I noticed the same. Really should be an Auto feature. I drove for 60+ miles before I realized it was still on.

The only way to disable the alarm is to lock with valet key. 7/8 and 9/0 sets alarm, I know from taking ferry rides.

Low and behold, there is a physical hard key hidden in the fob, which allows you to not only get in the drivers door if fob stops working, but also allows you to lock the center console. (so far I have not found in the manual that actually states it does this, but it in fact does lock the console)
My dealer gave me an extra key for the center and the glove box, it works for both. You should've gotten one, you shouldn't have to open up your fob every time. I would contact your dealer and ask for one

Check the 2014 section of the forums. This is a 2015 area and the truck has changed a lot. This is probably why nobody has answered or attempted to answer your question after three times asking it.

Default Strange light in rear window

I'm a proud owner of a 2015 Platinum supercrew. shortly after I received my truck, i've noticed a strange small light in my rear view mirror towards the back window of my truck while driving at night. I couldn't see it during the day, so figured it to be the street lighting reflecting off the back glass in a weird yet annoying way. The light would not always be present, so now its becoming beyond annoying.
As it turns out, if you leave the sliding storage door open in the center console front. The light in that storage will reflect off of the back glass and catch your eye every time you look in the rear view mirror.
Just thought i'd share that, so no one spends time trying to find the source of light in your rear view.

There is a hidden button under the brake peddle that closes your center console lid
