Interesting. What packages do you have and what does your build sheet say about PWU capabilities? Is there a line item that specifically outlines PWU? Approach lights?

I think, if you have passive unlock, you have PWU. I also think, A BCM update (if/when available) will fix all the PWU bugs

I believe this is the call out on the window sticker for PWU. Mine has never worked...

Ok, so that falls under Level 2. I have Level 1, so that explains everything.

I have Level 2 package on my truck.

I cannot turn my HUD off and have it stay off.

I’ve tried turning it off and then even holding down the Memory 1 and Memory 2 buttons to save my profile.

It doesn’t seem to matter what I do. When I start the truck, the HUD comes on.

Any thoughts on how to turn it off permanently?

No idea how to get it to stay off. But a hack might be to move it all the way up or all the way down, so it’s out of your field of vision. ? Just a thought.

Cover it with a dashmat.

Late returning to the party, but my PWU doesn't work with the truck locked or unlocked. @StuartsFriend . . . the Uconnect option looks like what was posted in post #2375.

One last question.

I am just GUESSING that the PWU works in such a way as to prevent activating it immediately when you lock the truck and walk away. I.e. if you lock it by pressing the button on the door and start to walk away, you are still close to the truck. But, in that case, you wouldn't want PWU to immediately turn on the greeting lights and extend the power running boards.

So, my guess is that after you lock it, it waits until it detects that the key fob has "left the building" (so to speak). THEN, after the key fob has gone away, it will reset itself internally such that PWU will activate when the key fob comes back.

On that theory, the question is: Have you tested PWU where you are confident that the key fob has gone "out of range" of the truck after you locked it?
