Hello all, I've searched the forum and searched the manuals and can't find any info on where the station listing is coming from when you toggle the steering wheel control you can scroll through a radio list displayed in the instrument cluster. Anyone know where this list comes from? Does Idrive auto scan your area and saves all good reception radio stations here? Or is this a result of manually going through the procedure of saving each radio station via the main dashboard radio controls?

Thanks!

Background scan for FM. Note this only shows the station in the same band, whether FM or Satellite (which uses a channel guide).

However, you can save only the stations you want to memory across the various bands and show only them if you prefer.

Thanks. I'll have to tinker around and configure this for sure.
