IIRC, there is a mini USB below the "pad" on the dash, above the radio. Peeps use a micro-USB adapter to run a second USB plug.
I think.

Not sure if it was hidden but in my FX4 center cup holders. If you take out the rubber you can fit a big Gatorade bottle also a 32oz nalgene bottle.
Also of you long hold the switch to dim and brighten the dash lights it turns on the interior lights also the bed light.
Can't wait to hear what other have found!

Coming down I-80 into Truckee,CA this morning I watched my gas gauge go from 1/4 to almost E and the MPG screen wind down from 180 miles to 150 miles remaining in about 2 minutes. I thought it either had to be pressure from the elevation or I had a leak.
At the same time I noticed that my 6 5 4 3 2 1 gear indicator (that is vertical on the right of the screen) was gone? So I now thought I have some sort of electronic F-up.
Pulled off, put some gas in it and then played with buttons when I turned the 654321 letters on again by hitting the + button on the gear shift
This was a new feature to me. & I still have not permanently mastered the disabling of the seat belt alarm.

The +/- on the gear shifter can be used to lockout gears and to disable/enable the display. If no gears are shown hit the (+) and gears will show (maybe the (-) works as well, I just normally hit the plus). If all gears are shown and you hit the (+) it'll turn off the gears from showing.
Use the (-) when gears are shown to lock out gears, Have all 6 showing and hit (-) once, now have an automatic 5 spd, hit minus again now have an automatic 4 spd and so on. Hit the (+) and now you've added back a gear to your available automatic gearing.
Read the manual on the seat belt alarm, it tells you how to do it. The first time I did it it took me two tries to actually get it. I would read the steps at least twice and then attempt doing it.
