Radio tuning question.

The technical side of broadcasting. Think IBOC is a sham? Talk about it here! How about HDTV? Post DX reports here as well.

Radio tuning question.

Unread post by ADD in TC »

Just bought a 2013 Ford Focus and can't figure out how to manually tune the radio.Being an extreme very compulsive button pusher, who continually goes through every spot on the dial, it's driving me nuts.I litterly had a car where my radio seek button was mostly white on both ends(worn out).

Does anyone know how to manually tune one of these Ford factory installed radios?

Glad we could help! :lol
The box that many broadcasters won’t look outside of was made in 1969 and hasn’t changed significantly since.

You have to find the manual tuning page on the screen, then push the left and right buttons. It's very annoying, and you really can't do it while driving. I would rather have a manual analog tuning knob. And seek and scan misses a lot of weak but listenable stations, and strong signals in weak signal spots. Scrolling through large numbers of presets is annoying too.
