Default steering wheel controls problem

i have a stupid question. i just got my new 2008 audi a4 and im having a problem, when using the fm tuner the left scroll wheel does not change to next preset. instead when rolling the wheel, it simply scans for the next station. is there something im doing wrong?

Default Re: 'scan button' ?

if you mean pressing the dial on the head unit itself, all that does for me is begin auto scannin for all stations i think. it has no effect on my steering wheel controls.

Default do you have nav? iirc without nav, that is the only option with the steering wheel controls

just to scan to the next station. i have the nav, so i have to set it to my presets on the screen and then i can scroll through them.

Default problem seems to stem from being a 2008 model

from what i've read in audiforums.com, it appears to be a problem in 2008. any '08 owners can confirm this or am i just retarded....
