    Not enough...
    Yeah, this is just an HD radio feature. The problem is that if you don't have perfect reception, it will not even find the HD content. Also, most of the stations here that had HD content, play something completely different from regular content.

    You got me curious, so I checked the wife's car - no rewind function when playing HD radio.

    I tried 'regular' broadcast radio, and the Entune still has the replay function. I'm pretty sure I read this in the manual.

    Well, mine's a Utility 5-speed, l4. It seems odd to my aged brain how they dispensed some options, but good for me as I apparently got lucky. :)

    this feature has been wonderful for our local FM station (not an HD station) news...if I missed something, I can rewind to hear it again!

    Didn't see this on the list and just found it out. There are holes on the backside of the bottom of the rear seats so when you fold them down flat and have to take your headrests out you can store your headrests there.

    On our "i" screen (info) in the center of the dashPod:
    Is there any way to get
    MPH
    INSTANT FUEL ECONOMY

    displayed at the same time, where the 2nd value shows something other than a blue line that goes from 0-30 but nothing more?

    ...I have this but the instant fuel economy only shows a scrolling bar. My Nissan has the scrolling bar but then an arrow that points to a spot on the bar and states the MPG at some intervals. Having the blue line didn't seem to do much for me so I changed the display to show:

    MPH
    AVE FUEL ECONOMY

    and that works but still had me wondering.

    Pro tip: if you have a iPhone 6s get a 2.1 amp charger. It charges twice as fast and it won't hurt the phone. It's set up for 2.1 amp but apple does not tell you this and ships with a 1 amp charger. You can also use a 2.1 wall charger like the iPad charger for fast charging at home.

    Pro-er tip: get as high amperage of a charger as you want, the phone will only take as much current as it wants.

    True but Apple ships phones with 1 amp and the phone takes more than that is the point bruh.

    That I know of you can only customize the screens with what is already shown and move things around. I have the MPH and average fuel economy. You might try looking around in the settings to see if you can move that bar to the main screen though. It may be possible, I don't have my truck right now since its in the shop so I can't help.

    My fav is the dude who will blink 1/2 second before changing lanes in front of you with a 1 car length gap.

    10k maintenance, tranny fluid check, TSB, door sill protector replacement, and the squeak from both sides in the back. Nothing huge but its starting to pile up.

    I found it annoying too. So I changed my routine. Engine off, unbuckle, and get out, instead of unbuckle, shut down, get out. Easiest fix I could think of. ;)

    I believe that they consider this an "opportune time". Normally when your tires are rotated, proper inflation is also verified. I think that pressing the reset switch "zeroes out" the differences in the sensors in each tire. Sort of a calibration feature.
