My old BYD F3 has been running for almost ten years, and tuning the radio is actually quite simple. First, press the radio button on the left side of the center console to turn it on, and you'll hear a beep. Then, turn the large knob with your right hand to change stations—turning it forward increases the frequency, and turning it backward decreases it. I love fiddling with it at red lights to find music stations. If you come across a spot with a lot of static, you can briefly press the knob to manually search once, and the system will automatically find a channel with a strong signal. Press and hold any of the number buttons 1-6 for three seconds to save your favorite stations. For example, I set button 1 to the traffic radio. During my morning commute, pressing number 1 directly switches to traffic updates, which is much safer than looking down at my phone.

Just tap on the central control screen, it's extremely user-friendly. First press the Radio icon, and FM/AM options will pop up. Generally, FM offers better sound quality. For precise tuning, tap the numeric keypad in the upper right corner to directly input frequencies like 89.7. Personally, I prefer using the slider - just swipe across the frequency band on the screen to effortlessly tune to 101.1 Classic Music Station. Long-press the empty slots below to save up to six favorite stations for one-touch access next time you drive. By the way, if you encounter radio interference when playing music via USB, it might indicate contact issues with the audio wiring harness.

Three steps to tune your radio: 1. Press AM/FM to switch bands after starting the engine; 2. Rotate the physical knob to select channels while watching frequency changes on the screen; 3. When you find a preferred station, press and hold a preset button until a beep confirms the save. The F3's knob features a frosted edge that prevents slipping in rainy conditions. Saved stations can be instantly recalled by pressing corresponding number buttons next time you drive. While the steering wheel's right-side up/down buttons can also switch stations, they're easier to locate during night drives.

Just helped my elderly neighbor adjust the FM radio in his BYD F3. To store the local traffic station 103.9, first press the TUNE button on the right to enter scan mode - the head unit will automatically search for strong signals. When you find a preferred station, press and hold a numeric button for 3 seconds to save it (a red MEM indicator on the display confirms successful storage). If all preset slots are full, keep holding the numeric button until the new frequency overwrites the existing one. Pro tip: During long drives with intermittent signals, you may need to enable the AFS (Auto Frequency Search) function in system settings for automatic frequency tracking.

For beginners tuning the FM radio, remember these key points: For touchscreen models, tap FM to enter the 87.5-108MHz frequency band; for physical knob models, turn left/right while watching the screen display. When encountering signal interference, press the SEARCH button to automatically skip to a clear channel. Storing six stations is perfectly adequate—I typically save news, music, and crosstalk stations for daily use. A quick reminder: sudden loss of signal may indicate a blown fuse—check the radio fuse labeled F16 under the steering wheel’s lower left side. Also, pay attention to waterproofing around the FM antenna connector near the sunroof during rainy days, as waterlogged cables can cause frequency interference.
