Glad you like it, make sure the truck is locked with the key remote then try it. Took 24 hours for their system to update before mine started working 100%

Maybe the install tapped into a wire that's giving the app a hard time?

Sure, heres a quick iphone pic of the interior. Still waiting on the DVD/cam package to come in. The leather is aftermarket leather similar to Katskinz or something. It seems to be about the same quality as stock leather. I was hoping it would be a little glossier but I should have checked the samples before paying. I still like it though, don't get me wrong. The dealer raved about how the leather was nicer and more durable than stock but I don't see much difference. You can see the aftermarket seat heater rocker switch between the recline lever and the powerseat button on the side. They work TEN times better than the crap ones that Ford has, plus they don't cycle. If you leave them on, they STAY on. So when you remote start the truck, as long as the switch is on, the seats are toasty!

If you are a small business owner you can also get 1500$ in free work related options. Tool boxes, racks and so forth. My dealer did the hard bed cover, tint and heavy duty floor mats. Enjoy it, looks great

My buddy did the same thing last year, got all the free stuff ...his accountant also said he was able to write the whole thing off as a business expense come tax season...

It has always gotten 15 or so but since I got miles on it the milege seems to be getting better. I have about 25K on it now. I drive really fast most of time and average 16ish. A couple weeks ago I checked it on a short 100 mile trip, all highway driving mostly 85-90 and it was right on 17 when I got there.
The new urea really helps with the power and mileage. Some people were against it, but from what I have read and the way mine runs I think it is great.

If you got all that for 1500 your did GREAT! I paid 1500 just for the heated leathers seats! Congrats on the truck its a beauty... best of luck with it....

Thanks for the pics/info. Awesome price for heated leather plus electronics. Only time will tell whether the aftermarket holds up but I've heard good things about katskins. With the heat button, you can't go wrong!
So Pioneer head unit for the DVD/backup. Be interested to hear how that works out.

waterboy222 08-11-2011 03:24 PM

The pioneer is kind of a cheapy. And I just found out today that I have to have another piece that gets the XM.. Startin to add up but should work fine for what I want out of it!

I ordered the panel to the left of the steering wheel that has the DIC built in and the automatic climate control unit on ebay for $170 this morning. Dealer says the harnesses are already in, just need the units to make it work. So now I have the normal computer instead of the **** one the LT comes with and will have the fancier climate control. The only thing missing from the LTZ is the moonroof, upholstered doors and steering wheel stereo controls..

Very nice truck, you will really like that nav unit. If you want the mpg and miles till empty added to your info center your dealer can reflash the unit to an upgraded model for about $50. They may tell you they can't, but they can... did it in my sierra.

waterboy222 08-19-2011 09:51 AM

I was told that the reason mine can't access the MPG and MTE is because I dont have the correct selector buttons.. So once the panel arrives with the "Driver Select" buttons, I should be able to access it.. We'll see!
