2011 Lariat weak FM Signal/ no Sirius signal
Also posted in the aftermarket/stereo forum.
FM signal fades/comes and goes. It's pretty good near cities, but very weak in rural areas. My Sirius cannot acquire the signal hardly at all. It mostly just says "Aquiring Signal" but never gets it.
Dealer says it needs a new radio. I'm skeptical, at best. The radio guy there says he did a pin to pin check and it's the radio. I know from other things (airplanes) that there may be a box that all things with antennas goes thru. Does this system have anything like that?
Is ther a known issue like this?
BTW, the system works just fine with the phone. No antenna problem there...

Update
The dealer says it's the acm. I'm not sure what that is, or where it is.
Does anyone know? I'd like to buy it outright and install it myself...saving $400 in labor. If I knew what it was?...part number...??

Audio Control Module. I believe it is the piece that includes the CD player. Tasca doesn't appear to have it, you might have a difficult time finding one new.

Is it connected via fm radio signal? If so you can try tuning in with another fm radio to rule out that connection.
Mine was connected that way and i could listen with another radio within about a 5 ft radius.
