I had to write a novel and post a video. No one ever said Duke was short on words and didn’t provide pics to back up his claims.

Of course, the video was too large for the 5G servers and had to be edited.

Thanks Ranger5g community - for the insights, pointing me in the right direction, helping me think outside the box, and of course for the laughs and jabs - this forum never disappoints!

@airline tech and @Figarou both mentioned something that was really narrowing it down for me. This led me to do more troubleshooting this morning - I wanted to do it last night after Figarou’s post but Mrs. DukeCanBuildit already thinks I’m nuts and the neighbours must think the same. What, with all the repetitive backing out of and driving into the garage and all the leaf bag testing in the driveway, etc.

The normal course of events for the screen is as follows…

1. Truck approaches an object
2. Forward Parking Aid screen is displayed
3. Brakes are applied - truck comes to a stop
4. The screen automatically closes after one or two seconds or if the gear selector is moved to “Park”

Figarou and airline tech both suggested it closed a screen. They were referencing the backup camera screen and the forward screen closes on its own so I wasn’t thinking of that functionality.

HOWEVER, what if there are times when the Forward Parking Aid screen does not automatically close? It would be nice to turn it off and that icon does look like it stands for “Close Screen”.

So, there I was…out in my garage again this morning…..back and forth, back and forth…..in and out of my driveway, until the screen did not automatically turn off. I didn’t have full missile lock but I had a solid tone for a second - the tone stopped but the screen was not closing. Pressing the OK button closed the screen.

Nothing fun, super helpful or informative like on the backup screen - just a way to close the screen for those times when it doesn’t close on its own and you’re not putting it in Park. I was hoping for so much more.

Now, to figure out what the conditions are that prevent the screen from closing automatically.

LOL, Duke grab another cup of coffee and take the rest of the day off!

We should get @Blue Streak to bring more candles.

Now, imagine wondering why you see squids launching when you press this button.

@DukeCanBuildit and @airline tech ... let me try again... 2019 Lariat FX4 with the Bose audio system (if that matters). No front camera, only on tailgate. (was a front camera an option??)

Photos in order taken:
Plan revise - nothing close:

In reverse and pressed the + in the top left corner of the previous photo:

Backed up and got closed to my wife's SUV:

Drove forward to get close to the car in front: Some beeping till I stopped and a few seconds the notice went away.

Drove forward to get even closer to the car in front: More intense beeping till I stopped and a few seconds the notice went away. No real change in display message however (like the orange turning to red and such).

So the 4" display does have significantly different messages.

I'm not sure how or who you know for you to get a Bose stereo

I was only able to get a lousy B & O (not the railroad ) stereo 🫢

I think I got the short end of the draw

Your right... brain fart on my part... thinking B&O (Bang & Olufsen... always wanted one of their setups, now I do in the Ranger... LOL) was Bose (as my headphones and stereo are Bose)...

Is there to be a "go fund me" also? That trash in my garage is costing me $80 a freaking day.

Sorry, Chris, that's above my pay-grade. You have to be a moderator or administrator to set up anything financial on this forum. Maybe @AzScorpion or @RedlandRanger can answer this question for you?

Dave’s busy packing, or at least he should be. We’re having an Open House next weekend and the staging company is coming in on Thursday to set up furniture and we need Dave’s stuff outta there.

Well, everything except his Tremor.

Larry has set up about 50 of these around the neighbourhood…
