2007 Civic EX - Stereo Welcome Message

[EBounding]

I got a 2007 EX (no navigation) today and I'm loving it. But one little thing that's been irritating me is how the "Welcome" message is not appearing on the stereo when I put the accessories on or turn on the car. I know I saw it during test drives. I checked the manual for it and it described how to change the custom message by holding the Tune knob and then the Power/Volume knob. It'll then display the character you want to change. The only thing that happens though is the radio turning on. There's no blinking cursor or anything to change the characters. And like I said, the default "WELCOME" message isn't even appearing in the first place.

I'm sure there's some small silly thing I'm missing, which is why I'd rather embarrass myself here before I go talk to the dealership about it. Fortunately though this has been my only problem.

Thanks all.

I went to the dealer and one of them said that it'll only show it on Civic coupe's. I checked the sedan in the showroom and it indeed did not show the Welcome message. Can anyone with an EX sedan verify this? Because I swear I saw it when I test drove one at another dealership.

Yeah, for some reason they didn't include this feature on the sedans. Couldn't imagine why not, I'd want to feel welcome in my sedan...

I know... I've been aware of that for a long time because my dad has an LX sedan. I just don't get why HONDA didn't include this little feature in the sedans.

i notice this happens ONLY when you actually turn the car ON (in other words the engine is started, nt putting it to acces.)
