I used the one printed on the ACM when I called.

Did yours have 2 different numbers also?

Honestly I don’t recall but I know I used the one printed on the ACM.

Just to confirm I have 2 different ID's after converting to XM. I tried multiple times to activate the ID from the ACM with the XM tech line. Never would activate I would only get the preview channel with nothing else. Finally told them about the ID # being different on channel 0 they tried that and within 2 minutes everything working.

I recently added XM via the first page instructions (appreciate all the info and Dustin Hager for the insights). XM works great but after installing the new roof top antenna my Apple Car Play navigation via Waze & Google won’t pick up the correct location. Any insights?

If you’re only wanting to add Sirius, check Amazon etc for a female to female curry FAKRA at least a foot long. There’s enough room to pass that from the center cavity where the ACM is mounted to the glove box area. There are also universal FAKRA extensions of questionable quality.

That antenna part is correct but will show up marked as LC3T-19K351-AE with a cellular plug and SDARS plug. If you care about having non nav GPS for FordPass you need to check the driver side antenna to see if it’s GPS capable. At least on the truck I’ve looked at it was there but wasn’t hooked up. You might be able to run an extension from that antenna to the passenger side blue FAKRA that gets unplugged to add the Sirius antenna.

On my rig, I’ve a green plug into which the driver’s side antenna in my xm/nav delete Lariat plugs into. Could not get the Ford pn from after dropping the passenger side headliner to verify blue (used) curry (unused) blue(used) plugs. If I intend to replace the APIM to one with the curry (satellite) plug, is there a reason to get a driver‘s side antenna with cellular and GPS Nd extending the GPS cable to the blue plug that. Will be open after I install the suggested antenna to gain sattelite and XM? There must be some guidance in Ford Wiring Diags as to what was sold when prior to XM/Nav delete…. Something to emulate?

I wanted to clean this post up and give a rundown of exactly what needs to be done to add SiriusXM to 2022 (maybe other model years as well) trucks that had the option deleted from the build. Before buying anything, remove your lower glove box and verify there's a yellow (Curry) colored plug terminated into a blue cap. If that is there, you're all set.

Parts needed:
ACM (Audio Control Module) *If yours does not have a Sirius Radio ID. To verify, enter diagnostic mode (hold down FF on steering wheel and dash simultaneously, press END on the audio test that begins) and look for the AHU diagnostic. It will show an 8 character Radio ID and barcode if it's Sirius Capable. The other option is simply to make the Forscan changes to the ACM and APIM and check it there. Many trucks have been shipped with a satellite capable ACM without the option being enabled.

Example:

Antenna for RIGHT side (passenger) LC3Z-19A390-F

Female-to-Female Curry Colored FAKRA extension. An example is shown below but Amazon, etc is your fastest option. There is an OEM splitter linked as well if you think you may add a navigation-capable APIM at a later date.

FAKRA Extension
OEM Splitter

Installation is simple. Remove the center speaker (if none is there, remove the plastic tray on top of the dash pocket) that is two screws and various clips. You will need to release (but not remove) the clips on the bezel around the center screen. The ACM is held in place by a bracket that has 4 7mm bolts and 4 7mm bolts on the ACM. You can drop the FAKRA extension from the ACM cavity down to the yellow (Curry) plug by the glove box where it should be connected. Reconnect your dash harness, AM/FM, Sirius and B&O output if that is there.

Moving to the rear passenger side of the cabin, start by removing the center plastic door trim cover at the bottom of the door opening with a pry tool. Pull the weatherstrip from the end all the way around to the front of the door and hang it on the door itself. Remove the clothes hanger by flipping down the plastic flap in the middle and removing the T20 screw. Use the pry tool to slowly work the C pillar trim off the cabin and towards the center of the truck. Once loose, you can pull it out of the way just enough to drop the headliner. Grab the back of the headliner by the back glass and give it a tug, it will pop down.

Looking toward the rear of the truck where the headliner has been pulled down, you'll see a burgundy, yellow (curry) and blue connector. Most likely you'll only have the burgundy and blue connected. Release the clips along with the harness clip on the cab. Use a 10mm wrench to slowly loosen the center bolt on the antenna until it's able to be removed and pull the antenna out. Install the new antenna and begin to tighten the center bolt. The metal "fingers" on the hold down bracket will tighten against the roof. When the antenna feels secure, verify the metal "fingers" are inset into the plastic retainer around 1/8". Do not overtighten it. Connect the yellow (Curry) connector to the curry plug on the body harness and the burgundy connector to the burgundy connector on the body harness.

Now at this point the unused blue connector gives you two options. With it not connected, you will have an inaccurate cellular determined location in your Fordpass app and E911 will also not give a precise location if you use that feature. A "silent" DTC will exist in the TCU with the GPS antenna not connected on a non-nav truck, but this does not affect anything. The "right" way to fix this is to convert to a navigation APIM and splitter called out. A less correct but confirmed working method to fix this is to disassemble the stock antenna that was removed and pull out the GPS receiver and white lead/blue male plug. Connect this to the body harness as it was before and use double sided tape to stick the antenna (roughly 1.5" x 1.5") to the headliner facing up. The antenna is thin and won't prevent the headliner from snapping back in. This will receive enough of a signal through the metal skin to give an accurate location when stopped and with an unobstructed view to the sky. I would not expect accuracy equivalent to a roof mounted antenna in mountains/forests due to it being under metal.

Replace the interior panel, clothes hanger and door seal then open FORSCAN. Please note if you have replaced the ACM, you are best served by running a PMI in FDRS *before* doing anything with FORSCAN. Select "no" in FDRS when prompted for the condition of the module and complete the PMI.

Change the following lines in FORSCAN:

7DO-01-01 *xxx-xxxx-xx This value went from 8 to A.Yours may vary just make sure to enable SDARS .

727-01-01 *xxx-xxxx-xx This value went from B to 3. Same as before, enable SDARS but check your as-built FIRST.

Reset the APIM and you should be all set. You should see the tuner option for Sirius and have access to the preview channel.

MY22,

I went ito the Diagnostic Mode as you instructed in your directions and came up with the following screen that I have attached. Does this mean that I have an ACM the will receive Sirius?

Thanks for the reply,

Adding to this thread, a query. Has anyone replacing the Burgundy/Blue Right side antenna with the Burgundy/Curry Right side antenna attempted to move the ’blue‘ antenna from the old to new antenna bodies? Though I have not decapitated the former, there appears to be room In the new one.

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 then set the APIM to receive navigation input from the new antenna and not from the TCM. The only thing the TCM does (with the still-active blue antenna connection) is provide communication with the FordPass App.

Hope this helps.

Look at my post #214 ...

First I will start by saying thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum.

So I just got my 22 XLT with the xm delete reversed. Added the new antenna, cable and BAM got it going. Was able to activate it and its working well.
The issue I have is now I lost the ability to use the radio Presets. If I change all my FORSCAN changes back to factory I get them back. I was able to get them to work but once the truck powers down for over 5 minutes when you start back up it reverts back to this. Currently all the presets show "Preset-1" and do not respond to inputs. Anyone else run into this? Followed the steps set forth in the OP. Only thing extra I had to do was change the first set of values in 7DO-01-01 to 2000 from 0001 as Wally did. Not sure what to do to possibly get this fixed.

You folks must have awfully pliable law enforcement! Around here they'll pop you right at the sign if you haven't slowed down enough. I tell my wife to keep it turned off in her vehicle because it doesn't slow down fast enough.

You seem to be quite the expert on the installion a Sirius Radio to a 22 F150 XLT that was deleted by the factory.
I went ito the Diagnostic Mode as you instructed in your directions and came up with the following screen that I have attached. Does this mean that I have an ACM that will receive Sirius?

You do not need a splitter if your only concern is SiriusXM. Just use the linked extension. The new antenna serves as a secondary cell/GPS/Sirius antenna. To avoid the DTC issue, pull the old GPS antenna from the unit you remove (blue plug) and plug that back into the corresponding plug on the body harness of the truck. Make sure the antenna cell is pointing up and tape it down to the top of the headliner.

Is there an option to not remove the old antenna GPS and tape that inside the headliner? Can the splitter be used at all and still retain normal GPS functions? If so, what plugs into what? I am not installing nav, I just want sirius but still want to the GPS function in fordpass to work. Thanks
