Just curious is the volume not appearing for Xm only or for every thing?

If the ACM is plugged in to everything except the XM antenna and once you make the Forscan changes everything will show up you may get a check antenna error. I can’t remember but that may not happen till you register the radio Id. Edit: I checked in my post #73 if you make the needed changes...

Correct they have no record of that unit at all in their system. They must key it in manually. You should also get 3 months free service, mention you purchased a new ford.

In post #1 xlt22 gives one no cost way of dealing with it In post #340 Rhineland gives another way of dealing with it

Don’t know if anyone has an answer to this question since most of us here are adding Xm and don’t have a truck with it up and running off the lot. Similar to the instrument display issue. Some times when turning the steering wheel ( I have very big hands) I accidentally hit the <| button. Doing...

Ok but are you then getting an actual GPS location or are you telling the system by doing this that hey go ahead and just use the cellular? By my saying folks are making this more complicated I was reacting to the below quote which sounded as though the DTC problem was not solved and required...

Just a bit more info. https://www.xm-radio-satellite.com/blogs/satellite-radio-superstore/why-you-need-a-satellite-radio-antenna-when-you-dont-need-one-for-gps Insight as to how Xm can be used for gps. https://www.gpsworld.com/trimble-rtx-corrections-now-transmitted-through-sirius-xm/

Why would you have to change anything with the TCU? As XLT 22 said folks are making this more complicated then it needs to be ( except for those adding nav which has its own issues). You want Xm Make the needed Apim and ACM changes. Install an Xm antenna. Add a fraka extension cable up...

Don’t know how much better GPS reception needs to be? Smart phone have a gps antenna and they work very inside a f150 on determining location.

I have not Done It, I am still using an Xm antenna mounted as I described previously in this thread. But as I have read disassembling the non Xm antenna to obtain the gps antenna Is not big issue. There really is no use for that antenna anymore after buying the Xm antenna. When you use the xm...

Not sure I totally got what you are describing totally laid out. But if you are thinking of using the Xm antenna for gps? I pointed this out earlier, I confirmed it with the geeks at our local electronics non profit store. (shameless plug https://www.reuseum.com/) Xm and gps operate at totally...

Will give it a go and report back!

We did discuss the Xm info displaying on the instrument panel earlier. Being that it is hard to know what should be when you did not have XM to start with. So if I am understanding this ,a change in the GWM makes this happen? Not too important for me but it would be niceto have as an option.

If it were me I just ask the dealer if they can do it. I mean yes these trucks had a forced removal but if you have a truck and it does have nav and your Apim shorts out there has to be a way to swap modules. Ford has to be able to do this especially in a warranty situation! if it were me if...

more of a how then a what…. Programmable Module installation procedure used after a module is installed

Here you go just found it. What is weird is on the connected diagram that part number is not present it is numbered something else in the photo. But if anyone is ever to need one it is valuable 1400! link https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/electrical/control-modules/module-14868739-1?pdp=y

Yeah the R is a bit bewildering in its self. I was mainly was looking at the 14H474 as well as just trying to find a part group that had it or something close.

It is another it those obscure ford hard to locate, define, look up, or even name parts, with an orphan number. I think it might be a GATEWAY CONTROL MODULE or communication GATEWAY CONTROL MODULE? https://www.ebay.com/itm/195513999047 Some one lists it as a pedestrian alerts module...

When I looked 19k351 up some hits were eBay for F250-350-450 Which were still on sync 3?

I am doing this from memory so …. You installed a test antenna if I remember right and had reception Correct? If so weird you would think it would not matter that much? It has the proper connections after alll and you checked them. Up front did you use the ford splitter or just a FAKRA...
