    i've searched this topic and other forums with no luck. is there any way to have cruise control come on automatically on vehicle start, so you don't have to press the button every time to turn it on?

    Is it really that hard to press the button on the end of the cruise control stalk?

    other recent vehicles i've owned could be configured this way. it's a preference. reading through this forum, many mods people post here appear to be preferences.

    Push to start is not a new idea or accessory, I had a push to start on my 1950 Chevy. They took the started pedal from the floor to the dash in 1949. Also do your remember when the high beam switch was on the floor next to the clutch?

    Their web site just says it does diagnostics only... for the Taco. Am I looking at the right thing?

    How can I tell what time it is?? ok so in info section screen I can see the compass (mirror and info section) if you darken the nav screen as I do to not have that giant display illuminate the cab- no clock?? what did I miss (yes- I could be missing something)

    Accurate, but -- it's now darkened as I'm driving at night-- and a quick glance? (not picking on it - but I have two locations to show N-S-E-W at a glance)

    That is the only location of the clock, if you don't like the darkened look turn it off manually in the settings.

    For the OCD of the group, I highly recommend the Salex OCD console organizers and tray available through Amazon. I just received mine today, and they do wonders for console organization.
