zz28 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hey folks! I just got a 2019 F150 at work. It is kind of a stripped down model but it looks like is has the satellite radio antenna already on the truck on the passenger side like my personal truck. The factory radio does not have a satellite option on it. I was wondering if i could get the SiriusXM adaptor/module and make it work? Or ad an aftermarket adaptor/module? How can I find out if the antenna is really there? Pull the dash apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Go aftermarket. Adding the Ford parts will be prohibitively expensive as well as not be able to be programmed to operate properly with IDS/FDRS at your dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKX1960 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Not sure if it's harder or easier these days, but I did this with an 07 MKX. I forgot to order it and just got my order in under the wire, so too late to change. My dealer added the module and it operated same as it would have from the factory. I don't recall what the price was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
