I have a 2021 MachE
I recently replaced 12v battery
When starting my car the last few mornings my radio is on random AM sation and this morning my programmed Sirius stations was gone??? I never got any heads up 12v was low I was just locked out of my car one morning. So now wonder if these could be signs 12v is going bad and then if that’s the case what’s draining it? I plan on getting it tested to see if it’s low. But was seeing if anyone had this and it may be something else TIA
Also recent updates do could updates cause it to be on the AM station and clear out presets?

I have experienced the radio opening on AM with the last two updates but did not lose my presets. On previous updates I have lost my HD portion of my presets. I consider this a first-world problem since it is easy to correct. But if II have to correct everyday it would be unacceptable.

Ford updates are well known for removing presets on the radio. There's no fix for it. Unfortunately you just have to deal with it. I took a picture of my presets so that way when updates happened I would know what I had and where it was.
