How to adjust the radio in an old BYD F3?

In the lower left corner of the multimedia display screen, there is a MODE button next to the volume button. Press it once to switch multimedia modes (provided no USB or CD is inserted), and the radio will turn off.
Adjusting the radio on the older BYD F3 is actually quite simple. After driving this car for several years, I've summarized some practical methods. First, locate the radio panel on the center console, which usually has a power button and a rotary knob. After turning on the power, slowly rotate the knob to select stations. When you hear the desired program, stop and save the station by pressing and holding one of the number keys (1-6) for a few seconds until you hear a confirmation beep. If you can't get a signal, check if the antenna is properly connected. While driving and listening to music, I also adjust the treble and bass knobs to improve sound quality. Additionally, setting the time on the older F3 radio may require holding down the time button and using the knob to adjust. Don't rush the process; try it a few times to get the hang of it. Radio maintenance is also important—avoid letting dust accumulate. My experience is to turn it on a few times a week to prevent electronic component aging.
As a young F3 owner who enjoys playing music while driving, I find the radio adjustment super simple—just a few steps to get it done. After turning on the power, I often use the Scan button to automatically search for stations, and the radio switches frequencies on its own. When I find a good station, I quickly store it by holding a preset button for a few seconds. Sound quality can be adjusted higher or lower using the Bass and Treble knobs on the panel. If the signal is poor, I try changing the car's direction. For setting the time, older models might have a Time button—press and hold it, then adjust with the knob. I recommend beginners start storing stations from preset 1 and gradually add their favorites. Avoid pressing the buttons too hard during the process, as they can break easily. Occasionally clean the panel to prevent stuck buttons.
