No XM Radio?

[dc3843]

Dealer offered zero solutions. I’m thinking of plugging in forscan and seeing if it’s just disabled. I don’t wanna use the app, I’m one of those weirdos that wants everything built in and OEM.

I just Bluetooth the SiriusXM app to the Bronco through Android Auto. My dd has a subscription for $6 a month forever and I don't see the point in adding a sub to the Bronco. Hell, I haven't driven it in 3 weeks except once to get dog food, lol

Good solution but that uses data. Not everyone has unlimited.

It appears as though you can change with Forscan to add or delete Sirius from your sources. Since there is an antenna, you may just need to do that. If it shows up and you get the preview channel, then you can subscribe. Info on how to add or delete is on the internet via a search.

So, got an update. I took the truck to the local ford dealer, apparently, the truck was built and originally bound for Puerto Rico. It never made it there, was dealer traded to a dealer here in Texas before it left port. Anyway, vehicles bound for PR, Alaska or Hawaii don’t get XM. This is confusing to me because XM IS available in PR at least and my window sticker says I get it. @Ford Motor Company can you assist?

I remember seeing those and wondering how that dealer got ahold of them since the sticker says "for export only" on it. I figured there was some shady dealing going on that led to that dealer getting them. The dealer was out west of DFW if i remember correctly.

Yup. David McDavid Ford. Sadly, I didn’t know about this because I bought the vehicle used from Grubbs Volvo. Only has 1000 miles on it so I was wondering what happened but said screw it. Then I found the window sticker in the glove box after I’d taken delivery. Ugh.

Makes one wonder what else may be missing on the "for export only" Bronco builds?????

Hi, I have one of those "for export only" here in PR, luxury package/B/O Stereo,no Siriusxm. Sirius does work perfectly here I also have a F-150 Raptor that came from the factory with Siriusxm,subscribed after the free 3 months-that was 4 years ago... Wonder if anyone knows about the Forscan search option for SAT Radio.

Must have been a few of them that were able to get them then, the ones I saw were at Stanley Ford in Eastland.

I’m looking into that now, just need to get my hands on the right code

Well, I pulled out my forscan, worked on the APIM and now I have the XM Radio button showing as a source option. Only issue is, when I press it, it turns the radio off. The system won't let me write anything to the ACM, it keeps stopping mid write. Any thoughts?

DC - did you ever find a solution to this? I’m new to club & running into the same thing on my bronco. I’m an OEM guy too - so wondering if there is a fix given the vehicle has the antenna installed

Picture of your window sticker as well please.

I did get it fixed. So my APM was the correct satellite ApM, but there was a missing splitter needed for the XM antenna. So I had to take the entire dash apart just to get behind the screen and install the correct splitter. Then it recognized that XM was there but it still wasn’t working. Turns out that the antenna itself on the crossbar in the back was the gps only antenna. So I had to order the XM antenna. Super easy install with the top off, you could even do it with it on, but easier to see things. Installed that and it worked perfectly. Then I sold the truck because I was tired of the cabin noise on the highway. Lol

That sounds like a solid effort! I don’t know if I trust taking the dash out for this fix, over fear of unwanted rattles after lol

There is a walkthrough on YouTube to get it done. It’s pretty good, not a single rattle. Kind of proud of myself for doing it. Lol
