Question How to remove unwanted radio presets?




I don't have the dual-wide-screen-cockpit option, as shown above, what do you call the above type of cockpit?

Is it possible to delete unwanted radio station presets?
Thank you!

UPDATE:
I seem to have used the wrong terminology, I am trying to remove radio stations from the main "carousel" view. I realize "presets" is a separate list from what appears in the main carousel. It looks like this:

Yes. I believe you simply press and hold and the option will come up.

Hold down the main knob and wait for an option to appear?

Station presets view: OFF/ON

Is my audio system (shown in photos above) known as "Audio 20"? And this is NOT "COMAND"?

My car does not have a phone numberpad like some other Merc models I have ever seen. So what is the purpose of the presets 0, 1, 2, 3... How do you make use of them like shortcuts?

Will try this when I'm at my car, but my guess is that I should be using this:
Station presets view: OFF/ON

Perhaps (I hope) when it is OFF, the carousel displays all auto-tuned stations.
And when it is ON, the carousel only displays stations from the presets list.
UPDATE: I have confirmed that the above is true, so my problem is solved.

My AD salesperson said that it is not possible to remove stations from the carousel view of auto-tuned stations, and I hope that if the carousel view can be restricted to just those in presets list, then this is a solution.

To your previous question, the carousel view is definitely not the same one I have on my dual screen. It is the one I had on my 205 c class. you showed a screen where it gave you the option to edit, within that function there has to be a delete option, it will then disappear from the carousel view.

For my head unit, (as shown in my photos, does any one know if "Audio 20" is its definitive name?), the carousel view can be in one of two modes: Station presets view: OFF/ON

When it is OFF, the carousel contains all auto-tuned stations. It is not possible to remove stations from here.

When it is ON, the carousel contains only the stations which are in the presets list. The presets list is completely editable, so thru this, you indirectly control what appears in the carousel view.

I wish this thread can be marked as solved.
