    I actually spoke to him days ago about an issue related to load planning and a person that pushed my patience to it's final string! :mad:

    1. Hold the little button with the phone on it until it says "BT Disabled".
    2. Press the volume button. Should switch it to "Enabled".
    3. Do whatever mojo you gotta do to your phone to get it ready for a connection.
    4. Hold the little button with the phone on it again until it says "Add phone".
    5. Do whatever mojo you gotta do to your phone to get it to talk to the radio. Radio is something like "DX 500".

    Et voila.

    Don’t forget the adaptive cruise control. That’s loads of fun when you have to deal with the idiots that vary their speed all over the map.

    Putting your foot on the pedal overrides the "adaptive" bits of the "adaptive cruise control", at least in my truck. If I see that I'm in a situation that is about to make the cruise control have an attack of the vapors even though everything looks fine to my human eyes, I just press the accelerator and the truck doesn't do anything other than beep ineffectually at me.
     
    Lonesome and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    It does in mine too, but it’s just an affront that we even have to do that.

    Ya, ironically, I tend to be driving with cruise on and foot to the floor... offsets the auto slow down or outright turning the cruise off... and still get those last two mph too.

    But other times, I just leave it on cruise, let it hook into the truck in front of me, and let it tow me through town or down the highway.

    Variety is nice... lol
