I haven't seen this one yet: On the reverse camera view, there's a little "+" in the upper left corner. Tap it and the image zooms to the hitch/receiver area. Nice!

I don't remember seeing this yet but if you hit the factory remote start sequence twice it will double the run time. For example if you have it set up to time out at 10 minutes and you remote start, then at anytime before it shuts off you hit it again it will add another 10 minutes run time in addition to the time left from the first cycle.

Might be a repeat, but any lights left on including the lights in the bed turn off automatically if you forget. I tested them all, because I am kinda dumb and leave lights on all the time.

How can you start the truck if the key fob is dead? My truck is new I cant find a key hole anywhere, and I am too lazy to open the manual.

In front of gear shifter is a little 6x4" tray area, remove rubber / plastic mat and there is a cutout for fob. Place fob in there and then it will work.

Okay thank you! I found that spot, I just did not realize that was the spot to put a dead fob.

Any idea on how, if possible, to keep the bed light on while driving? I know it shuts off after 10 mins or over 3mph.

I have not seen this trick posted in this thread so I thought I would add it here. Yesterday I had a problem with my 2016 Lariat with my display for radio, climate, Navigation, etc. It was totally dead. Tried shutting off and restarting truck. Nothing. Did a search of entire forum and found you can reset the system.
Push in the power button on the center of the left hand ****, and simultaneously push the right side seek button. About 2-5 seconds and the system came back to life. No loss to any previous settings.
