It comes on the IPOD display version only. The rest of the cars come with just that amber color and a single CD player. The earlier radios had CD changers but I suspect they had too many warrantee claims on those. Pioneer has never made a reliable CD changer, IMO..

the 05 tc's didn't have color change standard, you had to get the 6-disc indash radio to get the color changing radio display.

actually, in the time it takes to post on here and wait for someone to give you a decent response, you could have already checked the index of the manual and found your answer. duuuh.

no offense but it does get kinda annoying when people are too lazy to just look it up and read when not only have the answer, but even KNOW that they have the answer. oh well, while we are on the subject, what is your favorite color anyway?

"what does the maitenance required light mean?"

when i started my tc and that light came on, i just reached over and pulled up my owner's manual, and looked it up.

"the maitenance required light means it is time for a oil change."

imagine that, i had a question about an indicator on my car, and the book that came with my car tells me it.

or did you mean who was i talking to when i asked whats your favorite color?

julzrulz, but you can tell me too, lovinmytc. anyway, sorry to rant, it is just my thing.

it would be a lot easier if my car wasn't on the other side of campus and i didn't have to walk all the way over there by myself considering a girl was snatched at raped last week... no thanks, i think i'll stick to asking on here.. at least someone was helpful and not so critical. and to answer your question, i like to put it on shuffle. the changing colors amuse me
