The upgrade process doesn't query other modules on the vehicle. And the VIN is contained in the APIM, so looking outside of the APIM wouldn't do any good. If it was a VIN Mismatch in the APIM, there would be a hard-fault logged so once again there would be no need to look outside of the APIM for...
If you follow the install list, it installs several of the splash screens in different order. If you are in there editing, take out all the ones that don't apply.. you can't install something if it doesn't exist.
Edit the middle section of your autoinstall.lst file to look like the following:

Ok, I did the update today and it worked flawlessly. BUT!!!!!! You must modify the load to get it to work. I edited the file list to remove the references to the zip files and cab files for the non raptor splash screen and then removed the zip files and cab files that contain the other splash...
I have not done the update yet, but what I have found is the customization files for backgrounds have Raptor, Mustang, Lincoln - Black Label, Lincoln - Presidential and Vignale...

So I am closing this project out in my book as a total success. While the total cost (with new parts) is $1140, it does prove 100% that anyone who said that it couldn't be done was wrong. If you want the factory ambient lighting, that works on the touchscreen and is 100% factory correct, it can...

And it is something everyone would be able to do. No dealer needed.
More details to come next week.
A few notes about the Headliner Wiring harness installation. The factory harness is hot-glued in place and requires care to remove without damaging the headliner. TAKE YOUR TIME!!! Sharp Razor knife and taking your time is the only thing between you and disaster.
The Rain Sensor requires 3...
