you are using one of the other functions).
– Select the desired radio station in the main FM radio menu with the control knob.All the FM stations that can be received are on this list. The list is limited to a
maximum of 30 stations.
If you listen to FM radio stations for more than 45 seconds, they become so-
called “favourite stations”. These stations are stored on the first six positions
of the FM station list.
When all six positions for “favourite stations” are occupied and you listen to
a station that is not one of the favourite stations for more than 45 seconds,
the new station will be stored in the favourite stations list. The “favourite
station” that you have not listened to for the longest will be pushed further
down the list (e.g. positions seven to thirty).
You can delete the six favourite stations from the list with the option Delete
last stations ⇒ page 46 under the Setup Radio function. Thereafter, any stations that you listen to for more than 45 seconds will be stored automati-
cally in one of the first six positions in the station list.
Note
It will not be possible to select a station (this includes favourite stations) if it
is outside reception range (the station name will be greyed out). You can try
to tune into stations with a weak reception signal using the tuning function

Regional stations
This function allows you to receive different regional stations
of a broadcasting network.– Starting from any one of the radio menus, press the
⇒page 9 button.
–In the Regional stations function, select on ⇒ fig. 47 to switch
on the regional stations function.Some radio stations split up their transmission at certain times into regional
programmes. In Germany, for instance, Bavarian radio's first channel broad-
casts regional programmes with differing content at certain times. These
cover Munich (display shows BR1 MUN), Swabia (BR1 SH) and Upper Bavaria
(BR1 OBB). The system searches for the strongest frequency signal and tunes
into it. This can lead to varying programme contents with regional stations. If
you want to continue listening to the current regional programme, switch on
the Regional stations option.

programmes, whenever the reception quality changes. The current regional
programme remains set. This can, however, lead to reception problems.

If you have set the station display to
moving ⇒ page 44, fig. 49, the ticker
text will be shown when you tune into a station broadcasting this type of
information.
Alternative frequencies– Starting from any one of the radio menus, press the ⇒page 9 button.
– Switch on the Alt. frequency function (on) ⇒ page 41, fig. 44 to
automatically change frequency within the same station.Because of the limited range of FM (VHF) signals, a radio station may broad-
cast from several transmitters on different frequencies. If the Alt. frequency
function is switched on (on), the radio-navigation system searches for the
strongest frequency signal and tunes into it.
The radio switches from one frequency to another inaudibly. The programme
name appearing on the display is not changed. The control wheel ⇒page 39
displays the corresponding frequency.
Note
To ensure optimum reception, the alternative frequency function will auto-
matically be set to on when you switch on the navigation system or switch to
another station.

the number of stations. This will be seen in the station list. For example: if you
select the "Classical" option, the station list will show those stations broad-
casting classical music.
Note
If you want all receivable stations to be displayed, regardless of whether they
support the PTY filter option, you must turn off all filter options.
Deleting the last stations– Starting from any one of the radio menus, press the

(so-called “favourite stations”) in the station list ⇒page 37. In other words,
the last six radio stations you listened to the most will no longer appear in the
first six positions in the list. They will be placed further down the list.
