I'm hoping some of you other guys may have had this or know whats going on, all of these are annoyances and nothing major.

I have a 2016 XLT 302A with the 2.7 with some strange happening going on.

First is the sync pandora controls, they randomly just wont work anymore, if I cycle through the input sources using the "M" button on the steering wheel it will work again but in a dumb down version with no thumbs up or thumbs down option.

Second is the Auto start and stop, I personally can't stand it and usually turn it off until one day I forgot and sitting at a red light I noticed the "A" with the line through it to indicate its off. At the time I figured the vehicle finally learned that I don't use it and just kept it turned off. But then after about a week it resumed to normal operation and I'm back to hitting the button.

Third no matter what I do when I start the vehicle in the morning the center display comes up on the trailer set up page, I currently have about 1098 miles on an unsetup trailer lol.

Lastly this morning I stop fuel up and set my center display back from the trailer setup to the real time fuel economy readout and all of a sudden now it shows what gear I'm in on the right side of the screen, I like it but where the f**k did that come from.

So please my Ford loving brothers what the heck is going on lol

 

Well, congrats on the truck! I can't help with all the little gremlins you're experiencing but here's a recent thread that might help with the trailer tow screen.

Good luck!

Awesome thank you!! I will check this out when I get down with work today

One down 3 to go lol

 

The gears show because you hit the + switch on the shifter. You can use this to lock out gears.

 

I they lock in whenever you are in Drive? or only in the manual mode, either way good to know thanks!!

 

In drive once you turn it on, you can hit the - button and you will see the top gear disappear and so on as you keep hitting the - button.

 

I see good to know, I feel like there is so much in the truck Im going to be finding little things like this forever lol.

 

They can be locked out in D, T/H, S.

 

That just meant one of the factors that disables Auto S/S was active, e.g. battery needed to charge, engine wasn't up to temp, A/C needed to be active to keep cab comfortable, etc.

 

Also the seat belt has something to do with the auto start stop.
