2008 SL65 Radio Preset Question
Hi Guys,

I have a 2006 CL55 and a 2008 sl65. Both radio setups seem to be identical. On the SL65 however, I can't seem to be able to use the steering wheel control buttons to change the radio presets. I looked at the manual and tried to follow the instructions, and it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Could this just be a bug in the steering wheel, etc.? Please chime in...

It's a setting in star that needs to be coded, I can help if you're local.

I'm in CT. Is it anything you can communicate in writing for how to program?

Go to instrument cluster then control unit adaptation and variant coding and it should be a setting there for radio frequency or presets.
