The Scion xD comes standard with a Pioneer audio system that features eight dynamic speakers throughout the vehicle for better sound quality. You can upgrade the xD to include XM(2) satellite radio. The audio system offers 300 watts of maximum power. It comes with an AM/FM radio, a rear roof antenna and a CD player.
System
The system features an automatic sound levelizer, scion sound processing and sound retouch. The CD player can play CD, CD-R and CD-RW formats. The system also supports WMA, AAC and MP3 files in CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW formats. The xD features two USB ports for docking an iPod and an MP3 player; connector cables come with the vehicle. The iPod port allows the use of a standard iPod, as well as iPod Nano, Touch and Classic. The unit is also compatible with an iPhone.
Sound Quality
The Scion Sound Processing (SSP) system has a control button located on the console under the multi-selector. SSP allows the user to select from one of three custom sounds. "Neutral" provides a regular sound, "Hear" gives a louder sound and "Feel" recreates the sound from the musician's viewpoint. The audio sound levelizer adjusts the volume to offset ambient noises in the vehicle. It has three settings. The multi-selector allows the user to switch between normal and reverse subwoofer output and to control the balance, treble and bass of the tracks. Those with iPods can adjust audio book speed through the multi-selector with three settings: faster, slower and normal.
Controls
The audio system has built-in audio controls on the left side of the steering wheel. The main console features a display panel and a multi-selector dial that controls the CD player, iPod or MP3 player, AM/FM radio and satellite radio if installed.
