Ohhhh....so you'd rather waster OUR time by having to read and answer something simple like the automatic volume control, or the page button on the HUD which, obviously, you could figure if you just PUSHED THE BUTTON.

Do-It-Yourself owners will be most interested in the display of diagnostic trouble codes for all modules that transmit them. The "Diagnostic Display Mode" is entered with the following procedure:
1) Turn on the ignition but don't start the engine.
2) Press the "RESET" button to turn off any warning messages
3) Press and hold "OPTIONS"
4) While holding "OPTIONS", press "FUEL" four times within a 10-second period.
Initially, on-board diagnostics go into an "Automatic Mode" which shows diagnostic codes in a pre-set sequence: PCM - TCS - RTD - BCM - IPC - RADIO - HVAC - LDCM - RDCM - SCM - RFA. All codes will be displayed for each module. If none are present in a given module, you will see "No More Codes" on the display.
There are two kinds of diagnostic codes, "Current" and "History", designated with a letter suffix, "C" or "H". A current code indicates a malfunction is present in the module displaying data. A history code indicates a problem existed sometime in the last 40 or 50 ignition cycles. When not accompanied by a current code of the same number, it's potential evidence of a previous problem, now resolved, that was not removed by clearing the codes. More likely it's an indication of an intermittent malfunction.
To reset the codes once in manual mode, press and hold "RESET" until it displays "NO CODES". Press "OPTIONS" to go to the next module. Repeat the steps until you have reset the codes in all the computer modules.

Lost DIC beep..
Stupid question..
Does changing to an aftermarket radio make this happen?
I had an aftermarket radio since 2000, but just got a brand new one & now I've noticed the DIC doesn't beep while scrolling..
It does beep intermittently if I take off the A/H..
Sometimes it beeps, sometimes it doesn't.
But scrolling thru the buttons & settings, it is quiet..
Just looking for confirmation that its due to the new radio & normal..
