No, once you gain entry through the keypadf, you try to start and the screen pops up with a screen asking for 4 digit code you have created. Punch it in and you are off and running.

4 digit code? I had to set up a pretty complex password as I recall. I don't even remember it!

It has been a while for me too. Just have to go back to the manual (ugh) to find how to do it again

- Active Park Assist - Never heard of it
- Wireless Charger - Nope, it's junk.
- Sirius XM - Canceled it as soon as the free trial was up
- Bluecruise - Use it on trips. I like it when it isn't yapping at me to keep my eyes on the road.
- Lane Keep Assist - Only use it when using BC
- Bed Scale - Was removed from my truck. Wish I had it TBH.
- Trailer Guidance - Have yet to tow with this truck.
- Built-in Route Planner -Nope
- Infotainment - Maybe once
- PAAK - I like it. It's useful
- Numeric Keypad on Door - Useless
- Zone Lighting - I like it a lot
- Record Feedback - Never used it

I wish the truck had a HUD. My wife's VW Atlas has it, and it's a nice feature. It would certainly clear up my issue with BlueCruise.

HUD would be nice, but the numeric keypad is the best feature. I still use it on my mom's 2000 taurus and my 1996 Explorer and yes, with my current lightning. So many times I forget something in my car and go out quickly with no key, no phone and that thing is there to rescue me!
