Just found this video and it saved me some serious cash! Our sons 2013 Taurus had the same problem. The local car audio places were quoting 1600.00-2600.00 for a new radio. I ordered a new Audio Control Module and had it swapped out in an hour thanks to this video. Thanks for posting!!

thanks for making a video with better explanation than what other video's have done. when my radio broke it was a task finding out what was wrong. i wasnt sure if my APIM was faulty or if the ACM was bad. i ordered a used ACM from ebay to fix my radio. i read in the forums that you have to match the first letter of the letters in your serial code (FA-FK) with your replacement in order for the hardware to be compatible.

I sent it to automotive circuit solutions and it WORKS!!! it WORKS!!!! finally go my sound back. took less then a week total there and back.

Thank you so much for this video. I swapped out my radio in an hour. It is easier than it looks.

My 2016 Taurus just lost audio. Checked the fuses and they are all good. Thanks for the video. I'll have a little project to do.

Thanks bro good video didnt know what was mine followed your steps and boom radio works again thanks

Thanks for doing this and the links for repairing the ACM!

I'm like 20 minutes drive from the repair place! I've been using a BT speaker for three years. Thank you for the video. Others weren't as helpful. I love my 13 Limited. Any issue with wheel bearings or struts? I have some noise from rear passenger side.

Do you recommend removing the side brackets before shipping to be repaired?

I took mine out to have it sent to the company in description. Once i put my car back together, well it only puts out cold air. Any idea why this would happen?

Ive had this done twice for $1600 as the modules are $800 so im going aftermarket to get away from these going out. The problem is wirh the keys atleast thats what i took from my experience.

I have a 2014 Ford Taurus having the same problem , I’m having a hard time finding a ACM to replace it with

I have been thinking my problem is the ACM but I get sound through the center speaker only. And it pops in for a split second every once in a while.

I haven't been able to get my GPS to work any idea why ?? Same year and model all it comes up are the coordinates

Mine doesn't have the plug near the antenna/satellite. Do you know what that plugs for? Have a interceptor sedan previous police vehicle

Did they tell you any other way to fix the problem besides replacing it or thing it or having it repaired? Like a do-it-yourself fix?

Will this possibly work for a 2016 Ford Taurus as well?

I have exactly the same problem as you had, my ACM has reference EB3T-19C107-DF. Searching on the internet I didn't find any ACM with the same reference, but I found an EB3T-19C107-DH with only the last letter different, I managed to replace it but as soon as I put the new ACM on the screen "entertainment unavailable". Can you help me with this, if the part I bought is probably damaged or the part number has to be exactly the same as my ACM to work? If it is possible to help me I will be very happy, I have had my car without sound for 5 months just like yours and without getting a definitive solution.

My guy how did you get a custom wallpaper for the display?

Was your radio, cd and Bluetooth not working?

How to open up the control module? My cd player is spinning non stop and i want to remove power from the cd module itself cause i dont use it but I still want the original radio

Too bad you didn’t show how to take of the bezels.

Could you just go aftermarket?
