Maybe try holding the keyfob up to the door handle when getting out. But it is not a solution in that you want to jump out real quick without thinking.

Default Bluetooth media

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem. When I pair my phone (Galaxy S6 Edge) to the truck the first time, it connects call and media so I can listen to the music or stream pandora from my phone. Everytime I turn off the engine and start it up again, the phone only connects to call audio. Is anyone else having this issue or know a fix?

Thanks, but I was referring to bluetooth, not a plug in.

An inspection camera helped locate the pin, and using a 10mm wrench over the pin it was pulled upward to release the rear drivers side seat back. I drilled a hole at the top of the bracket and looped a wire around the release lever. Apparently the strap was missing which the bald guy referred to in the video (page 29 / post 286) . Now I can store my towing supplies safely behind the seat.

That's a good idea. I have a strap on the passenger seat, but not on the driver side seat. I might have to do something like that myself.

Default light in hidden drawer

The sliding hidden drawer in the center console is really cool, but has anybody figured out how to turn off the little light when the drawer is open and driving. It turns off eventually if truck is not running, but stays on if running.

Sport Trac is sooo much better, not this stupid get to the higher gear as fast as possible gas milage BS. But what a pain that when you turn off the engine it defaults back. Any way to lock in Sport?
