    It's probably in here too, but if you shift into S mode while on cruise control, it kicks it out, but tap "Resume" and it will cruise again.

    more of a general tip, but Android users can download an app called Google Opinion Rewards wherein you answer short, 10 second surveys and get Google Play credit. i was able to get that Carista app for free that way. i think you can accumulate ~50$ a year. useful when you don't buy apps all that often but every now and then there's something you HAVE to have.

    I started Google Opinion Rewards about 2.5 years ago, and so far they have given me 90 bucks in google play credit. Not bad!

    I turn off the back up alarm if the tailgate is down while carrying a long load. Otherwise it goes off each time I'm in reverse regardless if there is a hazard. All it "sees" is the ground!

    How do you change the direction of the navigation screen? Everytime I use it I'm looking at the navi going backwards not the same direction I'm driving

    Do you need to know, or care?
    I must admit I skimmed through the manual, but I just learn by trial and error...and of course asking here. Haven't touched the manual on the radio/nav yet, don't have the patience, but my Gen 2 Nav is very similar to the Gen 3, so keep checking options until I figure it out on my own.

    Or I'll just ask you Cuffs, you seem to have the answers for us illiterates. :D
