I removed the blue antenna component from the old antenna housing and simply taped the antenna component to the roof, thus creating three connections at the rear passenger connection point. I pretty much had to destroy the antenna housing to get the antenna component out of the housing.
I...
Maybe a little clarification...
You have an ACM (Audio Control Module) in your truck that is essentially the radio. The ACM controls AM/FM, HD Radio, and Satellite; and a few other audio freatures. (I haven't investigated this further because I got my satellite radio working)
You have an APIM...
these settings pertain to the SDARS enablement and have no bearing on the display size or screen resolution. The only thing you need to look out for is the volume display popup. If your vehicle has the subwoofer like from the B&O sound system, the first digit of the APIM register should be...
I am in total agreement with you AND with the dealership's service manager on the decision to swap the engine. My issue is with Ford and the lack of Q/A for letting this engine get out of the factory in the first place. I am completely dissatisfied with the entire purchase experience of this...
Yes, my 5 month old, 8000 mi POS 2022 F-150 needs a new engine because of a cylinder compression issue. The dealership thought it better to replace the engine rather than repair the faulty cylinder head. I know, wtf, right?
Hey... great thread... Very informational......
How do I find out if my truck is receiving OTA updates? I changed out the APIM a few months ago and it doesn't appear any of the Sync updates been applied, but don't know if any of the other modules (GWM, IPC, BCM, etc.) have or are recieving...
on an unrelated note.... I took my retrofitted "Connectd Nav/SiriusXM removal" truck in to the dealer for an oil change and also had them run diagnostics because I was experiencing a rough idle which I noticed while making all the changes to the APIM, ACM, GWM, IPC, etc.
Turns out the problem...
The first two digits in the first hextet should be 02 as this is what tells the APIM that NAV is enabled.
From forscan spredsheet. Note: they left out the leading zero on the spreadsheet
The second hextet is fine at 8800
The first two digits of the third hextet are good. The last two...
There's no way to tell if your GWM is configured to allow the data stream from the SiriusXM radio in the ACM, unless you go in there and compare it with a truck that HAS SiriusXM. Again, I think there are two pieces to this. The change in the IPC to tell it that additional data is coming from...
to add to this.... i think the changes that are made to the Instrument Cluster module enable the menu item. The changes to the GWM allows the ACM to "talk" to the Instrument Cluster module and send the data SiriusXM data. The GWM needs to know that SiriusXM is enabled on the ACM.
I had the same problem with my big hands. I found when I hit the back or forward buttons on the steering wheel it advances to the presets. the problem occurs when you advance (or reverse) to another preset page. If you have sirius XM presets on that page, your fine. If you have AM/FM...
