Works on my 2017 XLT with key start! Excellent find! Thanks! Edit:Looks like I spoke too soon, works for 1 or 2 starts after & then defaults back to engine brake off at start.

This may have been mentioned before.

If you're on a cell phone call connected with bluetooth and you get to your destination, and turn off the engine, the accessory mode will stay on as long as you're on the call.

That means you don't have to worry about a bluetooth handoff during your call. As soon as you hangup, the accessory mode will turn off.

You are exactly right, works great, love this feature.

Savings compartment.

[QUOTE=RJC2;17347585]Don't feel bad. She's probably got a bunch of purses and shoes that you think she paid $10 for.

Mine found $900 I had in a paperback book once years ago....she squeaked with delight, and then 'wasted' it on a new washer/dryer

If you tow a travel trailer and your tailgate hits your tongue jack when you lower it, this might help - disconnect the right side tailgate cable and loop it around the tailgate latch......... Edit - reattach cable to close tailgate - LOL
