While I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my LC500, I've been watching reviews on youtube. A few reviewers are claiming that you can't change radio stations while driving. This can't be true...right? That sounds crazy!

Here's one below. He mentions it a few times throughout the video.
@ the 7:05 mark and @ 9:20

 

Yes you can, several different ways.

 

The trackpad / infotainment gripes about this car are overblown. They minimized the physical buttons to keep the interior clean and stylish, but this does mean that they moved many functions into the navigation unit that you need the trackpad to access. The most misunderstood of those being Climate Concierge, where you just set the one temp and the car figures out the rest. It really works.

Could it be better? Absolutely. My wife is letting me upgrade from a '21 to a '24 because she wants the touchscreen. But it's one thing for Youtubers to complain about on an otherwise amazing car.

 

Program your preset radio stations and use the steering wheel button to change them. No different than any other car.

 

Can you change the stations via the trackpad on the infotainment screen? Is that what the reviewers are complaining about?

 

what the hell is a radio station? i keed.
reviewers often don't take the time to learn much of anything about the infotainment.
you can certainly change stations and bands from the steering wheel (easiest) or i think the screen too.

 

Yes, you can change stations from the screen too. Just highlight the presets and flick up or down on the trackpad. Again, very easy.

 

If you've got the radio on, then you can also change station by simply pressing the "SEEK TRACK" switch on the centre console. You might be going in blind, but at least you can rapidly change station.

 

You can also push down on your volume control button to select AM, FM, CD, or Sirius.
