By the way - what is I.C.E? (sorry for the newbie question)
Also - you might want to check if the dealer set your radio to the correct mode. You can do this by pressing and holding the SSP button for a few seconds until the Scion model displays. You can then use the volume **** to change models if necessary. I checked mine and the dealer had set it correctly. I tried the "XA" and "TC" modes and much preferred the way the "XB" mode sounded (surprise!). Whenever the battery is disconnected or drained, the radio will forget its mode and default to the "XA" mode - something to keep in mind.

(after I repair the damage )I used to drive my old Camaro before without the front license plates and I used to get ticketed all the time
I'd rather just put the front plate there and forget about it. I like to drive without worrying whether or not cops would pull me over

I read the instruction manual for the stereo, and it did NOT say anything about the different modes
I'll check it out when I get my car tomorrow

They surprised me and actually did it right the second time.

Click on accesories> then Wheels> then click the 3-new wheel covers. IMO, these new style covers forces you to buy rims. I don't know how to take pics off a Flash site. The 7-Spoke/Phone Dial/bB cover is gone.

I do love that radio, though. I saw another '06 one, and it has color changing, with the ***** on both left and right sides...
I will get one, if that is true, and put it in my Box. I like *****. ***** feel good in my hands.
Ah, a post about sticks and *****....if I was not a preacher, the jokes I could make.

I HATE the 10 Spoke wheel covers!! The cupholder lights are back but they are now the same color as the under dash!! YAY!! But I don't really care for the new wheel covers!! Although the 8 spoke are tight.
