    My radio controls don't work but I suppose my radio did not have that option.
    Yes bad placement of the almost air horn button.

    I personally like having the cruise controls, headlamp/marker interrupt and maybe the Jake on the wheel. Everything else can go elsewhere. Especially the air horn.

    They need to improve the lettering so it doesn't rub off after 6 months.

    I generally like the layout, but I agree the horn should be in a different location. What was wrong with the traditional horn loop? Also, I'm skeptical about proper long term function. My brand new Prostar has less than 3000 miles on it, and the cruise control quit working. My truck is governed at 63, 66 on cruise. I really miss those 3 mph.

    " put in a proper air horn." I'll second this statement! Air horn sounds like someone is stepping on a dogs n*ts! I'm putting a set of train horns on in place of dog n*ts! Air horn button needs to be much bigger/easier to find.

    Had this problem with several of mine; it is a known software problem. The dealer downloaded new software.

    I'll talk to the tech about doing that. All I can see is $$$$ going out the window right now. Dealer has had the truck since last Friday, losing money from sitting, and am under a load that was supposed to be delivered today. :biggrin_25513: Thanks for the input, and hope he knows what I'm talking about.
