My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
I live in a place where there are not 12 stations that I like enough to program into the presets on the radio. Is there a way to only program 7 or 8. Now I have one key set with the stations I like and sometimes the same station is position 1 and 10 and the other key set to 12 stations, but some I skip over.
I know I should let my wife have the other key, but
she looses things
and
she refused to sit in the car while I programmed a key around her

You can't program less than 12 but one trick is to program your favorites more than once. For example, program the first 7 or 8 and then put whatever station is stored in 1 in 9, 2 in 10, etc.
It's a silly trick but it's better than nothing, I suppose...

I think the default to 87 is what we're trying to avoid here...
Is this you driving your John BMW Deere?
Sorry, I'm trying to understand your avatars???
