That is the forum site that got me going. Djcwardog's post that I linked has most of what was needed. There are some screenshots in some of later posts to go by. I'll get my screenshots the next time I get the truck out but you should be good to go. Sorry for the late post, been busy.

BTW - be sure to save your files in Forscan before any edits --very important, just in case.

 

Thanks. I did some reading and came to the conclusion I need to program (PMI) my new (to me) ACM. I’m waiting on a VCI to do that before moving forward.

 

The PMI failed with an error indicating incorrect hardware but after that failure, the radio does turn on. I didn’t get any response from the buttons before. It appears everything except the sirius that I was trying to add works. 😂🤦‍♂️

I think I’ll compare my backups with the screenshots and the spreadsheets and come up with a plan inside where its warm then go back out in the cold with my laptop.

 

Did you ever resolve the lost comm with ecm/pcm dtc? I copied most of the values ACM values from the F150 forum. Sirius is working now but I still have the lost comm DTC that you had mentioned. I also don’t like mixed mode presets but the presets don’t work at all without that setting.

 

There is another option, albeit not quite as elegant as the built-in.
I have been using a Sirius "plug-and-play" receiver for many years now. I have docking stations and antennas in the house, boat, camper, shop, car and the truck. It's a slight inconvienience to move the receiver around, but it's just one subscription for all locations. Just needs power, and the audio connects wtih an FM modulator.
