How to get HD Radio to work

My 2019 Mustang had the 4" screen and I bought a 8" screen and APIM and a matching ACM from a wrecked higher trim 2019 Mustang. I installed it and did nothing else and it works. However I remember that the ACR said HD Radio on it and I do not see that available on the screen. What do I need to do to enable HD Radio? I have read online that I need to reprogram the VIN in the ACM to match my VIN. I also read about incrementing a register by one to turn on HD Radio. Could you clear up what I need to do? Thanks

There is no VIN in the ACM.

You need to use Forscan to make sure the APIM has HD Radio turned on. Double check you ACM to make sure it has a sticker like the one below to ensure it has the capability.

After a little more searching it appears that you have to have the B&O system in the Premuim packages before HD radio is added. I did not find it in any other trim so hopefully thats what you got.
