My parts have arrived. Did you save a list of forscan changes you made? I bought the $15 aftermarket antenna so I hopefully won’t need to pull the headliner until the weather warms up.
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.
Yeah, got it working with help from Jesse-Infotainment at the f150gen14 forum site. There is a couple of settings in the ACM and APIM that needs adjusted via Forscan. The connector for Sirius is there but you will need to add the Sirius equipped antenna (driver side) puck on the cab. If you get that far with adding the "new" ACM, just hit me up and I'll help as much as I can.
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.
