    Default Any easy way of Searching for active FM channels while driving?

    I have a 2022 F3T and have watched a number of you tube videos but cannot find an easy way to search for stations.
    When traveling a distance I need to find channels which are active in the area I am in. There must be an easy way to do this.

    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    BRP changed the radio system in 2018 ..... I have a 14 RT and if I go up or down the FM dial it will stop on a stronger signal. .... I also changed the OEM antenna for a Bosche retractable Auto unit and this improved my reception about 400 % ..... Good luck >>> Mike

    From Pg 35 of user guide:
    When FM audio source is selected, the
    left and right joystick functions will be
    as follows:
    - Short Left: Previous preset
    - Long Left: Seek down
    - Short Right: Next preset
    - Long Right: Seek up

    Hope that helps.

    Does your antenna auto retract or is it not but is for automobiles and you retrofitted it to your sypder?

    Hey can you give details about the retractable antenna? Where you got, price, difficulty of install, wiring for the power etc? I'd like to have this on my 2019 RTL as a better antenna as well as avoiding issues with my cover snagging the antenna every time I cover it when its out side....
