I found a "new" feature of the stereo system after having owned my GTO for a year and a half. I've occasionally had the stereo come on when its been turned off. I figured out last night that, if the stereo is off, it will turn on if you hit the mode button on the steering wheel. Guess I should have known that from the beginning.

That's okay...do you know that your amp can be increased from the factory setting? The factory only has it set at 50% of it's true power....turn that joker up and it will improve the sound of your system!

I didn't know that either. Thanks.

Probably another obvious one, but it took me a month to figure out that, when in CD mode, if you hold down one of the << or >> keys on the wheel for about 2 seconds, you will switch CD's. I guess I should RTFM!

Does this also go for the 04, we've only had the GTO for 2 months tomorrow(in fact).

Hmmmmm, might have to take her out for an anniversary celebration!!arty:

But seriously does this go for the 04 amp as well.

I think it does....

I think it does....

Yes it does. I didn't think it made a huge difference though I didn't crank mine. Mainly I just had to turn the bass down in as it was too low end heavy for my tastes.

Xman - I hit the mode button with my long monkey fingers a long time ago, but the first couple of times I was like "what the heck!!...." to why the stereo suddenly turned on for no reason!

In addition to turning the amp gain up, I found the sound was best when the "EQ" feature was turned off, and the sound modified with the standard bass and treble.

Gary

I also found that there are 4 presets for the over speed sensor "chime" mine are set to 30, 50, 60, 130:cool pretty handy when your in and out of so many cotton pickin' speed zones. Press mode till the O/Speed shows up and quickly press MODE again and then use the SET & UP, DOWN keys. Also it's cool when ya press MODE & SET at the same time and turn the ignition to the on position LOTS of useful information here.

I read the manual but did not see any of this. Will try the CD switch tomorrow.

He's not trying to play a joke on you. You get a bunch of information from the car's computers. Coolant temp, serial number, operating system version, trouble codes and a bunch of other stuff. If you haven't tried it, you should.

I didn't think he was playing a joke on me. The comments were due to another thread we were on. Just havin' a little fun! :lol:

Ok, just wanted to make sure.
Have a nice thursday.

 

[C5ORGTO]

Interesting. I'm sure a lot of people didn't know about the mode button feature. I never turn my stereo off, in any of my cars. I may turn it down, but not off.

Hey Monica Just make sure ya do not press Mode & the throttle to the floor & open the glove box & press the trunk release button and turn the radio on and back off all at the same time or your GTO will turn into a Honda Cvic :lol:

Oh wow, how odd...when I pushed mode, hit the brake, pushed the door lock button, trunk release, changed the radio to 88.8, and farted, my GTO turned into a Z06!
Honda Civic... :willy:
That's like Marrying Alessandra Ambrosio, having a fun-filled night and waking up next to yout mother.
