Help needed with 2024 R1250RT Radio

[jlatham39]

I just bought a new 2024 R1250RT and hope you guys will be patient with me. I have been reading the manual and its confusing in some areas.  First, I am simply trying to set my favorites on the radio to where when playing the radio, I see the station on the screen and can just push the selector wheel to right to change stations up and down my favorites.  After reading and trying what the manual says, I could set a station in the HD slot.  Then when I try to set a second one, it keeps putting it in the same slot.  I have tried to find a video for the 2024 RT on youtube, but cannot find one on the 2024. Can anyone either refer me to a video or tell me the proper procedure.  Older biker coming off a 2018 goldwing and it seems much simpler.  Thanking you in advance.

You can try and search from '21 on, as the new radio was introduced with the 10.25" screen upgrade late 2020, early 2021. Can't help with your question, I don't use radio at all.

I have not set any favorite radio stations on my 23 R1250RT. But I do remember that their are detailed instructions in the owners guide that you should have received with the purchase of your bike.

If not you can download a PDF version from BMW Motorcycle of NA website.

I have a new 2024 R1250RT and I have set many radio and satellite favorites.  Its not very intuitive but as Bernie says, follow the instruction in the owners manual.  Once you set a few stations as favorites you will see how easy it is and you will be an expert.

I have a 22R1250RT, and couldn't find how to select a saved/favorite station.  Now that y'all got me to read the directions I got it - Thank You!  Favorites wasn't displayed in my source until I scrolled up, yep I'm shaking my head.  I still don't like this method but it beats toggling up or down a 100 stations.
