Awesome!

If you are pulling forward into a parking spot, activate the 360 camera with the button on the dash (1 push) and use the grey lines in the birds eye view to line up the sides and front with the pavement markings. The front grey line on the display will line up nicely with the pavement marking to ensure you have pulled all the way into the space without going too far in.
Activate it using the button on the center console. Once activated, it will remain active at higher speeds even after restarting vehicle. An indication will appear in the instrument cluster.

First mod I am doing as well.To remove, simply press in the tabs on the posts, just like the other headrests in the vehicle, and pull it out.
I am considering storing this behind the rear seat, so that it is available when needed. Hope it will fit and not rattle around.

I tried reading a but didn't make it through them all. Here is my tip.
For trucks without the 8-inch screen.
Retrieving the factory pin code for the keypad on the door.
1. Insert 1 key into the ignition and cycle it to the run position for 1-2 second (Not start)
2. Remove the key
3. Insert your second key in the ignition and start the truck.
Your factory keypad code will display on your productivity screen.
This does work on the trucks with the larger screen, but those you can find it through my ford touch anyways.

You can also store it under the center seat I think. That is where I put the cup holder when my granddaughter sat there. Didn't want her stepping on it.
I can't seem to get the head rest off. I can get to the button and push it in but that sucker is stuck!

I removed my head rest long ago, and don't remember if there are two buttons? one on each post.
I use the holes there for my phone setup. Bent some stainless steel 1/2" tubing in a U shape and slides right into the holes. I attached an articulating phone bracket/holder to that.
