Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Programming





Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Programming Using the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS)

NOTE: If a new Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) is being installed, install the new APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) before carrying out the following procedure.

1. Turn the Audio Control Module (ACM) on.

2. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).

3. Connect one end of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) male-A to male-A cable to the scan tool.

4. Connect the other end of the USB (Universal Serial Bus) male-A to male-A cable to the vehicle USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.

5. From the technician service publication website, run On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) using Quick Start or by manually entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

6. From the OASIS (On-Line Automotive Service Information System) tab, select the "Sync/APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) " bullet.

7. Select the "Read APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) " button to verify the current APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) Vehicle Interface Processor (VIP) and Consumer Interface Processor (CIP) software levels.

8. NOTE: Do not disconnect the Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) or USB (Universal Serial Bus) cables during APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) programming.
Select the desired software level from the list of available software for programming then select the "Program APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) " button to begin the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) programming process. Enter the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) As-Built data if prompted.

- When the VIP (Vehicle Interface Processor) is programmed, the CIP (Consumer Interface Processor) will be programmed automatically.


9. The Sync/APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) application downloads the software into the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) and displays "Programming has been completed successfully".

10. After the SYNC system programming has completed, press the phone button once and wait for 1 minute for the SYNC system to reboot.

11. Test the audio system for correct operation.
