This is due to different asbuilt data or the presets just needs to be reprogrammed to map properly to the APIM.

Presets are stored in these addresses…

Is there a way to know if the ACM is new enough to support the OTA services ? I found an ACM from October 2019 and one from Feb 2020 and was wondering if they might be new enough or do we need to go 2021? Also the connectors on the back look exactly like the one i have in the car now from 2016

What are the part numbers?
Can you look inside and see if it is like this? If it is then it has no CD player and has the new processor to support XM services. (Like 360L) (There are some units that may have a cd player, it seems but not confirmed, that have the new xm chip.)

The older ones with CD player look like this…

I wish I could… but its on Ebay… Only info is this:

The ACM shows to be LS7T-18D818-ZC. It does not look to have HD radio.
AM-FM-CD-MP3 (single disc), w/satellite radio, w/o High Definition radio; ID LS7T-18D818-ZC

I found a few of these with manufacture dates early 2019, so I would say it is not the new version.

26

Any idea where I might find one or a site I can go Look on?

27

This is one that will work. Look for these…KL3T-18D832-FJ

i tried resetting 727-06-01 to all 0000 0000 but it gets refused by the ACM

31

That will work ina Ford Fusion?

It should. Just may need a little asbuilt tuning.

33

As always F150Chief thank you for the information… The connections on that back of that ACM look the same as the current on in my Ford Fusions except for that blue connector… Any idea what that is and if it would be needed or what it is?

34

The blue connector is the A2B digital audio connection for the B&O and Revel systems. You can adjust the asbuilt not to use it.

35

I can verify the connections are the same on the ACM’s you speak off. The only thing added was the pins for the Mic’s that do the noise cancelling on the new ones have.

36

stupid question, using the ford updater i have 3.4 21194 as current, yet the Syn3Updater lists 4 newer versions? is this for different regions?

and is this worth messing with as an update do you think?

Bill32399 do you have a Ford Fusion and did you update from an older ACM to a new one?

38

It’s a fiesta and the ACM aid original factory.

39

No sir. Mine is a 2020 still under Factory Warrenty and I am not touching it until that is up. I did not need to replace the ACM as it has everything the new ones have and works fine.

Ahh ok was curious how you knew the connections were the same between the two. :slight_smile:

Bill is yours a Ford Fusion though or a F150?
