Does the radio not have a seek button? I see that it has a scan, but I'm not seeing seek.
For that matter, when I clicked on Scan, it cycled through the Presets. I thought that was odd. Maybe I need to be in Manual mode, as opposed to having the presets up? |
Suggest you dig out the manual and give it a review in the radio section as it has too many options to explain fully here...
in brief, after a really quick review... the <> buttons (console or wheel) will choose what to based on whether you are in autostore/preset/manual mode... and, if you press and HOLD the <> button it should go into a search wherein it will find a station, play it for a few seconds, then move on to the next (unless you interrupt it again with either < or > - whichever, i assume, with which you had started the search that is it in brief-- play with it some more, or check out the manual... all in all it is one of the most clever dealios for a car radio tuner i've seen to date -- i like the autostore, with which assuming I understand it correctly, on a trip away from your regular presets, you can update the six strongest signals and store them, and do it again and again, without overwriting the twelve stored good luck |
See at page 135 of the online manual posted somewhere else on board. It takes you a few movements with the idrive button and it saves you a lot of buttons. Good luck

Skidster, I clearly indicated "Seek", not "Scan". I have yet to see a "Seek" function.
|
call it what you will - what do you want it to do exactly that it is not doing?
|
To move to the next properly tuned station and stay there until I hit the button again. Again, just like "seek" normaly works...
|
It's the Up arrow and Down arrow on the steering wheel buttons (right side).
Press briefly to change station. Press longer: manual tuning or automatic search scan. |
Why do you need a seek function? The radio has a mode where all well-tuned stations are displayed on the I-Drive screen and you can just turn the I-Drive knob to go to the next/previous station, isn't this more or less the same as a seek function?

arrow buttons on steering wheel, when radio is playing
up/down to next memorised station, if Memorised stations is selected (in Idrive) up/down to next station with enough strength, if All stations is selected up/down to next in auto-store list, if that has been selected (i think this one works this way but haven't used it) where you're missing it i think is in terms of current iDrive selection for the radio (memorised v all stations) in that the press or press&hold action of the steering wheel buttons (or for that matter, the console buttons as well) changes depending on that iDrive current selection |
Does anyone know, when the all-stations display is active, if the list is updated automatically during long inter-city drives? Thanks so much.
