FM has seemed okay when I've used it, although that has only been a couple of times and in areas where I know there is decent signal.
I tend to use android auto exclusively, and would use an app for dab if I was going to listen to the radio.
Just had a play around with the radio, it found lots of stations which I have stored no problem- it would appear the TA button is auto tune, press it and it goes blue and starts the auto tune process, when it stops on a station you want you press one of the preset buttons. It continues the auto tune process until you press the TA button again - hope this helps/makes sense
I forgot it had a radio radio
I'll hav a check and see if mine does work. I just tend to revert to DAB radio now I have sorted the DAB+ out.
I find my FM tuner to be as strong as the OE radio. Does your set keep the FM stations stored? Mine just wipes them once it's been powered off for a while.
It was keeping them but I was only switching it off for a moment, I’ll check again in the morning
Yeah, that's what mine does. But after it's been and had a longer nap, they disappear
So switched it on first thing today, all the stations were there, it then rebooted itself and they went, reset it and left it for about 5 hours, the stations are still there so will check again in the morning. Not sure I’m right about the TA is auto tune after all, looks like it might be the button on the other side instead, still working out what every button does
TA used to be Traffic Announcement....in the good ol' days
no issues as such, my stepson shares our Spotify account so midway through my inaudible metallica singing I can suddenly only hear myself... unaccompanied. So yeah, avoid giving my stepson your account details is my advice.
I'll keep it in mind!
I'll also keep them away from my daughters as well! Thanks for the tip
Yeah, pretty sure that's what mine does. I did contact the guy a few weeks back and showed him a video of what was happening and he reckoned I wasn't tuning it correctly. So I did as per his instructions, just the same.
It's very rare I'm using FM as have dab on, it's more an annoyance than anything else.
If you Google the fault, it's not uncommon an issue on some of these android units.
Apart from that, it pretty much does what it says on the tin
This is odd. I have just turned mine on for the first time since I got it a few months ago and it seems to work as expected. TA just turns blue (doesn't autotune as above) am assuming when a local traffic report occurs it will overplay whatever chammel I'm on. When I press magnifying glass ot does my autotune.
I probably wont use it though. It's not a very nice display. DAB isnt much better but I normally screen off or have android auto on with DAB radio behind.
This is the response I got on how to tune it, which doesn't actually fix the issue,
Hi Kevin,
I hope you are well.
Thank you for your email.
The reason why you're facing this issue is because you're not searching for the FM stations correctly.
Firstly, on the Radio app please tap on 'AF' which is on the right side highlighted in blue. This should no longer be highlighted in blue.
Then all you have to do is tap on the magnifying glass at the bottom and this will automatically search for stations and register them as it goes along.
Thank you

He told me to remove the blue highlight from AF, but it made no difference, can't get any FM channels but DAB works fine, so that will do me.
AF just means if you travel the country and the frequency for the station you on changes then the unit should automatically adjust to keep the strongest signal.
Not sure why the seller thinks that is linked?
