i have searched this and other forums to find a way to change the "greeting" I get whenever the radio is powered up. I am speaking of the Pioneer single disc, that simply displays " Scion "

is this possible???

very possible.....the key is to r-e-a-d the owners manual for the radio has it explained in explicit detail.......basically this is how it's done

1. With the radio turned on, hold the "A" (audio) button and turn the car to the off position and back to ATT
2. Make sure the line below "Scion" is blinking and hold the "M" (mute) button and turn the car off and back to ATT
3. Using the volume controls, choose the letter then hit the A button to progress
4. To do symbols and stuff keep going through the characters available, i'm pretty sure there're numbers in there too.

My crazy girlfriend decided to read all of the manuals that came with my xB and she found some pretty cool stuff, like those hooks on the back of the front seats are for groceries and she learned how to *gasp* install that damn cargo net that is also used to hold a flat tire if u happen to get one and need to use the spare.

Have fun changing ur stuff!

Ok... so I've "read" the owner's manual that came with my stock single disc and it made no mention of this. Then I followed your directions as closely as possible (did you mean ACC instead of ATT?) and still didn't get it to change.

What gives?

i think he might mean the On position... i'll try it on my car in a few... i got the 6 disc changer, so i'll let you know how i did it/if it worked. He may have a 6 disc?

Jugglah

I tried both on and ACC but neither would get the line blinking....

tbblizzard

i got a break in 10 minutes.. i'll try it out and let you know.

tbblizzard

okay i just tried this, it don't work... i also looked through my manual.. no where in the manual does it show any information on the head unit... you must have a special manual or pulling our leg.

Went out and tried it, couldn't get it to work.

Went through all the books that came with the car, the book for the head unit was in there (6-disk) and it doesn't say anything about this.

Also went through the owners manual, just on the off chance it was listed there for some reason, nothing.

Would be nice, but I don't see a way to do it.

my dealership must've punked my head unit manual cause i don't see it in my glovebox... hate my dealership

I went out on break and tried it and it didn't work. I looked in the manual for the single disc, 6 disc and owner's manual and saw nothing about changing the display. It did talk about the XM radio and adding text with that, but it didn't talk about the SCION display when it first comes on.

yes i did mean acc i was in a rush it is in the leather thing with the first aid kit in the other side, in a plastic bag that's taped. i have a single so here's exactly from the book
1 with the main unit on, turn the key from acc position to the off position
2 on the main unit press and hold the AUDIO CONTROL then turn the key to ACC. the horizintal line in the LCD display will start flashing
3 within 15 sec. after confirming the horizontal line is flashing, press and hold MUTE buton then turn key to OFF position (if 15 sec. elapse before you complete the button presses, "TIME OUT" will be displayed and the unit will beep twice . if this occurs, repeat the procedure from Step 1) this completes shifting to customize mode

editing the text
1 press the VOL/LEVEL + or - buttons to change the flashing letter by displaying other letters one by one. the letters will change continuously if u press and hold the + or - button. list of letters and characters: Upper case A-Z, lower case a-z, numbers 0-9, spaces, symbols (!"# and so on)
2 with the character that you want to select displayed press the audio control button to select it continue this up to 12 characters
3 if you are done selecting your text, press and hold AUDIO CONRTOL button this registers your text for the welcome screen



try that one sorry i got it mixed up, remember SHE did it not me i apologize
