How do I turn on FM radio in a 2025 Ford Mustang?

Answer

On a 2025 Ford Mustang, open the SYNC entertainment sources and select AM/FM or Radio, then tune an FM station. If FM disappeared after an update or profile change, reset the entertainment system or check that the radio source was not removed from the favorites bar.

Before you start: stop right away if…

  • Adjust entertainment settings only while the vehicle is safely parked.

Follow these steps

  1. Open audio sources

    From the home screen, open Entertainment or Audio, then browse Sources for AM/FM, Radio, or FM.

    You should see: FM appears as a selectable source.

  2. Add Radio back to the favorites bar if missing

    If FM is missing from the shortcut bar, open the full source list or edit audio favorites and pin Radio or AM/FM again.

    You should see: FM is easy to select from the main audio screen.

  3. Restart the SYNC entertainment system

    With the vehicle in Park, perform Ford’s SYNC restart method for your model year, then look for FM again.

    You should see: The radio source returns after the screen reloads.

  4. Check for system updates or dealer support

    In Settings, check for available SYNC or vehicle software updates. If FM still never appears, contact Ford support or a dealer with the symptom that FM worked previously.

    You should see: An update restores FM, or support advises the next diagnostic step.

Extra tips

What to look for: The Radio or AM/FM source tile, any error when selecting FM, and whether SiriusXM or streaming apps still appear.

Before you change anything: Park safely before changing vehicle settings. Note whether FM vanished after a system update. Avoid sideloading apps onto the vehicle screen. Have the owner’s manual radio section available if possible.
