bad APIM. If the screen were bad you would still get continuous audio from the stereo system.
