No playback ?

Hi guys totally new here with a pretty trivial question. . I just bought a 2018 e63s. Love it. I'm just wondering why there's no playback function on my radio? I see reviews for 2018 and they have the little bar on the bottom when listening to xm radio. Is this an added feature or was it part of a computer update? Sorry I know it's a dumb question but just curious how such an expensive car, I can't play back my music. I even tried talking to the car to play back a song and it responded that it's not a currently available feature.

To get playback, you need to select station(s) for “smart playback”. Time to read the manual. 😉

thanks for your response. Theres nothing called smart playback. I also looked in the manual and theres nothing listed on how to playback a song

. None of the pictures in the manual also show the station with the playback function

My apologies, the term is "smart favorites". Here's an excerpt from the 2018 E-Class wagon manual:

Thanks for that, but I tried and my radio doesn't have those prompts

. When I highlight a station I don't get that arrow shown on your picture (highlight an entry, select)

I do get the icon here ^^ under my presets but the only options it gives me is to move or delete the preset

Curious. Do you have the hard copy manual? If yes, does it contain the section on smart favourites?

I do have it. And I went through the entire radio section. Theres no mention of that feature. And every picture of the radio shows it without the playback function. They all look like my pictures
