Default Can you manually tune the radio

As I was driving home from golf yesterday I tried to get a radio station that was not strong enough to stop at during scan. Looking at the OM last night I did not see a way to do a manual scan to a specific station number. Is there a way to do this so I can set a weak station into memory. I set the FM1 station in our local area but when I go upstate or downstate I want to set specific stations to the area on the FM2 setting.

I have the same problem and have never figured out how to "direct tune" a radio station. Hopefully someone here knows, as I do not. My scan skips over weaker stations that I want to listen too, but can't get.

Press & hold the seek buttons (up or down), rather than just tapping them. That switches the system to manual tuning temporarily (you'll see "Manual" appear instead of "Seek" at the top of the display)

Your knowledge about Jaguars is awesome. You are always helpful to myself and so many others here. Thank you again and again.

My pleasure - but I don't keep all this stuff in my head! I'm just good at researching.
