Component Description: APIM
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The APIM consists of two internal modules: the CIP and the VIP. The modules are not replaceable individually, but can be programmed independently, if required.
The CIP connects to user devices via Bluetooth, USB, or Wi-Fi.
The VIP provides vehicle information for the CIP and other SYNC Apps or functions. In addition, the VIP queries the modules on the network for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) when a vehicle health report is requested.
