2016 Sirius Radio Channel Limitation

[VernP]

Hi All,
I do read all the posts weekly that may pertain to my 2016 SHO. It's mostly stock w/a mild tune that puts a smile on my face when I step on it and because it's black most people that see it in their rearview mirror will move over to the right lane. It's just a nice comfortable car for long trips. However, I can only get to Sirius Radio 210. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

Is this a new issue for your car? I found this on a ford truck site

Sirius XM on New Superdutys - Lack of Some Stations? - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

2017 - 2022 Super Duty - Sirius XM on New Superdutys - Lack of Some Stations? - Hello! We currently have Sirius XM on 2019 F-250 with Sync3. However, the radio seems to be unable to play the higher bandwidth stations (i.e. above about station 178). It won't let us manually enter a station number...

The short answer is no. It wasn't until I tried to find XM stations in the 300 channel range that I found this out. When I called Sirius they said it was a limitation of the radio unit. I can get these stations through my Android phone but wondered if a newer SHO is able to get these higher XM stations.

Hey thanks, I do have sync 3, version 1.1.1.1139. I'll see if Ford has a newer version. Because when i went to download on the link you shared w/me, my security software (McAfee) believed there's a virus on the 'Setup.exe' and prevented me to go any further. I appreciate your help though.

Certain channels are only available thru their app, above a certain number.
