Radio - Scrolling Through Favourites

Radio - Scrolling Through Favourites - Hi Folks, Is it possible to scroll through my DAB Radio station favourites with the LH steering wheel control, as opposed to scrolling through every flaming station?

I haven't found a way yet. It's the flaky Chinese infotainment software, you can't even scroll through folders on a USB drive, it's rubbish but the rest of the car is great.

Thank you Peter. I'm glad it wasn't just me!

Mg4 owner here searching for similar question so looks like same across the board. Slightly annoying that the favourites are to the far left of screen so its slightly more awkward to change between favourites too!

Indeed! I think we will just have to live with it. Otherwise, I love the car!

I have the latest model with firmware SWI17 and I am perplexed about how useless is the favorite DAB radio option, unable to switch to next favorite station using the steering wheel controls.

At least in UK there are probably hundreds of useless DAB stations so next/prev is of no use, you want to navigate only through the favs… but apparently it does not work.

Even on my previous 10y old outlander phev, the next/prev buttons where defaulting to favorite list and triggering the full list only on long presses.

Clearly fixing it in software would be easy but I am afraid that nobody reads the forums…

And the worst thing about it is the stations list, whether favourites or not. A panel of identical grey oblongs with 3mm high lighter grey text showing......the multiplex name! Why??? Underneath that is the actual station name in 1mm high light grey text. I can only imagine the person who designed it has never tried to use it while driving. I would have said how did it get past the QA department, but it seems they don't have one.
I'm sure I saw a post on this forum somewhere which said they had actual station icons which would have made it easier but I've never seen them.
