Just got 2021 f150 PB lariat back from dealer as not receiving sync updates. Dealer was unable to update and replaced apim. Hot truck back with what I believe is old code. And no updates avail.

SYNC 4, Software Version: 21146_PRODUCT
Revision: 145

since the dealer didn’t get current is fdrs sw update of APIM the way to get newer sync?

I was having similar issues with my truck. It was at the dealer for 2 months last summer and they determined I needed a new APIM. that was installed in December and they installed some updates but I was still behind. A few months ago I brought it back and they installed a new battery. That did the trick. The old battery was working but didn’t have 100% capacity so certain features were disabled. I’ve gotten regular updates since then and I’m almost caught up. I don’t get updates when I’m home due to poor cell service in my area. All updates have happened while I’m out.

Yes, the APIM updates are the ones that give you a newer Sync version. However, you can't just apply all the APIM updates and ignore the rest. Based on your Sync version, you are very far behind and need a lot of updates to be caught up.
