Number of people online in guide

yea most of what you do seems to be by holding the 'back' button and bringing up the menu

No. That helps. I've never held the back button. Is that the way to quickly change to passive mode? I remember reading that there is a shortcut vs going into settings.

There is a lot to setting up the online portion of this game. I feel like they should do a better job of telling you.

Thanks.

pause the game when in multiplayer, and scroll over to the friends tab. from their you should be able to invite him to you your game (city you are in). once there, you guys can roam around and do missions together. when starting a mission you must invite
the other player, there are a couple of options for this. if you have already been in a mission together you can re-invite all players from previous mession, or go to the invite friends option. basically take some time and look at all the options in the
pause menu, as well as the mission menu. every option has a description of what it doeas written in the info box underneath it, once you have it highlighted. NOW as for not getting in someone elses car, you have to haul up the interaction menu.....Hold
Back Button....... scroll down and you will have a "car access" option.. make sure it is set to either crew and friends or everyone. I know this sounds confusing but the best i could do.

Speaking of Passive Mode, I find that feature pretty useless and if anything paints a bigger target on my back.

I also have a harmony one remote and I've been having the same problem. I would like to use the number keypad to go directly to a channel instead of having to skip multiple channels. Is there anyway of updating my harmony one remote to get it to work
with the Xbox One guide and the Harmony One number keypad. Thanks for any help.
