    When I turn the radio on and begin exploring its features, I can create my favorites (List) and use the direct tuning interface to find a specific station. Shouldn't I be able to spin the rightmost dial to the left and right and select a particular station? As I turn the dial, the FM station frequencies would be displayed as I move up and down the radio spectrum. I must be missing something. Thanks for your help.

    I will look this weekend. Must admit, I've never used the radio. Solely Spotify, a USB stick (max size 32G) or wired iPod.

    Hello ronc123 -- I checked the radio turning on my 2018 488 and it works just as you would expect. Right hand dial will allow you to select higher and lower number stations. Once selected, that station plays. I did find that the cursor must be on the List icon -- if you go to the left or right of that, it selects Favorites or the Most Powerful Station. First time I used that knob! Good luck to you.

    Congratulations. (Should you try to use the USB connector, I found you can connect an iPod of unlimited size but a thumb drive has a max size of 32G. Why the difference, no one can say.)
