Hints, Tips and Tricks
I've seen a few different threads about this or that, but I was wondering if we could consolidate all of the neat things that you might not know about or don't want to spend time reading the intricacies of the manual to find out.
For example, the thread on getting the transmission gear to show up in the instrument cluster, what the keyhole near the license plate is for, how to get the darn weather to show up on the productivity screen, etc.
If it's a good idea, run with it. If not, feel free to delete! I know I've learned a bunch of new things about my truck on this site. Chalk it up to this being my first new Ford and not being familiar with the Ford layout, or my laziness to browse all of the threads (because search sucks) to find new things.

Do any of you guys with the 15's know if it's possible to disable the seat belt ****? On the previous trucks there's a procedure in the manual that I used to disable it. I'm hoping it's still possible.

This may be old news to some of you previous Ford owners but applies to those of you who have kids or wives that drive your vehicle and you want to put some limits on them with MyKey:
The area where the SD and USB ports are has a rubber liner- lift up that liner and there is a perfect indentation for the FOB to fit in. The rubber liner fits smoothly over it.
You can turn the auto high beam feature off, as well as set the time limit for your remote start. Default is 10 minutes I believe but this can be changed to 5 or 15.
I have a question- I know how to change the ambient lighting color once the vehicle is started, but is there a way to change the default color from blue to something else? I'm talking about when the vehicle is remotely started or when you first get in the truck/before you start it.
