Need advise on ACM for non Sync to Sync 4 swap

[MattinNC]

I'm gathering parts for non-Sync to Sync 4 swap in my '23 Lariat (non-sync). In zackmd1's original post the ACM recommended is the M1PT-18K810-AB. Unfortunately I cant see to locate one, but I'm unsure how specific this model needs to be. I'm interested to find out if others having done this swap, have used other ACM model receivers?

I'm finding many that are model M1PT-18K810-DA / DB and look like the following:

A search on Car-part shows a few different numbers, MX71-18D804-GH / GJ / GF and look like this:

If you have any insight on which receiver would be good to use or have another suggestions, please comment. Thanks.

Thanks Ron! I had discounted the M1PT18K810AC / AB models because it didn't appear they have the USB port. I didn't want loose that. Also car-part site does not have a model trim selection so don't know if the car has sync3 and a lot of vehicles listed don't have the part number.

Anyway, good to know any sync3 reciever will work. There are lots available that fit, just may support different features.

I should also add, that I prefer to find a Sync3 ACM that has Bluetooth, HD Radio and SiriusXM. If you know of any please let me know.

I know you asked over 6 moths ago, but I am in the thick of this now... I have an ACM from a bronco sport, and it has SXM and HD. Bluetooth I believe is a function of the APIM if I am not mistaken. I went with the 8" Sync4 upgrade per the XL/XLT to Sync 4 upgrade thread here. When I first powered it on, I had HD radio that worked and tuned, but an error about the sxm antenna even though I added the recommended antenna. I also had DTCs in the ACM so I loaded the As-built from the thread, and while the ACM now works without DTCs, I lost HD tuning, and SXM still says antenna issue.

Any way I used a M1PT18K810DB from a Bronco Sport, and it has HD, SXM, and works with the APIM I got from a F150. Still trying to get it working the way I want. Non HD FM works, but signal is week, and seek spins the entire dial without stopping, so I think the BS ACM is set for a different antenna setup than the Maverick. Hopefully this is configurable.
