I'm not sure if anybody knows this yet or not.. I didn't until now. You know if you push the right knob it will show the artist, song, genre, etc. We also know that the radio will constantly show the station name (atleast mine did at first). Well you can change it to constantly show the artist, song name, or genre. All you have to do is hit the button until you get to the info you want to show constantly. Say you want the artist to show on the radio constantly (my choice).. just hit the button until the artist shows up then hold it in until the radio beeps. Now when you change stations the artist name will automatically pop up. I think this comes in handy a lot on XM Radio. Sorry if this is a repost.. just havn't seen it anywhere else yet.

 

cool find thanks

 

That's in the manual. I wonder if anybody ever reads those things?

 

SWEET TIP. thanks

 

Read it front to back? pffft... no. LOL I do look at it just for quick reference if I need to know something. This radio thing was just something I stumbled upon.

 

whats a manual, like the transmission... I got one of those

 

I knew you could push in the button to make it display the song and artist but I didnt know you could set it that way. Thanks for the tip, now when I finally get my car back from warranty work I can try it out.

 

hahaha, thats great. Not all too often I get that good of a laugh outta something I read.

Anyways, cool detail. I think I'm gonna have to play around when I get it.

 

I must be the only person to ever read an owner's manual, Out of BOREDOM.

 

yeah thats pretty sweet...that my new preset

 

I brought mine to chemistry lecture the other day and read it.

 

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

 

I browsed it when i got mine but i havent read it. Good find on the radio tho. Thanks for the tip.

 

I don't read it cover to cover either, but you'd think you'd at least browse it and read the radio section. The radio is pretty advanced for a stock radio. Doubt anybody will fully know how it works from intuition alone.

There was also a quick guide or something that I got with the car as well that had a bunch of radio information on it.

 

Is there anyway to just adjust the lvl of the subwoofer?

 

By hitting the EQ button till bass comes up, and adjusting it using the knob on the right

 

i know that but the subwoofer lvl itself like every other aftermarket system, not the bass

 

I skimmed through the manual and I found nothing in there for the subwoofer like if you wanted to turn it off or something like you can usually do with aftermarket decks and subwoofers.

I guess the moral of this thread is read the manual. There is actually some useful information in it.

 

adjusting the subwoofer gain? The 04-06 GTO subwoofers have an adjustment knob on the factory subwoofer for more or less gain (bass). It is on the rear of the subwoofer and a little hard to reach. I haven't heard of anyone who has discovered any adjustment on the Cobalt's factory subwoofer.

Doc

 

I do!!! good material for when im shittin :-)

 

Bring back dead threads much guys?

 

Reeeeeeally? I'll have to give it a look.
