I realized today i can listen to my radio with no key. And with no key and door open is no annoying chime!
Just push the volume button and radio turns on.

Accessory on for radio?

Shouldn't need to leave your accessory on for the radio unless they changed it up. In my 13 I just push the power button with key out or whatever and my radio plays door open closed whichever while I'm cleaning or whatever.

roll up

A lot of people don't seem to know that you can roll the windows down from the key fob, though I guess I don't know what key fob the platinum has, if you hit the unlock button twice and hold it the second time for five seconds, the front windows roll down.
is there any way to roll the windows back up with the fob????

Yes, it can be enabled with FORScan.
See https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...readsheet.html
There are links to a spreadsheet that lists the options that can be changed and to instructions on how to obtain and use FORScan in the first few posts of the thread.

My extended cab seat folds down like this, have Several things behind the passenger side: jumper cables, extra blanket and rain coat. Drivers side has tha factory amp and sub so I don’t fold it down much and don’t store anything there.

Not that big of a deal, but my tint guy just showed me a key fob hiding place underneath the console tray next to the cup holders. Pull up the 2 little rubber trays and there's a cutout for your key fob. Then lock using the door switch, and keypad to get back in

My 2017 f250 with truck off once you open the door you can not power fold the mirrors in unless you push the start button again.

on my new 2018 you can power fold the mirrors at any time. So ford fixed that annoying issue

ymsmiley - that's actually meant for a fob with a dead battery - you can still start the truck with the fob in that spot. It's also used for programming additional fobs...
