Cassidym, thanks for the info.

Couple of questions for you and other E60 owners:

1. Do you have "Autostore" available for FM frequencies? This option no longer exists after my software upgrade. Autostore should appear next to:

"MANUAL PRESETS ALL STATIONS"

in the FM subfunction list.

2. Do you have RDS (radio data system) which displays station Ids such as KROK, KBAY, etc.? This feature also appears to have been removed. There is no on/off switch for RDS; when displaying all stations, the Ids are automatically displayed if your firmware supports RDS.

3. Can you play MP3 CDs? If you browse the owner's manual you will see screenshots illustrating the operation of MP3 playlists.

1. The 2005 owner's manual shows autostore but I haven't noticed it. I've mostly been using the Satellite radio
2 Apparently it doesn not have RDS. There is no reference to it in the owner's manual and I can't find it on the radio. The satellite service does have RDS and it works very well and is surprisingly timely. For example, when a song comes on, the screen almost immediately shows the title and artist. When the song stops and the disc jockey starts talking, the DJs quickly appears on the screen.
3. No mention in the manual about MP3
