When putting FM stations into memory, iDrive gives me the option to enable RDS and something called "favorites". Does anybody have a clue what that does? Is their a way to only surf, via the toggle on the steering wheel, through the stations I have actually set in memory. What I find now is that I end up having to surf through like 4-6 blank stations (really FM 87.8 or something likke that) to get back to the beginning of my presets, which is kind of annoying.....

Thanks!

Cheers,

OnOn

If you have fewer favorite stations than slots available in IDrive, try replacing the blank slots, pre-programmed with 87.8 or something, with duplicates of your favorites. This should make it a little less obnoxious to scan through your list.
