SYNC 3 quite screen
Anybody know if there is a way to add a shortcut or easter egg touch point to get the quiet screen to appear. I see the 21s have a dedicated button for it and honestly I find none of the screens tolerable for long drives. Be nice to note have to go though 3-5 clicks and swipes constant tp get back to the quiet screen...

Who? The manual says nothing about any secret short cut that can be enabled.

The ultimate Quiet Screen is just to turn the display off in the Settings menu.
This is what I do when I'm driving at night.

Regardless if it’s one tap on the screen or a few taps and a swipe or two, this specific task will only take a few seconds out of my day or night.

For me, a dedicated display on/off button or screen tab would make it far easier to kill the screen between phone use, audio source/station chages, nav changes, climate changes....you get it, that can be numerous times throughout an evening. Enough to where 3 to 5 swipes/clicks each time is a hassle. So what happens, I just live with the screen being on.
That is why this thread sparked my interest.

I see, you're a one and done user of the screen. I cant come up with one reason why multiple steps to accomplish one task would be better than one step.

My preference is exactly the opposite. I would never use that screen pushbutton and I prefer having soft keys for those functions.
The soft keys keep the dash MUCH less cluttered. They permit software updates to change the functions. But, most especially, my preference is to have the display as large as possible. Every pushbutton limits the possible size of the display.
The only hard control I really use is the volume ****.

Unfortunately it's looking like something thats not possible to enable on these trucks.
