HELP....Radio "service" mode settings and functions
From reading previous posts in this section, I have been able to put my radio (2004, X5, 3.0) in the "Service" mode.
Can someone give me an explanation of what the varied settings in this mode are for and what the factory defaults are.. I read out in order on the NAV screen in the service mode: Serial Number = 41626046 Software = 18-03 88 GAL = 5 FM (varied station info) DSP = 0 (no dsp in vehicle) TP Volume = 0 Area = is obviously country AF = Man My concern is GAL, AF and TP, what do they do and how do I set them. I beleive GAL is for sound ambient level sensing for the radio volume but don't know which way to adjust +/- =??. TP, AF???? Another qusetion is can the radio be programed to stay in a particuler search mode, or manual tune mode. When I select these I can "search sensitive" with the < > keys as long as I'm actively searching but then it defaults to the station up / down mode, same with manual tuning. I can manual tune for as long as I turn the knob but stop to listen for 10 seconds and it defaluts. This a pain in the A.. on a trip, try dialing around to find a RED SOX game. I've read the book and am either missing something (aka: stupid), this is normal, or theres something wrong with the radio module. Help appreciated...... |
Displays the radio serial number. Software Version: Displays the radio software version (Calendar week/Year/Version). GAL: Speed sensitive volume control. The speed sensitive volume control can be adjusted from level 1-6 using the 6 preset audio buttons. Radio volume increases more at level 6 and less at level 1 (road speed dependent). Vehicles equipped with DSP do not use this feature. Field Strength & Quality (F/Q) : The station currently displayed can be assessed for field strength and quality. An 'F' number (i.e. 1-15) is used to indicate the strength of the signal being received by the radio. A high 'F' number indicates a strong signal. A 'Q' number (i.e. 1-15) is used to determine the quality of the radio station broadcast including both the audio and RDS signal if applicable. DSP : Digital Sound Processor This function provides information about whether or not the vehicle is fitted with DSP. (1=Yes, 0=NO) TP Volume : Traffic Patrol Provides adjustment for traffic report minimum value. On some vehicles this setting can affect the NAV volume. Refer to Service Bulletin B84 02 03. AF : Alternative frequency tracking setting. Not used in US. Area : Used to select the appropriate market setting (USA, Canada, Europe, Japan or Oceania). Index : Displays the revision index. |
