when I auto tune the dab radio I only get about 6 channels ,but the dab radio in the house gives me about 40.

Plenty up here in Scotland. Is the FL2 in an area where DAB reception is good when you are trying to tune it eg. not in a narrow street or surrounded by buildings?

I've got 18 stored on my one, its a 13MY though. I had to play around with the settings on mine before it would pick up all the stations, when I first got the car it would only pick up the BBC stations. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I am going to get this the wrong way round I am sure, but my memory says that you perhaps have to be tuned away from DAB for the dab menu to be open. i.e. be on FM. I had the same issue and I got round it by fiddling!

Don't you love a really concise thought out answer! Never tell me the odds.

The padlock appears when the vehicle is moving. Also stops you adjusting phonebooks etc on bluetooth. You shouldn't have to switch off engine. Fuji White MY13 SD4 Dynamic
