Yup, as mentioned, each key fob is matched to one of two memory seat settings. Also some options aren't present or customizable while the vehicle is running or driving. Did you try turning the key to "acc"? I know one of the first things i do when i buy a car is I RTFM before i write it off as a defective product.

^ I would try engine OFF, key to the ON position. Then go through the screen and see what you see. Some features disappear when the engine is running.

Just wanted to let everyone know that resetting the radio options (forget what the actual name is) back to factory settings seemed to give me all my Comfort options back to change. I turned them all off. So different Key faubs = different memory seat setting???

OP has couple minor complaints and it is a crappy brand, funny since most people have no issues (as with every brand there will be those that have bad luck) as mine has been pretty much perfect. You don't like it move on, joining a forum to complain and insult isn't helping your case. Maybe you should make friends with a Ford owner or better yet a Dodge, ya let us know how those trucks are doing, they all have a laundry list of complaints...

 

These threads sure get old, hope you get what ever it is you were looking to get out of joining here!

My previous $70,000 Tahoe was in the shop 30 times for stuff Chevy 'built' wrong... I'm not trying to sound like a jerk by dropping the price, but when it's my money and the product is "crappy", I have a right to call it that. I understand that your's might be great, and I will never buy a Ford, because they are even worse in my opinion.

 

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their opinions and help. I'm happy to see such an active forum for trucks. I previously only used forums for electronics. Now I have another one to browse to learn 'truck tricks'.

If you paid $70k your friend ripped you off. Maybe he is just selling you the lemons that get returned? I dilike my clunky transmission in this truck but I have owned enough vehicles now that I know it could and usually can be much worse in terms of things you find that you don't like. My sensors up front have been getting iced over as well but there really isn't anything you can do about that, it is not manufacturer specific.

 

If BMW or Mercedes made a truck (and it could actually work as well as cruise) then I would buy it in a heartbeat. Absolutely no issues with either of those brands for me, but that is about as far as my trouble free vehicles go.

 

And yes, different auto memory setting for each key fob so that when there are multiple drivers they can each have their own auto memory setting kick in. It is quite smart actually.

I didn't pay that for the Tahoe. :cool: And I totally agree, I wish I could get a Benz or a Beamer pickup.

Just take both keys out there once you've set your seat and mirror memory. Unlock with both and see what position the seat/mirrors goes to with each, or program setting 1 and 2 identical and you can use either one for the same.

What happens with the key fobs is the dealer loses one of the original keys (#1 or 2). They have another key and remote made and the lazy (or just stupid) tech in the service dept programs it as "next available slot" with takes 5 minutes and it adds it as key #3. So you have 3 keys programmed to your vehicle. the lost # 1 or 2, the # 1 or 2 that you have, and now # 3. Memory features don't work with keys #3 and higher.

 

What they should do in this case is delete all keys first and then relearn them. This takes about 20 minutes tops. That way your one original key and the new key get programmed as # 1 and 2 and you memory features will work correctly.

This is from the manual... Last night I had all the options, this morning, I have only CHIME VOLUME.

 

Comfort and Convenience

Select and the following may display:

  • . Auto Memory Recall
  • . Easy Exit Options
  • . Chime Volume
  • . Reverse Tilt Mirror
  • . Auto Mirror Folding

I had the same issue. The problem was the truck was running. Turned it off and settings came back.

      I suspect at some point in the near future, the hardware will be free and you pay a subscription to access the vehicle - alldata style.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
