StephenFord Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I can only get my radio to seek manually, ie, every touch of the seek button will move the frequency up/down 0,1. I want it to 'auto' seek to the next station. The instruction book (yes, that's how stumped I am, got the book out LOL) says, "Seek tuning -Select a waveband and briefly press one of the SEEK or arrow buttons.The unit will stop at the first station it finds in the direction you have chosen..." This does not work, and if you hold the button down, it just scans for as long as you hold the button in. I simply want to change the 'manual' to 'auto', what am I missing?

TomsFocus Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 If you keep pressing menu, it should change from manual to seek or scan I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom, it does change to a 'scan' option, but it still doesn't seek the next available station, just goes up or down in little itsy bits of frequency. I'm usually pretty adept at working through menus, but this has me lost! 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try finding a DAB station on the Mk3...500 physical buttons yet none of them make any sense! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botus Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 steering wheel control scans more than the radio's own buttons on the later ones.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have a 2005 car, the headset is 2009 (a replacement I had to buy). I'm afraid using the steering wheel controls make no difference. I just know it'll be something stupidly simple, a bit like me really 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, right, I'm away for a lie down! It's even older than my car 😅 Now, I wonder if the 'seek' function has expired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
