Serial number: 46126548

GAL 5
F15 Q15 0000
DSP: 0
TP Volume: 0
Area: set on OCE but I can also choose Jpn, USA & Canada
AF: MAN

For your info:
GAL 5 = speed dependent volume setting
F15 Q15 0000 = FM signal strength 15 (max), RDS quality 15 (max)
DSP: 0 = no DSP detected (fitted) to vehicle
TP Volume: 0 = Traffic Announcement volume set to 0
Area = Area, eg OCE
AF: MAN = RDS alternative frequency mode, I normally set to Auto.

If you are set to OCE but still tune in 10kHz steps then do this:

1. Set to Japan. Switch off and turn key off. Turn back on, check that Japan is OK (FM 76-90, AM 9kHz steps)

2. Now set to OCE. Switch off and turn key off. Turn back on, check that OCE is OK (FM 88-108, AM 9kHz steps)

Maybe a focred change to non-OCE, and then a change back will convince the radio to set itself correctly.

if this doesn't work, then the radio is faulty. It is not storing its settings properly. Get it exchanged.

I gave this a go today and it worked, it now scans in multiples of 9 instead of 10. My local dealer told me that this wasn't possible and another local M3 owner had the same problem.

Also how do you change the AF from manual to auto? Mine didn't seem to want to change.

Thanks
