DAB tuning, how do you get it to search for new stations?

Hi All,

Strange problem going on with my new 540i... I can't seem to get it to search for more DAB channels. All I've got at the moment are the BBC main stations (1-6 and world service). How do I force the DAB to search for more ensembles?

From other searches it seems to group them into the frequency code and automagically adds them depending on the area, but I can't find any way to force the system to do this. I've been driving around my area for a good few days now, so I would have expected it to find more stations by now

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers,

Chris

On my f10 it's automatically display the available DAB stations.

Hmmm, I know there are a lot more stations around here (Maidenhead) than the car is picking up...

It does seem to be the most obtuse DAB system I've come across.
