    I've got to say, i turned off the fake engine noise and it makes a world of difference two fold:

    1, It pumped massive "White Noise" into the cab. Without that it really improves the audio quality (ya, i already did the upgrade but either way it's a massive impact to audio quality)
    2, The truck is now luxury car quiet.

    S
    so with fake engine noise turned off it makes the audio not sound as good, like static?

    Other way around, turning off the fake engine noise got rid of all the white noise you don't realize is there.

    Truck is so much more quiet now when you drive and if you have the radio/audio on the sound quality is noticeably better

    Just a quick update:
    Sapper_Out has had the changes he wanted made and i believe everything is fine with him.

    All of my changes have seemed to work also without any issues;
    Double Honk is gone
    Engine noise gone
    Auto Start stop gone
    Auto Fold Mirrors is now on
    Secure Idle is now on
    Driver Seat belt reminder off

    Will dig into other staff at this weekends road trip.

    The auto start stop being deactivated is so choice

    Take the spreadsheet and add an extra line below each line you plan to make changes to. In this extra line note what the code was before you make the change so that you have the original code if you need to go back and reset it.
