You can also wrap the spare fob in heavy duty tin foil, no key detected. Double wrap and test. Some have used a tin box. I tried a mint tin box that would work in some places but not others so went with tin foil, plus it looks like a piece of trash..
The reason I do this is other people drive my truck for a shuttle on canoe trips and I would not want them taking my fob apart all the time. Wrap it and put it some where and done. Taking the batteries out is the best though if seldom needed..

Regarding max air: If you have the air conditioning set for a particular way (for instance, fan speed 3) and turn the dial to Max AC it will go to the max air settings (full speed fan, full cold, etc.) When the truck has cooled enough, instead of working your way back to how you had it set up, just click to Max AC again and it will put them back as you had them.
And, not really a tip, but if you have Sync 2 and the radio is off, hit the button for voice command and say "radio on." It will reply, "This command is not available if your radio is off. Turn your radio on and start again." It doesn't make sense but it made me laugh.
Telling it "That should be your job" has no effect.

Just joined the gang today.
I just picked up my 2015 screw today. Found this site and read every one of the 99 pages. Just wanted to say thanks for all the great ideas and tomorrow I'm screwing some holes by my license plate for drainage.

I've been testing the ACC to see how it reacts in different situations...and I've found that when following someone into a right hand turn (with a green light), with the turn signal on, the truck will completely loose sight of the vehicle in front, but it will remain at the current speed untill you are through the turn, then will accelerate, catching up to the vehicle in front once again. Love this truck, and ACC!

Just found it cool that there is a difference in the way it responds, between lane changing using a signal and making a turn using a signal. Guess it's speed dependent somewhat.
When I'm overtaking someone, I hit the signal, and when I'm halfway in the passing lane (or less), the accelerator kicks in and takes me back up to speed.
I assumed that when the vehicle in front of me was out of sight, that the accelerator would kick back in...but it didn't. The vehicle remained at the same speed though out the turn, then it accelerated back up to speed.

I lost sight of it...can my truck see through walls?
