I have one of my steering wheel buttons set for "Next Entertainment Source." When I use the button to scroll through the sources, however, it skips either AM or FM. It only stops on whichever of those two sources I was last used. It always stops on Aux, WB, and CD.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I haven't tried using "next entertainment source" on a steering wheel button yet but I suspect that the feature is tied to the "mode" button now (at the end of the six "favorites" buttons) since there's also a dedicated AM/FM button. If you ask me, since those buttons are now on the dash, you're wasting a steering wheel button on that feature...
I have not gotten around to programming the dash buttons yet, as I have not decided what to do with them. Bluetooth / voice activation is all new to me and I have not spent enough time in the car to figure out what I will use the most. I had the next entertainment source programmed on the 545 and set up the new one the same way out of habbitt.
MINE does that too, the source changes from RADIO (which ever i was on last) then to CD and then to AUX (ipod)
as you mentioned, i cant move source from AM TO FM, OR LW
Any ideas or suggestions Rudy?

Interesting that your car is acting like the newer LCI. I wonder if this is a bug in the software? Could be that we found an excuse for a free progman upgrade if/when BMW fixes this problem...

By the way, speaking of the favorites buttons, I realize they are a logical progression of things as the car evolves but even though it may have been an obvious design trend, I'm going to take some credit for it...
