MY22 Adding SiriusXM

[ARegularJoe]

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 am replying to my own post for those interested in my query.

I took the original antenna apart and moved the cellular antenna from the original to the new one instead of taping it to the inside of the roof. This will be moot once I acquire a Satellite capable APIM for MY22 Lariat so this was an exercise in the art of the possible. I’ve made the change, mounting the cell antenna in the new satellite capable antenna and think it will work fine. Will be a while before I know though. I only get to play with my truck ever so often and I ran into severe corrosion problems when changing antennas so that’s a bit of a setback.

It should be noted that I used some screws to act as stabilizing feet where a mount didn’t exist and that I used tiny washers to provide grounding between the two boards and spacing to isolate the boards from each other. The fingernail polish should prevent the now shallower depth screw from backing out over time.

I'm getting here late. I just traded for a 2022 F-150 XLT without XM. Not so much worried about Nav, but really gotta get this XM going. A video would be amazing! But, I do have the Sirius ESN number and Radio Id in the Diagnostics screen. It also shows 1 antenna connected. I also have the Curry colored wire under glove box. My question is do I still need to do anything with antenna or anything else other than get the Farka cord, and Forscan? No Ford dealership wants to deal with it, and some have even told me its impossible. One told me they'd charge me $200 to program the apim just to get Sirius to show up in Sources. I really want to get this fixed so I can use the 12" Sync4 screen. Any info would be awesome! Thanks, Im so happy I found this thread.

There is no videos that I am aware of. Yes you still need to swap your antenna for the correct antenna. The antenna on yours does not have the xm receiver in it. Don't take it to a dealer. If you are not comfortable doing the swap, try to find a customization shop or a car audio/electronics shop to do it. The forscan changes take 30 seconds to complete. Do not pay someone to do this. You can 100% do that yourself if you just get forscan and the obd2 connector.

Definitely the place to start would be getting a cable and forscan. For the antenna you can even start with an after market one and connect it directly behind the ACM or get the correct one from the dealer and have a shop install it for you.
there are plenty of videos on how to use forscan. First thing to do would be to create back ups of your modules before changing anything

There is a LOT of information here... too much i think so I need to be sure I understand.

My 22 F150 Lariat that was just purchased has the delete. Using the FF Button to check, I have a 6 Digit sirius code. I'm assuming that an antenna is needed IF the headliner does not have 3 cords in it. Assuming it won't, it would just be the new antenna, splitter and getting the correct APIM to get navigation working. Change a couple things with Forscan and we should be in business.

The biggest question is how do i know which APIM to get

 

[Blown F-150]

Just wanted to chime in and say thanks to those who contributed to this thread, saved me hundreds!

Ordered up the ford adapter and antenna and had a Sirius capable ACM.

I am often in remote areas and appreciate having Sirius on a regular basis.

Also slammed in the upgrades HVAC controls in prep for my Raptor wheel install (heated wheel control)

Make sure you make the change to the IPC if you want to see what is playing in the instrument screen. See a few post back but below are the changes.

My VIN:720-05-01 0800
Donor VIN: 720-05-01 1810 The one is what makes it work so I went from 0 to 1 - 720-05-01 1800.

Thanks, been searching for this fix for months.

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.

Some updated information:

It appears that you are a guru on this installation! I went by your instructions, confirmed that I had the Sirius module, confirmed that I had the correct antenna, ordered the antenna link that you recommended and installed it. I have a Siruis account with my other vehicle, so I just want to add my F150 to the account. I called Sirius and gave them the Sirius ID # of the unit. They recognized the number and are ready to send the signal, but I have one problem. My Source screen does not show the Sirius icon, only AM, FM and Bluetooth. I have called the local Ford Dealer to see if they can reprogram my radio but they said they did not know, but they would call me back. Guess what.......They haven't called back! Is there someting that I can do to bring up this icon? I am fairly mechanical minded (followed you instructions to install the antenna link), but not real tech savvy...... Should I reach out to some of the local audio shops to see if they can help me? It's aggravating to be this close and still can't quite get there. You mention something about FORSCAN (about which I know absolutely NOTHING)........ Is this something that an audio shop can make changes to or does it take a Ford dealer?

Any response to my delimma would be appreciated!

Ok if you have done everything, but are asking about Forescan then you are not done.

There is much written on this site about forescan, and how to use it, I would only be repeating what has been said already.

Once you have forescan set up the instructions for how to turn on xm are in this thread.

Edit should say forescan or any bidirectional scanner that allow you to make changes to the system. Many use forescan because it's free except for purchasing a cable.

Just a side note my set up with the xm antenna from a pick apart sandwiched between the layers of the center dash cover has been working just fine.

As Wallyo said you have to make the Forscan changes.

I'm tempted to set "compass sync" on 720-01-01 to "not present" and see if it removes it from the display. If it's not going to be accurate, might as well remove it. Unlike a broken clock, it's not even right twice a day.

I'm happy to report that the OTA IPC-24.2.0 has completely resolved my compass issue. It updates in real time now. Definitely one of the most noticeable improvements an OTA has ever accomplished, second only to the APIM update that enabled full screen CarPlay.

That’s great news it’s been annoying me since I got the truck.

 

[Hans Moleman]

I have a USA truck but have a Canadian ACM so everything references to SiriusXM Canada. Is there a Forscan setting to change it to USA?

Did you load your original ACM As-Built into the new ACM and then make the changes to enable SiriusXM? If so, it might be a hardware issue, like the RadioID is identifying it as a SiriusXM Canada device. I don't see anything in the ACM As-Built lines that would specifically identify the ACM as "Canadian". 727-04-01 x*xx xxxx xx-- is the identifier for Tuner Region and 0 is for NA (North America), no specific Canadian configuration.

If you didn't load your original ACM As-Built into the new ACM, I'd start there, then make the changes called out on the first page to enable SiriusXM.

yes I did load the values from the factory ACM to the used Canadian ACM that I bought from eBay. My factory ACM has SiriusXM so that value was copied from the factory ACM but I had do a Forscan change to enable HD Radio. Everything seems to work but SiriusXM Canada reference is triggering my OCD.

Also I keep getting DTC U0554-00 (Invalid Data Received from APIM) so I don’t know if the Canadian ACM is the cause of this.
