bination of vehicle/infotainment system.
There is also a dynamic calibration that takes
into consideration the volume level, radio
reception, and the speed of the vehicle.

of the stations currently being received,

•If the signal from the currently tuned
station is weak, this may prevent the
radio from updating the list of stations.
