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.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
