CAS to Mach speed

when do you switch from CAS to mach speed, at what altitude/ air speed.
does the PFD switchs automatically?.

where is TAS indicated?

this really bug me, the highest I have flown was 23000 feet and I got 120knots(Calibrated a/s) for a plane cruising at 165knots.
to get my TAS (substracted from my GS) I use the GPS.(my plane has lot of needles...)

could you give me more info, about airspeed in your real life as a pilot?
