Default Radio Greeting? (Hello!)

I am the proud owner of a 2004 Mazda 3 HB. I noticed that when I turn my car on, the Radio says "Hello!". I was wondering if there is any way to change that. I know on some cars, you can change the greeting, and wanted to do the same one mine. I didn't see anything in the manual so I don't know if there is a trick to it.

I love it too!! I like to call my car "KIT" (from night rider) because of the volume lights. I was just wondering if you can change what it says?

it is possible to change the greeting on your lcd display. i've seen how-to write ups on mazda3forums for this modification. good luck

Is it possible? Yes. Is it widely known how? No. Basically the only person who's been able to do this is in Russia. He built a module that spliced into the display wiring and let him change stuff. He stated the Hello was changed (but didn't show pics), and he showed how he's set up the display to display info. from his back up sensors (decreasing distance ending with "STOP"). All that being said no one's ever gotten how he did it out of him, and AFAIK there are no walkthroughs on mazda3forums on how to do it.

So aside from that one case above no it's not possible.

Hello! I am an autotragic ='(
But i feel like a kid again when i can play "pretend" when i pretend to shift my four gears like five with my up and down motion, yay +/-. Its crazy how light my clutch pedal is, its almost like its not there lol.
