I have a 2022 vRS which i've had a few months now. I've just noticed though that there doesn't seem to be a way that I can find to re-scan for new DAB stations? or add them manually? On my wife's Fabia, (and also on my previous Superb), you press a button on the touchscreen and the HU rescans for DAB stations adding anything that's new or changing anything that's had a name change.  It's especially useful before and after Christmas when there are usually a couple of seasonal DAB stations that run over the Christmas period etc.....

 

Am I just missing something or does the infotainment automatically scan the DAB frequencies each time you start the car and therefore not need a button to do it again?

 

 

Nope, you're not missing anything and I have the opposite problem in that I want to delete a whole load of rubbish from foreign stations, London stations etc

You should be able to add stations by selecting the 'favourites' button indicated by a star.  And the infotainment system should remember then whenever you start the car again.

It's just a case of sitting in the car and 'playing about with things' until you can work out how the system works.  That's what I did.

I'm not talking about adding them as favourites though I've already done that. I'm talking about when a new DAB station starts broadcasting or when a station changes name etc......... In previous cars you pressed a button to scan the DAB frequencies to search for new or renamed stations. (The same as you would on your DAB radio in your home but it's usually called autotune etc.... on those). So am I right in thinking the Infotainment scans/autotunes the DAB frequencies every time you start the car?

 

So for the example I gave....... In November when Heart Radio add the Heart XMas DAB radio station will the Infotainment automatically add it to the available stations and if not then how do I do it myself as I do in our other car?

You need to do a new search for DAB stations and then pick it from the updated list, it won't add it automatically.

LOL....... But that's what I'm asking, how do you get it to search for new DAB stations...... I can't find the button to do it.  😉 On other Skoda cars it's on the same screen as the list of current DAB stations (Not favourites just the station list) but I don't have it on my station list on the Infotainment so where is that button or how do you get it to search for new DAB stations?

It could be that it's doing it automatically.  I know my FreeSat set-top box does so, so the technology and necessary thought processes of the engineers is all in place for it to happen.
