Hey DanMc85,
Sent you the following PM a week and a half ago and haven't hear back from you. I have a 15 Sync 2 502a Lariat. Loaded splash screens via flash drive as per your directions and am at a dead end as to how to enable them...:

Hey Dan,
You never finished the instructions on how to install the splash screens to TexasFording on the forum thread. l transferred everything from the flash drive according to your instructions and don't know how to enable them. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks,
Chris

Only way around that is to either buy the corresponding panel cluster or sending it off to someone who can re-program the odometer like Anthony whose member name here on forums is Carcorrection; I believe he can also do this kind of programming with his equipment.
Thank you for that info.
Here are other things I hope the community can find...

Capability to tune to odd and even number stations on the radio
-Because I am stationed in Europe I can't tune to the exact stations here.

Capability to change base temp for auto setting with remote start.
-According to the manual when remote start climate control is set to auto if below a "certain" temperature the heated seats and heated steering wheel are active. I want this to happen at 50 degrees not 32.

Capability to set mirrors to auto fold in after shut off. Even better if they could use the sensors from parallel parking to judge if they should be folded in.
-I know this is being searched for.

Capability to turn on 360 degree cameras automatically at low speeds or after being in reverse or if turned on manually stay on until vehicle reaches higher speed or is shutoff. This would be useful for 3 part turns.
-I know this is being searched for also

Not sure why this was posted, but I corresponded with Dan via PM. I could never get the installs to work but its no big deal, I grew out of it pretty quickly.

Be advised, there's a reverse camera delay setting that keeps the rear view on screen for a few extra seconds after shifting out of reverse, exactly for this reason. That should be available somewhere in the menu while parked.

You recognized the ones that are already being investigated that I'm also keen on...

See pm about what to try for different frequencies. The rest of your wish list isn't able to be done currently.

I was wishing it would change from rear view camera to the front camera for those of us with 360 cameras.

Some of the tight roads in Europe are such a pleasure to get around on but most people get out of the way when they see my big truck coming down the road.

Lane change function with the blinker. Partially pushing the blinker stalk up/down (not enough to fully engage blinkers) gives 3 blinks for lane changes & such.
With a trailer hooked up, that increases to 5 blinks.

Sounds like he's wanting 5 blinks normally & 7 with trailer connected.

When using turn signals for lane changing, instead of pushing all the way up or down, push it half way and it will blink 3 times to change lanes. If you have a trailer connected it blinks longer.

Lol, I was having that senior moment right along with you and hoping a follow-up post would clarify that. Thanks for being the brave one!
