[QUOTE="manyxcxi, post: 1832705, member: 63266"] My question: If my UI is very laggy to boot, but fine afterwards can I expect an aftermarket head unit with maestro to solve my problems? My situation: I’ve got a 2020 with Sync 3.4 (no built in GPS) with BO upgraded sound system. I’ve been unable to get a USB update to take. I’ve done a master reset, a number of times. It never seems to finish an OTA update, and it never recognizes my update USB stick. All the features work, but it can take upwards of two minutes at times for the UI to become responsive after starting it. Sometimes, though rarely, it’ll start working within 30 seconds. Frequently (at least every couple weeks), I get re-prompted for sharing data with Ford, etc. Sometimes CarPlay will be activated and audio playing while the screen is unresponsive (displaying the default UI or rarely actually showing the CarPlay UI). Sometimes the boot takes so long it’ll cut over to the radio instead of CarPlay. It almost never boots fast enough to find my phone over Bluetooth so I just plug in for CarPlay. While the screen is unresponsive it usually displays the UI, it just won’t respond to touch input. All dashboard controls still work though, like volume, seat heaters, etc. sometimes though the Raptor logo stays on for quite a while or the screen is black. On occasion, if I start up and start driving immediately, if I go into reverse the reverse camera will basically stay on for two or three minutes and the boot up definitely takes forever. What I have been told is that if all of my controls and functions are working, it’s likely the APIM isn’t messed up. If the APIM isn’t defective, will a good aftermarket head unit work for me? Do I have to worry about losing any features? I’d like to be able to just hop in and drive (crazy I have to wish for this) and get wireless CarPlay. That’s it. I don’t want to tear out all the old speakers/amps, etc. I also worry that even though an APIM replacement may be cheaper _the first time_ that I’ll wind up in this situation again, as others have.
