Hidden menu for 2011+ "premium" head unit? EDIT:



Thanks to info from wondras and other contributors, we can now defeat our factory EQ and turn off "loudness"

Here's how:

To disable factory EQ:

With the unit OFF, press one of these combinations of buttons:



1 + 2 + TUNE (right knob) for SEDAN

1 + 3 + TUNE (right knob) for WAGON

1 + 4 + TUNE (right knob) for THROUGH MODE (or a flat output)



Results and proof that this works





To turn loudness on or off:



With the unit ON, press and hold 1, 6, and TUNE (right knob.) The display shows LOUD OFF or LOUD ON.



Again, see

Hey, does anyone have any idea if there is a "hidden" menu for the non-nav head unit used on the 2011 and up? I know there is for the nav unit, and the newer 4.3" unit, but I haven't seen anything for the regular unit yet. The hidden menu for those units lets you change many things, including the factory EQ!!



I know there is a tsb (TSB # 15-145-10) that talks about an update which might have the procedure for entering the menu to check the firmware version, but I do not have access to TSB's. If anyone has access to the full TSB would they mind PMing me? I could check it out and see if there is anything that might help.



Anyone have any idea? I love the functionality of these units, but HATE the crappy stock EQ.
