^^^ I have mine set to xB I think... it does make a slight difference.
But... I have the iPod HU. I'm not sure how much different they are. Does the stock unit have the Scion Sound Processing (SSP?). There's a big button in the middle that says SSP on mine... it has 3 levels: Normal, Feel, and Hear. If your stereo is set to Normal, it will sound like crap, rather quiet with almost no bass at all. When you change it up to Feel or Hear it will dramitcally change the sound as compared to the Normal setting. The Normal setting is there as to keep the music in the background and not interfere with conversation and what not... the Hear setting is for "hearing" the bass, and the Feel setting, you guessed it... is for "feeling" the bass.
I keep the ASL turned off... I haven't really experimented with it, though. Basically, it adjusts the sound of the music according to the noise in (or out?) of the car... at least it says something like that in the HU manual. I'd rather just crank the volume myself rather than have it fluctuating by computer control. I could be wrong about how this works, though. I've always had it turned off.
Hopefully this helps. I thought for sure my stereo was broken until I found the SSP button. lol
