Thanks much,

If you look behind the drivers side rear seat there is a silver latch with a small pin. The pin moves up and rearward to release the seat. Do this with the bottom folded in the up position.

Got it! 5 minutes and a piece of wire, and I'm in business!

Thanks!

I don't know, but I wish the "auto" brightness setting would actually drop it to "night" mode level when it's actually night out. Instead, I had to flip between "day" and "night" modes before saying screw it and leaving it on auto.

My bad for not reading through the entire thread even though I created it, but I came across something today that I should have seen day one. I've griped about the rear backup sensor being soooo loud in my truck that my wife can hear it on the other side of the house when I'm backing into the garage.

Well, you can turn it off in the settings. Rear backup alert>off. It defaults it to off but you still have the option when you put it in reverse to turn it back on.

Default Second Gear Start

Just FYI... I didn't anything on this, but, you can manually select second gear and the truck will start in second gear - Less torque can be handy in certain slippery situations.

Did you set the brightness you wish for auto night mode?

Thanks for making me look again!

I don't have an auto night mode. I have auto dim on/off, and auto/day/night/off modes.

I had it set for auto dim off, and auto mode. So maybe now it'll dim more at night and not be so blinding.

Could be another spot for storage or where people are putting subwoofers. Just thought I would add that here.

I could not find the lever to push. I have a 2015 XLT SCREW.
