Adding X40 ACM to 2018 Super Duty

Hello,

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!

Have you plugged this in yet? is it working?

Does it have a Blue plug(A2B) in the back of the ACM? if it does and you do not have the B&O system in your 250 than it will not work.

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.

As built for the 2021 ACM below:



I don’t believe I have the B&O or Sony system as the truck is only a XLT package. I plugged it in and the FM stations work…

You don’t according to your factory asbuilt.

Here are the adjustments for your asbuilts.

All good. Just use the 2 asbuilt files I attached. Save everything before you start and when you get done.

Will do. Not sure if I will get to it this weekend due to the Memorial day holiday. I will post the results once completed

Thank you again…SB
