"and they got the programming incorrect for the model names. so you are programming it to the correct setting. "
Exactly who told you this? And why do you believe it to be true?

it jsut pretty much prevents you from locking yer keys in yer car, but like as stated above, it only works if they key is turned off but still in the ignition, say if u left the key on the seat and the car's off, then u're s.o.l.

hold down your ssp button for a few seconds until it shows u and says "scion tc" use your volume buttons to change it to scion xb or xa whichever you prefer. (have a cd in there that bumps and you will tell the difference) also this is entirely seperate from feel, or hear settings.
your stereo will sound better. i wish everyone was told this when they get the car, because you have to be told in order to know this.
fyi this changes the settings for your speakers, which are programmed differently for the scion models, and they got the programming incorrect for the model names. so you are programming it to the correct setting.
if you havent done this, go to your car and do it right now, and you will be forever happy. this post should be a sticky within itself, since it is such mandatory stereo info.

Steering wheel controls
I remember seeing somewhere last night how someone was bummed that they couldn't turn the HU off from the steering wheel while the door was closed... thought that was weird that toyota wouldn't let you do that.... Try pressing and holding the mode button - the same button you use to turn it on! It's not like some complicated thing. It works, I tried it this morning, dunno why this person couldn't figure it out.
Just thought maybe this is one of those obvious things that should get added to the list for uncreative people.
Great post btw
comment: might be nice to include a link of the How To's of trim removal especially for the forward center console (around the stick shift) to remove the stupid light in that forward bin under the dash.

I think the light in the dash is kind of cool... if there isn't anything stored in there. now that I have a couple of things stored in there, all the light does is light up my clutter!
I too was wondering about the break-in though. probably 6-700 miles of my first 1000 was a fairly high speed interstate road trip. Does that really hurt anything?
