Sirius traffic disables console knob functionality
I have a 2010 E550 coupe. Just subscribed to Sirius radio and traffic. For those wanting to do, the customer service rep will likely be challenged by the "2 device" integration / configuration of the radio and traffic components - which led to her indicating I would be charged double for activating both. Once I gave provide the unique radio and traffic ids she was able to move forward.
My question:
Has anyone else done this and noticed that they lose the functionality to "twist" the console knob (physically it twists fine) in that spinning does nothing anymore for either the radio settings or navigation.
I used to be able to use the knob to zoom in or out in the navigation mode. I can no longer do this.
Also, I used to be able to use the knob to select upper and lower tabs on the screen or move between radio stations. Again, I can no longer do this.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks - David
