No shark fin, no satellite radio, no Fordpass Connect, no factory remote start.
What is the button antenna on the roof for?

 

I think its for the clock in the radio.

 

I’m like 99% sure it’s for the satellite radio. On 09-14 f150s that black puck was the SiriusXM antenna. I’m sure it hasn’t changed for the newer models. I’d go to a dealership and see why it’s not showing up/working on your head unit.

 

The gubernment still needs to keep an eye on you

 

Satellite radio was not on my sticker, nor in my dash. Yes, it looks like the sat antenna on my 2008 Explorer. Maybe Ford stamps a hole in all F150 roofs and it’s just a filler using the satellite antenna cap? Have to remember to ask the dealer next time I’m there.

 

It did change.....read a few of the Sirius threads. Sometime around 2018 or 2019 Ford produced two different hockey puck antennas. One was the Sirius radio antenna, and one was only emergency gps/radio. On my 2019 STX without factory Sirius, I had to change out this antenna. Rumor has it ford got wise to customers buying APIM's and getting factory Sirius without paying Ford for it. That's just speculation, but its a known fact that there are TWO different late model antenna's based upon what features your truck was built with.

Post #206 is where I go into a bit of detail along with the proper part number for the Sirius antenna.
