![Question](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I have noticed 3 or 4 times since I got the car that when i jump in the car and start it that the radio fm presets don't show on the screen. I just get the standard search bars above but below where the stations show it is blank or its scrambled. I wondering if it has something to do with when the car goes to sleep.

It happened sometimes to me (on Business model with nav pro).
First time I wait, and after a night "sleep", in the morning, powering up the car, stations reappeared.
Other times I used this trick:
pass from FM ,where were forgotten preset stations, to AM play a few with AM stration then come back to FM and preset reappear.
The very few times that happened to me this "method" worked.
Hoping helpful for you.

It's a software glitch. It has happened to most of us before. I have seen it like 8 times in the last two months. And yes, same key every time. Hopefully the new software version (v12) will address it.
