Vehicles filmed at Dealerships are For Sale. Make sure to visit the dealerships website for detail info about each vehicle. If your watching a video thats older than 90 days you can expect that vehicle to most likely already being sold, unless its a new car.
FYI - Charleston Car Videos on KZbin Started in 2011. Back in 2008 is when I started filming cars as a car salesman to give people a better way to see a new or used vehicle. Over the years I ended up selling over 450 vehicles from doing videos. Today 1000's of vehicles have sold from people watching my car reviews in America.

9 minutes I can never get back thanks. Thanks a lot. Must rethink life

[@joshuabuhler2732]

Is it really that bad

[@TCS86]

🤣

[@gunnercuppetilli7865]

Fuck yeah, FORD dealer showed me this spot to reset ur keyfob if needed. Waste of time. This guy jumped out this king ranch & jumped in his Nissan

[@rickyruju]

i aways thought the key slot is so you can start the truck if the battery are dead in the fob

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

your right.

[@thisismecantuseeitsacz5823]

Rick Allen you are 100% correct

[@leelovellette8133]

Just picked up the 18 Lariat 4x4, it’s pretty great. Was skeptical about the 2.7 but from Ocala FL to Springfield IL it ran like a dream. Being a field tech I hate myself for not finding out about cooled and heated seats sooner. So nice.....

[@danielbrown6078]

That key spot is for your key fob if the battery runs out. If you place the key fob in there the truck will notice it in there with no battery to start the car

[@bigguy1403]

That spot is for when your key fob when your battery is almost dead you place your fob in there and it starts the truck. Don't people read their manuals anymore.

[@jacobwylie296]

For getting the cup holders out easier, twist them u too the tabs line up with the center channel that connects the two cup holders and you can simp!e grab the tabs! Also for the key spot, mine is under the forward center console under the rubber mat , push forward the compartment door and lift out the rubber mat and there is a key spot! At least on my 2018 3.5 ecoboost F150

[@yvelf]

that "hidding place" is where you put the key fob to turn the vehicle on when the key fob battery is dead. the truck will recognize the key fob (while the battery is dead) and will turn on.

[@jjamaya01]

That little slot is used when programming a new key at the dealership. There’s a similar slot/location in all fords for when we’re programming a new key

[@woodbridge911]

That compartment is not for hiding ur key .. its to program ur spare as a valet key .. my 18 xlt has the same thing but mine isn't push start .. my fob has a key for the ignition

[@shroom903]

My 17 is in the same spot. Basically it is close to the module that receives the signal from your fob. Your fob has an NFC transmitter like your cellphone that has easy pay (Near field communication) which also allows your to start your truck with a dead battery in your fob. It just has to be close for nfc to work

[@370H55V]

That spot is also used to find original code for keyless entry if you have the 5 button keypad on the door. You need both key fobs for that.

[@jeffherndon]

BTW I wish there was a holster built in my truck too.

[@lcand3zs]

You can also use that spot to start you truck if the battery is completely dead!

[@geraldkeller2937]

Glad to hear the positive talk on the Constitution!!!!

[@patrickguffey1967]

Hey Chad It's Patrick Guffey again, giving you an​ update so far I'm enjoying my 2018 450 Platinum edition Super duty that my wife had ordered for me. I'm letting you know that I have made my own hiding spot, when my wife special ordered my truck she had the Ford's lock box under the center console, but anyway what I did I made I had made a dummy floor out of a thin piece of aluminum, I measured the inner dementions and then what I scuffed both sides of the piece of aluminum, sprayed one side flat black, and when the paint dried really good I lightly scuffed the top side and then I glued on some left over speaker box material on the top side. before I started doing anything I had put a small groove in the aluminum so that way if I needed to remove it for any reason it would be easy too take out. but what I did on my other truck key fob I put a piece of industrial strength two sided tape and I taped my other truck key fob to the bottom of the aluminum, and the best part is that if you open the lock box it looks like nothing is there. On a different subject can you please help me with a annoying issue? can you please talk to the service department to see if I can someway disable the horns from beeping and also can you please ask the service department if I can possibly change the driver's side keypad to a different code? again I like the videos you're doing keep them coming VERY GOOD JOB Patrick.👍👍👍👍

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

Hey Patrick, thanks for sharing this with me and many others. I'm glad to hear your enjoying the F450 Platinum and thank you for visiting my channel here on KZbin. I'll talk with the service department next time I'm there and bring up these questions you ask. I don't know the answer to them currently, but will try and find out. I'm sure other Ford Truck owner could be having the same issues that your talking about and I'd like to find the answers to share with others as well. Have a great night and thanks for your support. Chad

[@harviesandhu3035]

in my 2017 150 Platinum i can change the keypad code from the setting in the middle screen yours should be the same

[@Domcel]

You can disable the double horn beep by using Forscan. The door side can be changed by using you menus on screen

[@gregorycoogle7621]

Yes, there is another hiding spot! They sell an adapter and you can use the back seat, driver side to pull the seat forward for additional storage ! 😮 You’re very welcome … Greg Coogle

[@14torre1]

It is also there for if you have the push button start and the battery in the key fob dies you can still start the truck.

[@Pilot545]

So weird I ran across this vid. I was watching a vid on the F-150 production line and wondered when/how they pair up keys to the trucks (as I was watching them being tested during/after production I wondered when the key was introduced on the assembly line). Your “hiding spot” vid answered it (mostly) haha. Thanks!

[@webuilt_different3568]

The center arm rest has a key hiding spot in there too

[@JM-tn8xx]

This spot can also be used if your key freezes. I've come back from lengthy snowshoeing a few times to find the key is too cold and the truck cannot recognize it. So you unlock it with the physical key, put it in that "hiding spot" and the truck will now recognize that the key is in the vehicle and you can drive off.

[@jeffherndon]

I have a 2017 Lariat and the key slot is vertical in the front cup holder like this 2018.

[@tyarmand2015]

You can also put sync 3 in test mode by holding fast forward and eject for 7 seconds.

[@bwanadave76]

For what purpose?

[@CHEECHMUN]

Yes, all the Amendments depend on the 2nd!!

[@jimyetter1398]

I hide my key in a place called my pants pocket. It has never failed me.

[@lekundolcoxsr8771]

It is

[@WillBuryU]

It is a gun slot under the back seat.

[@bigguy1403]

Why would anyone hide there key inside there truck! Hello it'll let anyone get in and start and steal your truck. Never leave your key fob in the truck NEVER..

[@KeystonePrepper87]

Dont bother watching this click bait video he doesnt show anything

[@freedomisnotfree5335]

Cars and guns. Got to love America! Subbed!

[@charlesspidell1447]

What about limited

[@michelleoli4412]

I love your commentary 😆

[@theowysinger856]

That’s actually where you put it if your key battery dies

[@charlesjones4847]

It’s to crank your truck when the key fob is dead.

[@jamesmckenzie3433]

There Should be a Door pocket holster for hand gun only that is concealed till active by driver only 😎

[@TheMassdaddy]

It’s in the instruction manual.

[@boozer74]

Oh chad. Your personality always brings me back. 🤣🤣🤣

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

thank you thank you!

[@Anoncore1]

The exact reason why the removal of the dislike feature was the worse idea on YT ......come on man for real ?

[@12345fu]

I'm going to lie you got me with the title but now my ass hurts

[@tyarmand2015]

Why don’t you show something useful like how you adjust your fuel mileage to read more accurate by using hec test mode. Or how you can pull down the backrest on the backseat behind the drivers seat with the hidden strap? You know things that aren’t in the owners manual.

[@kenton6098]

For the key thing you're looking in the wrong compartment.

[@noco2095]

Another great video love you ford truck videos

[@mackeerererallll6]

This is to program a new key fob lol

[@teop7887]

Skip the b s to 4:03 ...

[@dre963]

This spot is in the manual lol

[@rdsii64]

If a car jacker rolled up on my truck, he is going to see what 400 foot pounds of torque feels like.

[@gerardorodruiguez5928]

My f150 has this metal black case thing in the back. Maybe someone can tell me its actual purpose. It looked like you can put a baseball bat in there but it wouldn't fit through the metal side though if you look at the top then you will see that there is a cut out too slip in the length of the bat in. So yeah that's my discovery.

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

Hey Gerardo, I'll have to look into this more. What year is your F150?

[@gerardorodruiguez5928]

CharlestonCarVideos Its 2017 XLT with sports Appear, Fx4

[@franklainfiesta7430]

This spot is to start your truck wen the remote battery is dead..

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

Thanks Frank

[@tonyiacovone9909]

Every time this guy talks it’s like a cliff hanger

[@briancarrier4439]

2:25

[@RPRiley]

*"might not HAVE shown you"

[@Ww-dl7vr]

Viewers this a 9 minute video that you can skip.

[@richardrybarczyk5522]

There are a number of manufacturers who make holsters and other products to keep your gun secure and at hand if you need it quickly while you're driving.

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

good to know. thanks Richard.

[@dkitsap1]

Seriously!?!? Where would you need “quick access to a hand gun” while you’re driving!?!? Get a grip!!!

[@jakethesnake9528]

About as annoying as a used car salesman.

[@JeffBattleFish]

Geez READ the DAMN MANUAL. You all can read right?

[@patrickpitcock870]

Way to drag out a video that could have been 30 seconds.

[@77teahupoo]

Lame

[@n1ti]

that was a waste of time

[@jackhammer9775]

How much is Yeti paying you?

[@chriss3594]

2nd amendment is jaded.

[@chriscabrera6348]

I put my gun in the arm rest

[@cosanostra421]

Son it’s time for you to learn how to stick your hand in the hole we can see that you have hard time let us know

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

LOL well thanks Carmelo. I'll be sure to stick my hand in this so called hole you mention ha ha.

[@screaming1967]

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

What is a hick? Are you a dick?

[@chocodino4ever]

This is just bull****

[@499jtj]

Waste of time

[@jeffhagstrom4140]
