I flew to north Caroline and bought /rode a bike back to Houston
I know that I would have to pay my state's sales tax. I just wanted to inform the forum that there isn't a sales tax issue.

Why would it matter where the customer lives? The Purchase Dealer gets a Sale, the Dealer that takes delivery gets the Service.

One more thing I found out today is that if you order the 18 inch LT (light truck) tires you get Wrangler's Adventure with Kevlar tires that are rated for deep snow (with logo on tire). Particularly handy where I live as this is mandatory between December and March. Saved me the purchase of winter tires.
You can also change the programming to unlock all doors, or only the drivers with the keypad or fob. Both are buried in the settings. My wife's combo on the door and her FOB only unlocks the driver's door. My combo and FOB unlocks everything. I want my wife to get away, I just want to get to my chosen hardware in a timely fashion

Just figured out that you can fold the mirrors in AFTER you've turned the engine off as long as you don't pen the door, once you do that all power is cut

Press and hold both the lock and unlock
buttons on the remote control for four
seconds to disable or enable two-stage
unlocking. Disabling two-stage unlocking
allows your entire vehicle to unlock with
one press of the button. The direction
indicators flash twice to indicate a change
to the unlocking mode. The unlocking
mode applies to the remote control and
keyless entry keypad.
Intelligent access at the driver door will
unlock your entire vehicle when you disable
two-stage unlocking

So I just tried this. I thought I had it licked but I guess not. It can only be programmed one way for all FOB's / Codes. My mistake was not going back and checking my wife's after I set it to "mine" (IE changing the whole system back.

If you leave it on two stage you kind of have access to both. One press for unlock driver, two press for unlock everything. Unfortunately everything locks together.

The prob is, there's a 3 sec delay from driver door unlocked then 3 sec then press again and all doors open

There sound be no delay press once, press 2x and all the doors unlock, like my wife's Mazda

She also uses the same outside, not outside and inside

It is a little frustrating going from my BMW where everything can be custom coded through the DME, and the Audi where everything just works the way you want, to a truck that I paid MORE for and does not have everything ironed out.

I will say, it is seamless in how you can switch bluetooth audio sources. I have not owned a single Audi BMW or Porsche that has managed to figure that simple friggin task out. My wife's audi you have to turn the current source off, turn the car off and then back on again. It says it has connected to the new source.....but it hasn't. Thank you ford for managing the little things!

I have a wife and 4 kids so the amount of time I only want to unlock 1 door is limited. And really, unless I'm trying to keep carjackers out (also not very often), I don't care if all 4 and the tailgate unlock.

Frankly, I'm more irritated that the tailgate and other doors stay locked when I get out with the engine running. I find myself having to push the unlock button to let kids in when I stop at the school to pick them up, or walking back to the door to unlock the tailgate. Why can't there be an "unlock-on-park" type setting?

Yes indeed!!! Thanks so much, have been wondering about this for a long time.

Same exact story and frustration here, minus 2 kids
