"Engineering Mode (1/2)" Assistance

I've never gone into the Engineering Mode before. Tonight, I went into it to enable the option of uploading MP3s to the HDD. I was able to enter the engineering mode menu, but it said "Engineering Menu (1/2)". That screen contained 7 options. I was unable to get to any other screens - as I think the MP3 option I'm looking for is #17 on the list, based on what I've seen in another post. The logical solution would be using the COMAND controller knob to scroll down, but it stopped at #7 with no option to get to a second screen.

Am I doing this wrong? If not, how do I get beyond this first screen? I searched the forum and couldn't find anything regarding this particular issue.

Thanks.

Thanks for the help. Yes, pulling down on the knob got me to the next menu screen. The problem now is that I seem to only have 10 options on my entire menu, where it looks like others have three pages. I'm baffled. Any ideas? When the option I'm looking for is #17 on a list of ten, I think I must be doing something wrong or am looking in the wrong place.

Thanks, theinmoe! I'd just figured it out as you posted this. I guess one has to be smarter than the car.

For the others who are interested in what I'm trying to do, here's the thread:
