Is there a way to make it scroll or continue to the next line? I have the one that has iPod and XM.

hold the button down and it goes to the next line briefly. its only a 32 character display (16 per screen)

It sucks, but it's now becoming the new civic for everyone to have. At least around here, almost all new drivers have a tC. In my neighborhood, there are 7 tCs. Fun though, when they drive by and give me a rev or honk when I'm working on mine.

does this work on the 07's? i'll check it out in a few minutes. i already did the "customize the welcome message"...it took me a few times to get it to work, but nonetheless i figured it out.

There's a protective film layer over the clock.
There's inner handles to pull down the hatch.
There's shopping bag hooks in the backseat and trunk.

When i bought mine 2 years ago, i never even saw a single one on the road. Now i can't make it 2 miles to the gas station without passing 4 of them.

Another thing i noticed is that no matter what liquid hits the fabric seats, they will stain, and never come out. Even if its just water.

What? Well, I guess that makes sense, given the strange reflectivity... but now I'll never want to take them off!

Did you know that if you give a good tug to the inner handle, the hatch door will close on its own? Yup, no extra pushing the top of it from the outside! I usually push it anyways, though, because I don't like to pull the handle like that

Oh yea hey! I figured out something yesterday... when you turn the HVAC ****, the little indicator square ("arrow") on the **** changes colors according to the temperature setting you have... it was pretty cool, never knew that before either

Yes it does.

So does the easter egg for the word 'Scion' in Japanese.

No way!!! I did not know about the mode button on the steering wheel being able to turn off the stereo.

And I just recently discovered the changing light on the temp dial. Hey, I live in Florida - the temperature has been set on cold since I bought it!

I found out that the A Pillars were bigger than I was used to, and caused me to 2nd guess my turns (I end up taking right turns real wide)
I have the self dimming mirror and it took me 6 months and a friend to show me there are decorative lighting effects with it.

Ditto... I know its in the effin manual, but i lost my stereo manual, and i can't get it to work with the explainations i have searched for and found.

It seems like everyone has posted a way to do it but it never works when i try it...

I wish i could find the manual
