Yeah, saw that and a bunch more. Here's the only thing I didn't know before buying; the center console with 4 cup holders and A/C, after you lift out the two sections with 2 holders each, there is another flat panel to lift out and there is a canyon of a pocket in there with two molds that can hold the gigantic liter size cups.

Yeah, power points are awesome. The inverter charges my Makita Li-ion batts too. Did not know about the hidden cup holders, very cool. How about the weather radar on the Nav screen? Crazy cool...

This is hilarious. Just like my first 3 hours in the truck. Every other word was, "Cool!" or "Sweet!", or "Awesome!".

How do you pull up the weather radar on the screen?

Hit the "i" button. Then your menu will have first: "Where am I" and this is what comes up automatically. On the left of the screen you will see a button called "sirius travel link". When you press that on the touch screen down and to the right you will see a button called "weather"
I assume you have the Nav screen and that Sirius is activated in your truck.

I tried this and got a interrupt that says I don't have an active sirius account....untrue. I called sirius and they assured me that I do have a functioning account (I'm listening to the radio), and that it has to be enabled by the dealer.
Called the dealer I usually go to and he blamed another dealer who did a PCM flash and said that to fix it would not be covered by warranty. I called the other dealer and they had never heard of Travel Links or weather maps.
I am waiting to hear from them both as they look into it.
Not very encouraging to say the least

Sirius travel link is an additional service plan.
You have music, news.
Then you can add travel link
Another add on is traffic.
So, there are three subscription levels, the last two require the nav unit. I think the weather option is $5/month US. Worth every penny for the way I use my truck.

My truck is a US truck and has the function in the Nav unit, but nothing falls from the sky. They said maybe by October this year.
Thanks for the reply though.

I did find that one and since it is always hot use it for my solar charger. Mounted to rear glass with Velcro behind drivers side passenger head rest. Sure helps with the vampire drain when I leave the truck parked for long offshore jobs.
