Listening to the radio53
MMI componentsMMI control consoleMulti-function steering wheelTelephone handsetVoice control
Listening to the radio
Introduction
The radio has four wavebands: FM, MW, LW and DAB* (digital radio).
The stations which are currently within reception range are
displayed in a station list and can be selected. Of course you can
tune the radio to the next available station or scan all stations via
the MMI control console. You can store your favourite stations in
any order on a memory list.
FM (very high frequency)
The FM station list (max. 30 stations) is updated automatically. You
can set the station list to display the five radio stations that you listen to most frequently at the top of the station list. Other available
stations will appear further down the list
fig. 43.
Radio stations that appear in grey lettering cannot be selected as
they are not within reception range.
Medium and long wave (MW/LW band)
The MW and LW station lists (max. 30 stations) must be updated
manually
page 54, fig. 46.
When you leave the range of reception the stations in the station
lists will still be displayed, but the reception will be poor.
Digital radio* (DAB frequency)
If you are listening to “Digital Audio Broadcasting”* the station list
shows so-called ensembles. Ensembles cover a specific area (e.g. a
city or region) and comprise various radio stations. The frequency
range can be restricted to regional ensembles
page 62.
The station list (max. 60 stations) must be updated manually. This
may take some time.
If you leave the range of reception, ensembles or radio stations
which can no longer be received are marked with the symbol

fig. 44. The symbol disappears as soon as the ensemble or radio
station can be received again.
If the MMI has been switched off for more than ten minutes (ignition
key removed), the last five ensembles that you listened to will auto-
matically be checked for reception when the MMI is switched back
on. Any ensembles that are no longer available will not appear in the
station list.
