Cool, thanks.

I have the coin holder. But I'd rather put an additional 12v plug in there if possible. Or move the cigarette lighter there (which I don't use).

that would be a great place for an OEM looking switch to control some reverse trailer lighting or some stuff like that.

That, or an ejector button...

I'm still laughing about the magnet to hold the coins line...

I believe there was a dime released during WWII that was metallic enough to be picked up by a magnet. Maybe it was designed for this type of dime.

the coin holder is heated so the coins don't freeze to your hands when your trying to pay a toll!

It's for the ESOF (if equipped) It's much cheaper/better for quality/better for logistics to only have a single wire harness then to have different harnesses for every option. It plugs in to keep the loose end from rattles.

I want to replace my coin holder with a 2nd cig lighter door and place a button behind it for my running lights.

Its the switch on the left.
What's the button next to the cig lighter in the center? Mine didn't have anything plugged into the back of the useless coin holder.

I think that is the reverse sensing system indicator/switch. I don't have it on my Screw, as it is the only option I opted not to get. Now I want it, cause backing up in a parking space is a bit trickey. Can I still get it? Or buy the parts and just plug them in?

the button is for the back up sensor.

I do not have that option as well. my current method is to back up slowly until the truck stops.

To buy off the dealer inventory and wanting a black on black lariat (no two tone), I had to pass on sliding rear and back up sensor, but I got heated seats - which crucial in Houston.

reverse sensing system

You probably could buy all the parts needed to install the reverse sensing system yourself. The only problem I can see is the sensors are in the back bumper, four of them. You might be able to drill holes in the bumper yourself or you might have to replace the bumper. Talk to your Ford dealer and ask them how they go about upgrading trucks with the reverse sensing system option.

I have the reverse sensing system on my truck and it’s great. After you use it for awhile you wonder how you ever did without it.

Has any one added another power plug?

Anyone add another power plug in place of the coin holder? Or anything else more useful than the coin holder?
