Switching stereo from TC to "FR-S" mode - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

frsinpa · 06-13-2012, 10:17 AM

Hey guys,

I've been searching for 20 minutes and I can't seem to find the tutorial on how to do this. Any advice?

I just want to make sure my head unit is in the proper mode - I know that some FR-S's have received head units that were stuck in Scion TC mode, which made things sound worse.

Thanks in advance

Turn the head unit off, then push and hold the multi-function knob until the menu pops up.

Page 52 of the separate audio user guide. Pretty easy switch. Sounds much better

for some reason on mine, the FRS settings are not as good as the TC settings.

i find the FRS setting weak and quite

Ha, I guess that's why I couldn't find any info on the head unit. I guess I'm missing the audio guide. Time to go talk to the dealer.

Same for me. I set it on the FR-S the first day I got the car, and was disappointed in the audio. I read your post and I tried the tC setting today, and it sounds so much better... What does this setting actually do anyway? I have a BeSpoke head unit by the way.
