When I press the "M" button the system seems to randomly cycle through the options. Sat, AM, FM, BT, other Sat stations, etc. Is there a way to tell it what to cycle through like I just want FM and BT as I use nothing else. TIA!

That would be helpful. It would be nice if a screen popped up when you pressed the "M" that allowed you to scroll through the options instead of having to go through each one individually.

Since we are listing things like this, I'd like to be able to choose any particular setting and turn it into a favorite that can be added as a button in the main layout somewhere. I would like to be able to turn off the screen without having to go digging in the sub menus each time. Disabling unused media options would also be nice.

It's a pain when you mis-push buttons and nave to cycle thru all selections instead of being able to return to where you were.

You can use Forscan to disable Sirius if you don't have a subscription. Look at the spreadsheet in the Forscan thread... you may be able to remove other stuff as well. Keep in mind that, once removed, it's gone for good unless you change the bits back. There is no way to eliminate it from the "M" steering wheel button but still have it accessible via the touchscreen.

Actually my Sirius is activated. Not sure how as I did not do it. The Truck was a demo so perhaps Ford did it. I do use Sirius occasionally and also have this 6 month free trial the truck came with that I apparently do not need to activate.
