Unless something has changed, the APIM, which is attached to the back of the actual display screen, can only be programmed to another VIN by a Ford dealer and the odds of you finding a dealer to do this for you is basically zero because that’s not the infotainment system that came with your truck.
With that being said, you would have been better off spending your money on an aftermarket head unit that has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built in.

The swap can be done but the odds of everything working properly is almost zero because the “APIM” is not programmed to your VIN#.

Can the APIM now be programmed via FORScan or some other method because I’d be very interested in learning more on how you did it.
