How to change radio using steering wheel???

I just picked up my 06 c230 (pics to come later on today)

I also have a clk320 and in the clk when you use the steering wheel buttons, you can change the radio to your presets. In the C class, it simply seeks with the up/down button. How can i make it so it doesn't seek but goes to my presets? I also have command if that makes a difference. TIA

i believe that the newer c class only seeks from the steering wheel. the older c class models can do the preset

Go to the settings, you can do either presets or by stations. I dont remember the exact steps but it can be done through the settings(not the command settings but the settings in your display cluster)

D2B based systems can do the preset/frequency search from teh steering wheel buttons...MOST based systems (2005 and up) can only do the frequency search from the steering wheel

excites your girlfriend
I was looking through the settings after i had the dealer update my software and i found a menu where you could set it to scan presets or seek but it doesn't do anything when you set it. However the option is there, it just doesn't work.
