I've updated my Sync 3 from v3.0 to v3.4. Has anyone found a way for the Album Artwork to display on SiriusXM or the radio station logo to show on AM/FM? I've seen some posts on here about the APIM being the culprit and can't handle the data from SiriusXM or the radio stations.

There are FORSCAN settings that sometimes work, but not always.
Do you know what the parameter name is in (assuming) the APIM?

Do you have a link/could point me to those FORSCAN settings?
Last I remember seeing it, it was in the drop down options for the APIM. Don't have my 2020 anymore otherwise I would hook up to it and look.
For the SXM album artwork, try sending a refresh signal (from SXM website) to the radio. See if that corrects it.

I'll take a look, but believe you may be describing an older version of FORSCAN which had the option to provide a Firmware update to various modules. Thanks.

I've tried that once, but will give it another shot and then wait a few days to see if anything corrects itself.
Nope, not at all what I am describing.
Several of the modules, like the APIM and BdyCM have drop down selectable options built in to FORSCAN. They modify the code for you.
FORSCAN Beta still has the ability to do some limited Module updates, but if I am doing a module update, I use FDRS, which I also have.
FYI, not my first time in FORSCAN or FDRS...

No, I understand you're familiar with FORSCAN, but on the updated version I do not see anything in the APIM dropdown that would address the 'No SiriusXM Album Artwork'. Do you have anything more specific in mind that may direct me to narrow my focus? Thanks.Nope, not at all what I am describing.

They might have removed the option because it was inconsistent, and only worked for certain on specific APIM Hardware versions. Let me see if I can find the documentation on it today.

fwiw, on any of my systems I've only ever seen text info on 'current playing' on FM radio, and its highly erratic and variable depending on station.
So, all the documentation I can find points the breaking point being in the 2020 model year for the Expedition. That was when the Hardware version of the APIM changed to allow this consistently. That tracks because of the map change on the 2020+ also.
