10. what are the hidden radio welcome messages on the tC head unit (works with 1st gen scion pioneer head units)?
these are what we call 'easter eggs'. some people consider them silly and that they aren't 'needed', but honestly, have any other car makers out there been as creative as scion with offering stuff like this? no, i didn't think so you pontiac g6 lover! ok, on the standard pioneer head units that are included on every scion (so far), there are some custom, pre-set welcome messages. follow these steps to get the message you want:

welcome message


procedure
*note*
first, you must be in "secret function mode" before you enter in the following codes. to enter into secret function mode, do the following: with the key turned off, press and hold 'A' on the head unit and turn the key to 'ACC'. you will now be in secret function mode and you have 15 seconds to perform the code of your chose below.

PushMyButton


press and hold 'M' 'A' and '2' simutaneously. now turn the key to off.

WhatMovesYou


press and hold 'A' and 'TEXT' simutaneously and turn the key so 'ACC' is off.

Scion=A+B+C


from the AM setting, press and hold "FOLDER UP' and 'SCAN' simultaneously and turn the key so 'ACC' is off.

(Scion In Japanese)


insert cd and set to track number 2, press and hold 'Folder Down' and 'Text' simultaneously and turn the key so 'ACC' is off.
