how to change radio setting
 

Hi,
I received my FR-S without an audio guide (it's on order) and have read on these forums about changing the stereo from TC setting to FRS for better sound. How do I do that?
Thanks.

With the car turned on, but the stereo turned off, press straight in on the knob for the settings menu.

+1 Just went out and changed the setting. MUCH better. Thx.

I am full of useful information. Also? Organ meats. Useful information and lot and lots of organ meats. :D

Incidentally, I think it's in that same settings menu that you can change the "Scion" message that displays when you start the car up, to a custom message of your own choosing (up to 12 characters).

Thanks, that worked great!
:D:D

Organ meats?:eyebulge:

i did this and my radio doesnt even have FR-S as a setting =/ wth !? Help !

I'm in the exact same boat. I just picked up my FR-S on Saturday and that evening, I tried to change the radio settings. The FR-S was not listed. Turns out I was given a radio model that ends in "120". The one that's supposed to be installed on the FR-S is the "130". These models correlate with model year.

Do you still have a radio manual? Does the part number end with "120"? If so, this may be a bigger issue that Scion is not telling their dealerships that there is a difference between the two models.

I don't really know what I'm missing out on with no FR-S setting. Is the sound equalizer that different?

the audio in the car is awesome and i have no problems with it. i dont think it would be that much of a difference. Dont fix something thats not broken as they say. lol

Anyone else know what the difference is between the two settings?

what if the FR-S setting isnt listed on my radio ?

Then it sounds like they installed the wrong radio in your car. I'd contact your dealer, and ask what's up.

Same problem here. I finally got fed up with the poor sound coming from the speakers found this thread and went to change it from Tc only to find that I have no FR-S setting. Anyone have any luck with the dealership switching out the head unit with the correct version? Or am I doomed to mediocrity??

it seems so nitpicky but seems I'm in the same boat with no fr-s setting :(

would a dealer exchange for the "correct" unit?
