Why don't you just download the Sirius app and listen to it that way?

Factory Sirius is not good.
Is it just bad in F150's or all Fords? My wife just bought a Ford Escape and Sirius isn't bad.

I don't know, but it is bad in my F250, the F150, and a Fusion I was given as a rental. I didn't renew after the trial period. I decided to get unlimited data and stream Amazon music instead. I get really pissed when I ride in my buddy's Silveraydo and he's jamming to clear Sirius.

OK fellas, I bought an ACM that was recommended by Lucas, from a 2013 F150 with HD/Sirius. To all that have done a swap, I know I need to change brackets but what other information needs to be changed either in forscan or anything else? Thanks all for the help!

I asked one of the members to assist me with locating an ACM and that was the one that they recommended I buy.

I would be curious to see what unit was installed since all of the other 17 XL stx owners all had sirius factory installed. swapping out should be easy i added sirius using an acm from a 2016 fusion on 15 rXL change the brackets and you might need to enable using forscan which you will need to enable your HD anyway.
