This should REALLY be a Sticky.

Seems like nearly everyone has this issue.

Maybe even front page!

My Bespoke system had it set to FR-S from the factory (that or the dealer did it).

thanks FOR THIS excellent tip.

Consider it stuck.

Guess I found something my dealer did right. The stock unit in mine was set to FR-S.

ToxicSneakers · 06-20-2012, 09:12 PM

My FR-S was delivered without the Panasonic head and when I returned to get it installed: The tech said there was no model preset; that each Scion model has a radio developed uniquely for that single application. I commented that he just missed a meeting, that's all, and went through the setup. He gave me a stupid, dirty look and went away mad (anyway). It's a small (but sad) thing to ruin someone's day, but I'm thinking he was just "covering" something embarrassing for him. My sales agent lhfao afterward.

Mine was on tc also

This is a repost from another thread, but my experiences have been different.

I set it on the FR-S the first day I got the car, and was disappointed in the audio. 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.

motofan · 06-22-2012, 03:53 AM

hands up. in tC mode too

FRSGT86 · 06-22-2012, 07:16 PM
