Anyway to use the steering wheel.....

buttons for the radio scan the presets instead of just scanning the whole am/fm band ?
Drove a new MB 300 today (loaner while getting mine a alignment) and it was nice to just scroll through the presets only but, not enough to buy a new E-63 YET.Thanks

Will give that a try thanks.
Found the answer in the booklet that came with the car and yes it will do what I want, scroll through the presets instead of just scanning the whole band.

How? I've read the booklet and can't find this. I've hated the steering wheels buttons because of this. How did you fix it?

In the settings on steering wheel change from band scan to preset scan.
I kept playing with it till I found it and in the booklet it said it could be done but after that I just played around till I found it.
