Dab Radio Information

Hi forgive me for not looking in the manual.

However is it possible to receive programme information ie singer/song title rather than just radio station ie 105fm or radio 1

I have business media if that makes any difference.

Cheers

Yep, just click right with the idrive controller and choose show station information.

Dab only of course

Unfortunately, you can't choose it as one of the preset 1-8 buttons so have to click right each time.

Bloody annoying that you have to do it each time you get in the car/change radio station though!

The DAB in my E90 could just be set to station info and it would stay there!

I could be wrong, but I think mine shows the station info automatically on DAB stations without doing anything else. It is raining hard right now but will check tomorrow. I have only listened to Radio 4 in it, in case some stations differ from others. It is possible there was a minor software change for post March 14 build cars.

So just flicked through a few DAB stations while on the 'DAB/DMB' screen using the thumb wheel on the steering wheel. It gives full programme details each time without doing anything else. I don't have preset stations as just tend to leave on R4.

This is with pro nav.

I think to avoid having to click each time you need pro nav.

Yep on business nav it reverts back every time you change channel or turn the ignition off or change to phone.
