What update enabled the AM radio in 23 Lightning? Specifically the number

[C*11]

I still don't have AM radio and am being told I just don't have the update yet....but I see some of you have had it for over a year. I understand it can take time to roll out to every vehicle but after a year I should have it!! Can somebody please tell me the the number associated with that update? It seems I can't get any help without it.

BTW: I've tried everything suggested in previous threads-there is no AM available in the IP screen.....weirdly it does show up in the center screen but does nothing when I tap it. I've even tried entering an AM # on the FM band but still won't work

It should be an ACM update.

It may have been this one. There is a release note for the MachE that specifically calls out AM but I don’t see one for the Lightning.

Yeap....That is the one (23-PUO1101-RAD-PS). I received it back in December.

Thank you for confirming, I was unsure after reading the above description

Thank you, 2nd confirmation, that must be the one!

IIRC, it also seemed for some people that it wouldn't show the AM tab initially. But if you clicked the input numpad and entered an AM frequency, it would show.

And this guy figured how to do it with FORScan:

I had the opposite issue. After the update the AM Radio tab showed up but selecting it did nothing as this video shows:

It turns out my AM tuner was not actually enabled in the Audio module. The following Forscan change fixed the issue for me:

ACM 727-01-02 xxxx x0xx xx--

change from 1 (disabled) to 0 (am enabled)

Thanks @bmwhitetx for helping me find this.

If what you're missing is the option for AM radio on the touchscreen, it can be added with FORScan by enabling it here.

If you have an 8, change it to a 0. If you have a 9, change it a 1 and so on.

So in summary, it appears these two changes will enable AM radio (2023 Lightning specific):

ACM 727-01-02 xxxx x0xx xx-- change from 1 (disabled) to 0 enabled
APIM 7D0-01-01 xxxx x2xx xx-- change from A to 2

In looking at my 50+ Lightning database, all but one vehicle had the APIM set at 2 and almost everyone had the ACM change except Matt and a few others. So sounds like the OTA mostly worked.
