Ah. I’ll take a look at the video. Thanks!

Yep yep not a problem, glad to help. On the link scroll down and there is a tab called installation and it has a video on the process.

Just watched it. I’ll check it out in the truck tomorrow. Thanks again!

You can create a new one, but you can’t change the factory code.

I just discovered that of you press and hold the volume knob, it activates the calm screen.

It does not seem to work for my 23 Pro

Big knob on the 15” screen.

I guess size matters after all

The wireless phone charging pad has a fan underneath that automatically turns on and off when you place or remove a phone from the pad respectively.

I didn't even know that was a thing for the platinums. Pretty certain my Lariat does not have it. Last time I tried to use it, it got so hot it shut off Android Auto and stopped charging. I gave up on it after that and just plug in to keep the phone topped up.

This is interesting. I've seen tons of complaints on here about the wireless charger but I use it daily and while it's certainly slower than a cable I have had no problems. But I do have a Platinum and there is a fan. Thought everyone had it!

How do you do that? I have played around a bit and can't figure it out. Thanks!

Open Youtube, make sure you're signed in of course, then there is a "compass" icon in the top left. Click that, and you should see the option for Youtube TV toward the bottom.

I found this. Evidently a fan does exist.

This assume you have been able to load the YouTube app. I've tried to add it on my XLT, but no joy. Maybe it's a Lariat and higher trim level thing?

To enter calm screen on the 12” screens use the physical button below the screen that looks like a screen with a line through it. Press it again to turn the screen off.

After you punch in the code to unlock the doors, hold the 7/8 button for a second or two.

Also, pressing 7/8 and 9/0, at the same time, will lock all of the doors.

It's a great alternative for when the door handle nipple won't respond at all

Depending on your trim, when you fold the driver's side part of the rear seat back down, there can be quite a bit of room back there, much of it behind the fuzzy wall covering stuff. I guess higher trim models have audio gear and such there?

I'm considering cleaning the grease in the area and replacing or modifying the fuzzy stuff so as to mount some sort of cargo net there....maybe sew a big panel with lots of mesh pockets for emergency or other infrequently used stuff.

It would seem logical that short range models have some empty space where the long range trucks hold their extra battery cells, but perhaps that's inside the sealed battery box?

That's where I keep my j+ booster 2 mobile charger

Sure, but we have a dedicated button to put it in calm screen and hit it again and the screen will turn off entirely. That's something those hoity toity lariat and platinums can't do
