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:
https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/enable-am-radio-on-2023-lightning.15641/
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:

Code:
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.

Just checked and while the update does not mention it… turns out my AM radio works now. I’ve had the AM button for some time but it would not tune any stations. Now it works
