If you are talking about the hey the battery is dead in my FOB how do I start my truck? Or how do I make a extra FOB? If so it's in the fold down center seat, I believe it's just a place to stick it in. Not a nice holder like on the console models.

If you have the 40-20-40 front seat, remove the headrest from the middle fold down seat, so you can actually use the cup holders with the seat back folded down!

First timer here. 2015 f150 3.5 Lariat and lovin it! Finally made my way through the 60 pages of posts here and have made numerous trips to the garage trying new things. I feel like I just about have things adjusted to my liking, have done the burnouts in the sport and advancetrac sport mode, man is this thing fast, and have been trying to figure out all the other bells and whistles thanks to this site.
Still have one question I'm hoping someone can help me with. On the touch screen, is there a way in the settings to override the need for the vehicle to be stopped before getting into some of the functions. Would be nice for the passenger to be able to get in some of the options without the need to come to a complete stop, especially while we are still playing around with all this new, fancy technology.
Looking forward to staying up to date in this forum and learning more about this truck. It's my first ford truck and newest vehicle since 2010 and man have they come a long ways. Hopefully I can shed some light on a few things also.
TIA,
Brad

To my knowledge there is no overide as it is a safety feature. On my wife's Edge I haven't noticed to many functions with this restriction other than the navigation.

Default Engineer test mode

With the vehicle off, hold down the ok button on the steering wheel and switch the ignition to the on position to activate test mode.

What exactly does that do? I don't have nav on mine, so I'm curious what it might unlock or enable.

Just got done with all 60 pages and I haven't even signed yet. I took this beauty for a 24 hr test drive last weekend but it's missing a couple of options I want. Waiting to hear back from the dealer on a truck that fits my needs. I can't wait to try all of these tricks out!
