Question/Clarification on adding HD ACM and the necessary reprogramming of APIM and ACM

[beatstanfurd]

Hello everyone,

Late to the FORScan reprogramming game. I picked up a HD enabled ACM from eBay (part# EB5T-19C107-FA) and planned on installing it this weekend. Thank you to all the work everyone put into determining the correct bits to change to enable it. I would like someone to confirm (sanity check) my planned changes before I actually make the changes.

APIM needs to be changed

My current (as built) is:

7D0-01-01: 2221 1000 6B97

but to enable the soft button I'll need the following for

7D0-01-01: 2221 1003 6B97

For the ACM, my understanding is that I need to use FORScan to backup my existing programming of the ACM. Once the HD capable ACM is installed, back up the HD ACM original settings (for safe keeping) and then write the as-built data of my original ACM to the HD ACM, but change

727-01-01: 1A01 3808 008B

to

727-01-01: 1201 3808 008B

Is that it?

What is the sound fix for and is it necessary that I found listed in the FORScan 2011-2015 Explorer spreadsheet?

Since my Explorer is a XLT 2014, do I use the 01 for XLT w/Sync (what it currently is in the as-buit) or do I use the hd fix and use 0F instead?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and any info you can offer.

I’d say give it a go with those values and see if HD radio is playing and the sound is correct. I probably should do a video on it. But I’m just not good at making videos lol.

I was the one who put those values in. It worked for me. Even if you get those bits wrong, nothing bad will happen. You could always go back to your factory bits.

Welcome to the Forum.
Please add the 'Required' "Trim Level" (XLT) to your profile so it shows in the margin. Very helpful info at times. Thanks and good luck.

Done and thank you for the welcome.

I did not see the last part of your question. If the sound is all weird, then use the HD fix and it should work.
