Question Default 8" Productivity Screen

So I've read through this thread and have also tried searching for what I'm lookin for and haven't found anything related to it, so here it is...


I have a 2015 with the 2 8" screens and every time I get in with a fresh start the productivity screen always defaults to the Towing tab, no matter what I do. I haven't found anything in the settings or in the manual to change this, has anybody else figured this out?? Any help would on this would be very much appreciated

You have selected a trailer in one of the towing menus. Scroll through the towing menus and find/select "disconnect trailer". The dash screen will then go back to where it was when last used. I had the same issue once. Sorry I can't remember the exact menu but its there under towing.

Thank you!!! I've been racking my brain trying to figure that out! That makes sense though, because when I test drove the truck, it had a trailer named "hahahahahahaha" lol I asked the sales rep what that was about and he didn't know! Thanks again!

I posted the picture of mine removed in this section (page 60). It comes out just like any other headrest. Squeeze the tabs on both posts and pull. Voila! Useful cup holders!

It's a problem when you can't use the cup holders with the middle seat folded down, because the headrest is directly over them. I always have the seat folded down to use as an armrest.

It takes more than two hands, and strong, skinny fingers.

I eventually figured out one of the push buttons was on inside, not outside of pole. Once I found it, popped right out. Thanks!

Does anyone know how to flip down the left side of the back seat? On a 4 door. The right side you can flip down to get behind the seat, but the left side I can't figure out how to
