Texas: sync 4 kit
How did you get Sirius XM to work on a Sync 4 APIM, but with an ACM from a 2015?
It's in the forscan changes. I don't have an active subscription and have since turned off the source, but when I first installed my SYNC4 APIM it worked. Or at least it would default to Sirius and play the commercials. My truck is a 2018, but I don't think the ACM changed until 2019 when the CD player went away. Now, the CD player doesn't work with SYNC4. That I can confirm.
@Kahoona16 i dont have a 2015 acm i replaced it with a 2021 and added the requiered wires the following acms work with f150 2015KL3T-18D832-BH SDARS w/o HDR (2019 F-150)
KL3T-18D832-CH SDARS w/HDR (2019 F-150)
KL3T-18D832-FJ SDARS w/HDR (2019 F-150)
LT4T-18D818-BC SDARS w/o HDR (2020 Edge)
LT4T-18D818-CC SDARS w/HDR (2020 Edge)
MT4T-18D818-BC SDARS w/o HDR (2021 Edge)
MT4T-18D818-CC SDARS w/HDR (2021 Edge)
Bx = no HD radio
Cx = HD radio
xC = SDARS
xF = SDARS
The wiring for the SDL/DRDL must be in place.
Additional wiring required:

@abcdburdy just remove pin 53-54 no need for special harness or get an apim extension from ebay and remove those two pins and you should be good
Thanks for the heads up. Okay, do you have a line on a HDR capable acm for my f150?

I have trimmed out pins 27 and 27 apm to 5 and 4 acm
removed 53 and 54 from apim
I am uncertain at to the need to move the above listed pins 51 and 52
Also, as discussed in a pm with you, my AC and radio control bezel loses power and goes dark when sync 4 apm is in-system. does not do this when sync 3 apm is returned to in-system. have tried two different aync 4 apm's with same result.
Is this a forscan issue I must further address or are there unforseen dark arts involved here?
