Radio on Sports steering wheel

Post by Zolder » Sat May 10, 2008 9:59 pm

Hello All,

Finally joined the RS4 ranks yesterday, took delivery of my new RS4 yesterday. The manual doesnt seem to outline how to use the sports steering wheel to change the channels and volume of the radio. My radio is the Navigation Plus system. Help would be very much appreciated, its wrecking my head!!

That little 'S' button is for controlling the volume.

The buttons on the RS4 steering wheel are about adjusting the car (the S button) and using the lap timer - not about playing with the radio.

Who needs a radio when you have the V8 engine and exhaust note of an RS4? :lol:

Slightly OT but my radio (or CD/MP3) is always on when i start the car even if it was off when i turned it off - is this normal? Can it be changed?
