Radio Question

I'm sure this is going to sound like a 'duh' question to most of the world, but if I knew the answer I wouldn't be asking. I just got my first MINI - used 2008 from my local dealer. It has the basic, no frills radio. Recently my son drove the car and when I got it back found he had changed the radio from FM to AM. Now try as I might I can't figure out how to get it back. I'm getting a little sick of Sean Hannity and some of his idiot followers. I've even checked the owners manual and still can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone please help me? Thanks, Karen

Left side there is a button labeled FM AM. Try pushing it and see what happens.

Here is the instruction card.

Not normally a good thing to say when everyone here is part of the full spectrum of political views. I'm not but one could say that Sean Hannity and his "idiot followers" may call you an idiot for know knowing how to change between AM and FM on you radio.

Radio Question

Thanks all for the help. And for what it's worth, I apologize for my Sean Hannity comment - I believe it was my frustration coming out. I'm used to having jabbing conversations with my son, the talk radio follower - our family covers the whole spectrum. Of course I have my own 'idiot moments.'

I did finally get the FM back just by pushing buttons. I don't have an 'AM/FM' button - but I've printed the instruction card so hopefully I'll be able to handle it the next time.

Thanks Suzanne - it's my 'mid-life crisis' car. And thanks for not being offended by my Hannity comment - or at least not chastising me for it. Not the first time I've had my foot in my mouth.

BTW, It's Royal Blue with Racing Stripes - Love it!
