I Recently purchased an ACM out of a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1. I’m trying to enable the album art and XM station logos on my 2018 F250 super duty XLT trim. I replaced the APIM with one from a 2023 Ford Maverick which had Sync version 3.4.23188 installed from the factory. I realize the ACM is a 21 model going into an 18 truck. I have not ran the 2 new wires yet between the APIM and ACM. I went with the Mustang model so I could retain my CD player and still have the X40 chip.
Could someone please help me with the APIM and ACM Data values for Forscan?
I currently have and would like to keep HD radio and as stated above the new ACM has the CD option, which I would also like to keep…
Any help/thoughts would be great..Thanks in advance!

LR3T-19C107-FF is X40 with a CD player, HD Radio.
The 19C107 and 18D832 radios are the previous style connectors. These also can be retrofit to the Sony audio systems. This model is not compatible with B&O audio systems as it does not have the Digital Audio SPDIF connection, or A2B. (The blue connector)
The original ACM for your vehicle is HC3T-19C107-BM, which does not have the A2B connector, so you do not have an external DSP. This is reflected in your OEM asbuilt in the APIM.
The original APIM for your vehicle is JR3T-14G371-CED. Pre 18.5 MY.
I’ll look thru the asbuilts…please post the asbuilts for the new ACM and APIM.
Are you in SWAZILAND (5753)? Nav-in-motion hack. Not necessary with newer versions of Sync…
There is no blue connector on the back. Just the two rectangular Ones likevthe back of my stock radio and the black and mustard color XM and FM antennas.
Just made the ass built changes to the a Pi M and ACM.
When I went to run the wiring, Pin 51 in the APIM and pin 6 in the ACM were already occupied.
As was APIM pin 52 and ACM pin 19..
Do I simply spice into these existing wires with quick taps?
I have not done so yet. Just transferred my SiriusXM subscription and have no SiriusXM radio. I am assuming This is because of the wiring stated above.
There were no issues with APIM pin 27 to ACM pin 5 Or APIM pin 28 to ACM pen 4. These 4 locations were empty in their respective harness.
Speaking of ACM harness, We are talking about the one closest to the driver side of the vehicle, correct?
So I am assuming if there are wires in those respective locations, then no spicing end of them is required?
My female APIM pins should be here tomorrow. Tonight, I just literally jammed the wires into the slots for APIM 27 & 28, Maybe they’re not getting good contact
I also notice that I do not have GPS on my navigation.
Did you install the GPS antenna? Or is there already one?
You can access a “secret” menu on the SYNC 3. To do that, press the right arrow button on the steering wheel and the right arrow button (Scan button) on the infotainment panel at the same time and hold them for five seconds.
A new menu screen will appear. The SYNC system might begin running a speaker diagnostic test, which you can cancel. The new screen will provide options to run various diagnostic functions, like testing the audio speakers, infotainment screen display, or other functions. You can see the satellite reception signals in this menu.
