Sometimes, you just need to relieve some pressure.

Default How do I get this screen configuration on my truck?

You don't unless you buy a 2015 or older F150. That is the screen for My Ford Touch which was replaced by Sync3 in 2016.

lots of good info, thanks. I tried to disconnect the door chime and disconnected the blue and grey wire. This worked but only if the ignition is on. Any ideas which wire to turn it off for the accessories key position? I don't want to trial and error it in case I do something screwy and void the warranty lol.
After disconnecting the blue and grey wire, does the chime stop if you have the key in the ignition in the OFF position and the door open?

Read the other thread (https://www.f150forum.com/f7/easy-gu...7/#post5470050) about this and came away thinking I just needed to discon the blue wire on my ‘18- confused...

This picture came from that thread-

Don't know if this was mentioned because I kind of skipped through this thread, and I know it works for 15' and 16' trucks. If for some reason you forget your door code or purchased your truck used and didn't receive one you can retrieve it thru your info display, But you need both sets of keys or Smart Keys to accomplish this.

1: Insert 1st key into ignition and switch to on without starting it for about 4 seconds
2: turn ignition off and remove key
3: Insert 2nd key into ignition and switch to on without starting it, and your door code will display
Don't know how it works with the Smart Key, because I only have the actual keys and it worked for me.

Here's a youtube link that shows you how to do it with both styles of keys

the key hole is for your key and will release that lock, the hole that will be there is how you lower your spare tire.
