For normal driving my tow mirrors are adjusted too high to see the area immediately around the truck when backing up. It would be nice if the mirrors could memorize a setting for reverse, meaning that they would tilt down when the truck is in reverse. But, Ford missed that feature.

Then it dawned on me... I adjusted both mirrors while backing up and then stored that setting to the #3 memory button, which was unused. Now I can push the #3 button and both mirrors tilt down for backing up. The seat and steering wheel stay the same. The only rough spot is having to shift to Park or Neutral for the memory buttons to work.

My idea was rather than shell out a pile of cash for a new stereo, take the data only SIM card out of my iPad and put it in a spare iphone I have. Then plug it into the sync, stow it in the storage box on the console and forget about it. Now I have streaming music, wifi hotspot, always on gps to locate my truck, turn by turn directions, Siri. What's not to like? I checked online and it looks like you can take an iPad data sim and use it in an iPhone. 10 bucks a month on my plan. If it works I'll have a poor mans sync three. I'll let you all know.

I hate it when my vehicle tries to be smarter than I am, it is like these stinking computers and their spall chukers.
