What mode are you running on your stock stereo TC, XB, XA, Frs

Just can't get any good sound out of the car. I think the TC mode does sound more full. What are you guys running?

With the stereo off hold down the dial. Select car type.

When I picked mine up from the dealer, it was on tC settings. I couldn't really tell the difference when I switched it over to the FRS because I kept the volume really low for the first few miles just to hear the engine. Lol. But after driving the car for a bit longer, I'd like a little more bass out of the back of the car.

There are also 2 other settings that make a huge difference.

I can't remember exactly, but they are in the audio settings. I want to say they are 3 letter acronyms, like ASL & SPL. One of them has a 'low-mid-high' setting, can't remember the other.

Playing around with those 2 settings made my audio sound a lot better.

I just switched to TC mode and it sounds so much more full.

Asl is auto sound levelling and the other one deals with audio compression.

So you like it better in TC mode? I personally switched it to FR-S right when I got the car, never heard what it was like in TC mode.

Try it. Sounds more full. But I was using aux in which is different that having the processing done by the deck.
