'05 C55 AMG
Radio Preset

So, I took my car in for work and they give me a '04 C230 to drive.

I am playing with the steering wheel controls and I notice wehn you in the radio menu and use the up and down arrows, it only goes to the preset stations. On my C55 when I go up and down on the arrows it scans to the next strong radio station. I do not want to go to every station, only my presets. Is there a way to problem my C55 to do this??

Thanks.

It sounds like the loaner has the multifunction steering wheel set to station search using memory, versus your car, which has it set to frequency. In my CLK, that is set by going into the settings display on the multifunction steering wheel (the panel that says SETTINGS CAN BE SET AT STANDSTILL), and scrolling through until I reach "station search using", and then picking a preference.

I don't think in the '05's you can choose between presets and scanning like you can in the '04 and previous years. I always have mine set to scroll pre-set stations.

It is not possible on the '05 C55 to have the preset functionality. When MB replaced D2B with MOST - this functionality was lost. Oddly, the STAR system will show it as an option - but if activated - still doesn't function.

I took my C55 in for service a couple of weeks ago and they upgraded my Stardiag software to the latest version. When I was playing with all the settings I noticed I now had the option to scan presets with the steering wheel. Needless to say I was extremely excited because this feature is what I miss most from my 02 C240. Needless to say even though I can choose the option now it still only scans frequencies and not presets.
