Isn't there a home button or something? I know there is a black screen area where you select "phone" "Climate" "Map" and "radio" or something to that effect. My mom's 12 150 and my pioneer head unit have a "day" and "night" setting that dims the map, try that as well. Probably under options somewhere.

If I get up early enough, I'm going to go hassle a dealer and I'll look too.

Yeah I tried the day and night thing but it seems like it only works when using the navigation. It's either a white map or black.

Yeah you can turn the screen off by hitting the disp button

Yeah you were right. You have to do it through the settings. Thanks!

Go in the settings and turn the courtesy wipe off its in there mine doesn't do it that I recollect. It's a setting so you can wash your windshield and it pauses then wipes it one last time so it's clear.

I have my courtesy wipe turned on but I was more worried about it messing with the radio settings more then the wipe itself...

Anybody else find the need to change their air filter every 5k miles or whenever you change the oil? I feel the need to every time mine gets filthy.

Yeah, those get filled up quickly. I posted a pic here somewhere of my air filter at 15k miles and the bottom was just about completely matted over... ****ty part is I even blew it out with the airgun at 8k miles.... I will not run a cone filter or oiled filter on my trucks ever again so im going to make this one work when I get the time... I posted these before too..

They shouldn't pair up automatically though I know mine you have to go in manually and do it and I just want it set to my phone only.

Powerstroke_fan · Dec 23, 2013

hers pairs up automatically everytime i start it or she gets in there. If shes at the house and i leave it will come up and say phone disconnected.

12stroker · Dec 23, 2013

Yup she has it set as the primary phone and it will connect as long as her Bluetooth is on.

WHY NOT · Dec 24, 2013

I have mine set as the favorite phone or what ever it calls it and if my fiancé gets in the truck it will almost always connect hers before mine for some reason, both even have I phone 5's. I have no idea why it connects hers over mine even though I have mine set to connect over all others. To solve the problem I took her phone off the list LOL

My truck only has mine as the sync phone. For this reason LOL

So far I've put roughly 1,500 miles on my truck(bought with 28K on it) without the DEF cleaning, I assume primarily to the majority being highway miles. Occasionally while cruising in town it will say cleaning DEF for maybe 3-5 seconds then it will disappear. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm trying to figure out why it flashes this but immediately goes away soon after.

It should say cleaning exhaust filter, and yeah it just pops up and you lose 5-6 mpg for 20 min to 30 min till its done... cleans exhaust filter less during freeway speeds...
