Change is good and I know that but some things should never. My first Ford was back in 03 when I purchased 2 Explorer sporttracs the same year and I fell in love with the door keypad instantly. Since then my code has always been the same. This way I rely on muscle memory and have very few instances where I lock myself out. To unlock the rest of the doors has always been code then hit 5-6. Now they changed it to 3-4 and I am left with my tailgate open everytime I go to open the rest of the doors. Anyone know if there is a way to change that? Also does anyone know how to change the wallpaper on the sync 3 system?

 

At this time the wallpaper on Sync 3 can not be changed. Possibly in future software releases but not today

Sync 3 also does not have the ability to run a Vehicle Health Report - which was available with Sync 2

 

The key code functions are the same as it was on all our vehicles, a 2009, a 1995 Mercury and an 86 Taurus that had the key code. Maybe bc it's vertical it feels different?

 

I don't notice it different than my 08 f250. No other tailgate locked electrically prior to this year, no?

 

Nah codes are definitely different. For me at least they are and I have owned 4 prior to this one

 

Why not just set it to unlock all doors with your code and not bother with hitting the button to unlock all doors. Unless you live in a high crime area that is where truck hijacking is common.

 

3-4 has opened all the doors on my '10 and my '13. Now my '15 also.

If things were kept the same, added functionality could never cleanly be added.
