Faulty 'mode' button on Stereo?

Post by bascule » Tue Oct 03, 2017 10:48 pm

Anyone had this?  Or have I missed something ?!

On my X5 the mode button switches between stereo sources.  On her X3, the mode button does literally nothing.  The default is the radio, and the only way to play a CD is for it to automatically start when you insert it, and the only way to switch back is eject the CD.. and the CD changer in the armrest is powered up but we can't switch to it..

Am I being dumb?!

In better news, the Bluetooth works perfectly with her iPhone!

My mode button does as you suggested your X5 does. It cycles through the sources, I have an Aux input as a 3rd step of the cycle. No need to eject the CD, which will pickup playing from where it left off, when returning to the CD option. I'll do some research when I get some spare time.
