Another Radio Question (Changing Presets Using Steering Wheel)

Can I change presets using the steering wheel in my CLS? As far as I can tell, the steering wheel only lets me seek to the next available station. I had a loaner C230 for a few days and it gave me the option of changing stations by signal strength or preset. I can't find a similar option in the CLS, though.

Many thanks in advance.

no, you can't change the presets on the steering wheel that i know of. Just press the buttons on the keypad, that's what I do anyways.

Yes, you can change using presets instead of seek on the steering wheel buttons. You need to go into the system menu to change that. I did mine long time ago, so is definitely possible but forgot the steps.

Incorrect. Not all MYs can do it. His is an older MY (CLS500)
