Sound System Questions (Comand/Nav)
There are at least 3 ways that I can use to seek or scan through all of the radio atations available on the dial. Is there any way to scan just through the stations that I have set as presets only? I can't find a way to do this on the radio or from the wheel? My car was built in Nov '03, and I understand there is a software update for it. Why?
It has made crakling noises which got louder and then it turned itself off twice & I was unable to get it to play in any mode until a restart several hours later. It has stayed in the daytime screen illumination mode at night once for a 24 hour period, it has made a high pitched squeel and rebooted once while playing a single CD. It has also mysteriously switched to playing a CD from the stacker while displaying the FM Radio Screen while I was listening to an FM ststion!
Is the US Sirius Satellite radio kit available at the dealer yet?

I am not aware of anyway to scroll through the presets. It has been discussed on this forum several times and no one seems have an answer for that one.
The software upgrade should take care of your "static" issue and other command problems - do a search on radio static to learn more.

Just seems strange that they would carry this function in the US for older versions, then delete it just in the US for the 211 while still providing it to Europe...
good luck.

Sorry, but we do have it.

Regardless of whether preset stations can be scrolled on other MB models, it's not available on any North American W211. End of discussion.

It should be an FAQ that the North American W211s do not have preset radio scrolling ability.
My old R230 has the feature, but the W211s definitely don't.
