ok for the lazy ones this is how you do it:
1.W. main unit on turn key from ACC position to the off position
2. On the main unit press and hold MUTE then turn key to ACC. The horizontal line in the LCD will start flashing
3. W/in 15sec after confirming the horizontal line is flashing press and hold the PRESET 1 button then turn the key to OFF position.
This completes shifting to the customize mode.
After completing the shift to customize mode, a flashing cursor shows the letter that can be edited by selecting a letter starting from "A".
1. Press PRESET 3 or 4 to change the flashing letter
2. Press PRESET 6 to select it
3. After you are finisehd selecting the text for the line, press and hold the PRESET 6 button.
Pretty elaborate directions but i remember having alot of trouble when i tried it so make sure you follow it step by step exactly lol

Mine says Scion in Japanese text. And yes, you can do that... and no it is not in the manual (at least on the 05 - 06's) ... but since it was posted on here back in 2005 a ton of times along with the instructions listed above.. I will not post the directions

Kinda dorky but mine says System Ready so that it shows up at the same time as my Radar Detector says it. Yeah, it makes me feel really cool and i end up murmuring all systems go sometimes before i pull away. Yesterday i made it say a**hole with an arrow to the passenger so that my friend would see it when he got in, much laughter ensued.

When I got my '05 tC, it had some woman's name on it, so I had no choice but to pull out the manual and update it. It reads my website, Jaypoc.com now... I don't know how ANYBODY would figure that out without the manual.
