APIM Module Firmware Update option missing
using 2.4.6 beta with paid license. using ODBDLink EX with newest firmware and newest chip firmware. APIM showing in ForScan. APIM is a MY18.I attempted to update my Sync 3.3 build to newest 3.4 build by usb and upon initial restart I now have a black screen. I am not sure why there is no APIM Module Firmware Update option in ForScan. Any help would be appreciated.
Re: APIM Module Firmware Update option missing
In case of something goes wrong and you get module bricked, you have to connect to the car using the vehicle profile that was created before you updated the module. If you removed the profile or didn't create it, please contact Support Team and provide your debug information, so we could recover the vehicle profile for you.

Re: APIM Module Firmware Update option missing
If I was not using 2.4.6 at the time of the brickening, but was using 2.3.x, could that be why it is not showing the option? and this sucker is permabricked? I already have a new APIM in the mail I just wanted to try to revive this one.

Re: APIM Module Firmware Update option missing
Yes, FORScan 2.3.x doesn't support module firmware updates, so it won't show any menu options for these.Srooney1989 wrote: Mon Apr 10, 2023 12:09 pm If I was not using 2.4.6 at the time of the brickening, but was using 2.3.x, could that be why it is not showing the option?
