I was wondering if with vagcom you can change the scroll-wheel on the steering wheel to run through the 6 presets, rather than just going through all of the stations. The way it is, I find it useless but it would be great if it could go through my presets. Maybe I just missed it in the owners manual...but I don't think VW gives you a way to change it... Btw, it's an '04.5 V8 w/ nav - fully loaded.
View 5 RepliesHappened for the second time in 5 days this morning. Radio starts up and says reinitializing and then comes back with all presets to 184. Don't like this happening!!
View 5 RepliesI have a V8 w/o navigation. I am able to adjust the volume of the radio from the steering column but would like to know whther I can change stations from the steering column as well. None of the controls seem to allow it.
View 5 RepliesThe thing just randomly will dump it's station preset memory and I'll turn the car on and all my stations will be gone and replaced with 184 (weather, i think). Everything else is fine, FM is fine, and it remembers everything else... it just loses SR1/SR2 presets. Very odd.
View 5 RepliesI let a freind, Phaton owner, drive my Touareg this morning and he showed me that one can select band and channel from the control dial on the steering wheel. I can't seem to find details in my manual. Looking for operation details?

Are you able to control/change radio chanels and cd tracks from the buttons on the steering wheel besides the controling volume. I remember when I test drove a base model Treg the salesperson was showing me this using the thumb wheel he was changing radio chanels. For some reason I can't do the same. Are there any secrets to this?

View 3 RepliesI've read the manual many times...and I know it was this way too in a previous Passat I had. On a V10, can the steering wheel radio controls be made to change 'preset radio stations' instead of scanning to the next higher/lower station???
View 1 RepliesThis light started coming on only yesterday, right after I finished installing the elearnaid replacement Optima battery. It now happens every time I start the car, along with all the other lights that normally come on, and disappearing after a few seconds, like the other dash lights that are supposed to come on when you start the car.
I did have to replace my radio presets, the time on the clock, and once again remove the reverse beep, which I did with no difficulty, but this "MAINT REQD" light still comes on.
This light should not come on since I had the oil changed last month and until yesterday's 12v Optima replacement, the light indeed did not come on.
I tried a fix, which did not work:

Replaced a 12v battery? How to get rid of this light?
I've had this 2013 Prius v (lowercase v for the Prius v wagon) for about 6 months. During that time on at least three or four occasions I've lost all my radio presets. They just disappear and are replaced with stations I don't use. It seems to happen in between car usages, not while driving, but I am not sure about that. I am not noticing any other problems. It's a HD radio. I did not continue Sirius after the introduction period.
View 13 RepliesI bought the 1999 GLS, came with JVC radio. I get ONE radio station in scan; when manually tuning to local stations, there is either nothing, or very poor reception. I had the radio pulled out (by local car radio shop), antenna is plugged in. I put a new flexible 16" roof antenna on (when removing it, even the ONE station is lost).
View 1 RepliesHad my 2015 GTI for two months now and I've been experiencing so minor issues with my stereo. Sometimes when I start the car it will reset the radio to 87.7FM which is completely static and not an actual radio station does it completely at random. Second issue that I've had is when my Ipod is plugged in it won't allow me to change the song, either from the screen or from the steering wheel. The only way to get it to work again is pulling over and restarting the car.
View 24 RepliesThe radio on my 2006 Toyota Tacoma will not stay on the station it will jump forward to static and sometimes back to the station or just jump off the station and stay till I press the button and put it back. What's up with this?
View 4 RepliesA new problem with the navigation system display on our 2010: the radio station buttons are mapping with an offset.
In other words, I press the top left preset button, and get the radio station two positions down. If I want the top left station, I must select an area well above that station on the touch screen.
Is there a way to reset the touch screen so that it maps correctly?
I got a 2011 Camry a couple of months ago with the EX Radio Bluetooth, MP3, Satellite, and more. After I got it I realized you can't see the radio station setting display in the sunlight. I took it in and found out there is no way to adjust the brightness unless it's at night with the lights on. Turning the little odometer knob adjust other things but this radio is an LCD display of whilte letters and numbers on a gray background. When the headlights are on the adjustment just makes the backlight brighter, not the lettering. Don't say turn the odometer knob, that doesn't work as I said above.
View 14 RepliesI get a very annoying high pitched electronic whine on an AM radio station that I like. It occurs all the time. Its like a grounding problem. It is so bad I can't listen to the station in my 2009 LS. Only one station, AM 810, has the issue. I don't have ML. Just a regular radio. No other radio issues.
View 10 RepliesI have no difficulty adding stations to the radio pre-select menu but how do you delete all those annoying stations that have been pre-selected and take up space? I'm getting frustrated having to thumb through all the junk just to get to the setting I like.
View 1 RepliesHaving, apparently not uncommon problem of a misaligned steering wheel -- i.e., when the wheel is horizontal, the car drives left? Two dealers have told me that there is no alignment problem (and have given me the BS "crown of the road" explanation). Perhaps this is not an alignment issue, but there's no question that the wheel must be slightly turned to get the car to drive straight, which is at best a major annoyance.
View 5 RepliesI just got my Prius Four, not IV, 2013 and the satellite radio stations are already preset. How do I delete theirs, then save my own?
View 4 RepliesIn June my Grandfather picked up a used 2010 Prius (not exactly sure what trim package it is? I think it's IV? It has heated front seats, voice activation, bluetooth, navigation, XM radio, NO sunroof though)
He honestly doesn't like the car that much, I don't think he knew about the "PWR" button that would make the gas pedal behave more like a standard throttle, but he is away on a trip right now so I am borrowing the car. I love it, and I'm going to show him the "PWR" mode when he gets back and see if that changes his opinion of the car.
ANYWAY I noticed when driving it that pressing the MAP button doesn't actually make the map display and instead changes the radio station? I did some searching and found that this may actually be a known flaw although from my searching it doesn't look like Toyota has addressed this?
I'm guessing the car is probably out of the original manufacturers warranty? Not sure if there might have been some sort of warranty from when he purchased the car pre-owned? I definitely plan to talk to him about this when he gets back because it is very annoying to not be able to switch back to the map easily. The only ways I have figured out to work around this is use the voice activation and say "show map" or to press the "DEST" button, choose a destination, and then delete that destination and then it shows the map.
2003 Ford Crown Victoria with only 49K miles. This was my great aunt's and this car sat a lot(no garage) She has passed and I need to sell but the radio won't play. CD and cassette are fine. Radio station appears on display but all I get is static. If I wiggle the wires on the back windshield I get reception sometimes but not often. I have taken wires off and cleaned terminals but that did not improve reception at all.
