MyKey, did I do something wrong?

So I'm messing around with the settings from the steering wheel and I am trying to get to a screen that shows the speed limitations (I don't need any speed limitations), and the only way to get there (I may be incorrect) is to navigate to the MyKey settings. What I had was 2 Admin keys, and they were grayed out and I couldn't access them. The other option was to create a MyKey, so I did (truck was running). Then all of a sudden options appeared: I went and looked at the speed limitations and it was checked to 80mph, so I unchecked that, I also unchecked the radio volume feature (I don't want to be limited to a certain volume), and I selected AdvanceTrac. I am the only one who drives this vehicle, I don't let anybody else drive it so I don't need to limit speed or radio volume. I will take it up on the highway shortly to see if I can get above 80mph and if that setting got changed correctly.

So now when I go to the MyKey section off the steering wheel controls, it shows as I have 1 MyKey and 1 admin key. Did I mess something up? If I delete that MyKey, will it disable that key from turning on the truck? Will it default back to 2 Admin keys? Kinda odd how you can't engage or disengage AdvanceTrac (or is that the same button for traction control right above the Nav system upper left?). I've thumbed thru the owners manual, and it's not totally clear.


Thanks,
eddieo1964


** Started the truck with the 1 Admin key, went to the MyKey feature and erased MyKey. Restarted truck with the newly cancelled MyKey and it shows 2 Admins. I'm back to where I was before messing around. Done for the night!

I had similar issues. I MAY have inadvertently created a MyKey when I was "learning" about my new truck..or the dealer did.
My screen showed 1 admin and 1 MyKey and was showing me the mileage driven by that MyKey. The one I use every day. Call it key A. The spare, call key B.
My problem was that I wanted to listen to a comedy channel on Sirius and it said it was MyKey restricted.. Using key A.
Using key A, and going to the MyKey screen in the dash, there was no option to make changes.
I got key B. It was now the admin key, I think. I was able to get to the MyKey screen on the dash AND I had options to make changes.
I deleted/removed/erased all MyKeys.
Now key A and key B are both admin keys, and I have no restrictions and no MyKey.
Give that a shot.

Hi Ltripreno,
I did exactly what you did last evening to cancel the MyKey and I'm back to the 2 Admin keys! Thanks for your reply.
