beemer freak Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Is there anyway i can use the steering wheel controls to browse radio stations/sirius channels? i.e. go from sirius channel 3 to channel 4 without taking my hands off the steering wheel to use the direct tuning on the screen so i wont crash and burn in the middle of the road.

wlepse Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I don't think so or at least I haven't found a way. But if going through your presets is enough you can use the seek button as well as going through the screen on the right of the dash.

That's what I have on my 08 w/Nav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evh Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 For the AM/FM stations: - Pressing and letting out quickly, takes you to the next preset station - Pressing and holding for a second, and then letting up, makes it scan up or down, depending on what you pressed I don't have Sirius, not sure if the same is true.

wlepse Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes you still have (3) preset groups of (6). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 'kind of' works. I say that because it seems to jump around randomly sometimes. It's a weird behavior that I cannot figure out. Will need to play around more to figure out the nuances.

WuVT Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Just got my new Edge last Sunday. It is awesome. Also thought of this exact same question - if there is the ability to simply do channel up/down from the steering wheel? I'll try the "hold for a longer duration" approach and see how that works for me. Definitely interested to hear if any other ways to do this are discovered...

I've been looking for a way to browse channels also but haven't tried this out yet. Edited November 4, 2011 by fletcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
