Hidden features?

what about tapping your turn signal up or down just before it clicks and your signal will blink 3 times and stop. I like it for lane changes or merging.

DMClone has been watching too many Bond films.

Fog lights aren't automatic like in most trucks. You need to push your light button for on and off fogs. I didn't even know that my bench seat was also a storage until about 6 months of driving it. I kind of hope to find a couple more hidden gems so i'm subscribed to this thread.

These are not really hidden but in evic you can change a lot of cool things a couple really nice ones are tilt mirrors in reverse and hill start assist. I love that the factory remote start chooses the correct climate control settings no matter what you had set when you jumped out including the seat Warmers and steering wheel heat.

I found the other day if you unlock your truck with the factory fob then press and hold the unlock button it will roll you front windows down

Should my 2009 do that?

wow. That's awesome!!!

I've got close to 7,000 miles on my truck now and I'm still finding stuff that they don't have written in the manual. This thread helped me find several things, awesome info.

Would be nice if it was 5 or 6 flashes, not three. The three you get come way too fast for a safe lane change.

And what does the center button on the drivers side of the steering wheel do ? (between the up & down buttons on the back side) ?

I had my truck for about a year before my wife figured this one out. The visors extend out. I always complained that they were not long enough when using them to block the sun on the side windows. We were driving one day and found that they extend.

That button moves you through your station presets for radio or sirius.

I can't find the mirrors in reverse feature so I assume I don't have it?

I think that's laramies only. Wish my sport had that option!

Guess that doesn't include aftermarket remote start?

Got the windows to work with the un-lock feature. AWESOME!!!

I just found out the sun visors slide over (extend) in the side window position. Only took three months before I had the need to shade that little gap of sun in my eyes and ...tada... there she was. Nice when things like that happen.

my 13 laramie wont do the windows with the fob unless I am doing it wrong? I didnt realize the middle button on back side of steering wheel went through the presets..nice!

There should be a button in the middle of the other side of the steering wheel too. This switches you from FM to AM to AUX to IPOD to CD...or whatever you have plugged in at the time.

dmclone · Jul 29, 2013

I wish they would have put the volume on the left side of the steering wheel. I'm sure I'll get use to it but every car I've driven has had the volume on the left side.

09 was the last year for that....too many people were rolling down their windows unintentionally (think butt dialing) with the keys in their pockets and coming out to leave and finding them down, sometimes in the rain.

Damn mine must be broken. I have all my presets on XM and all the other bands set but that button doesn't do anything in my truck. Tried it earlier today after re-reading this thread.

Has anyone found anything in the '13 Express? The only thing I've found is I can control my iPod from the knobs when it's hooked up to the USB. Are there any secret compartments other than under the back seat, or electronic secrets?
