Red face How to add an FM2 to (Mark Levinson, LX570)

Suprisngly my LX570, Mark Levinson radio system doesn't has an FM2!! which is pretty odd nowadays plus the blur about RDS feature (that my previous '98 land cruiser support) and LX570 doesn't even say.

I know this is only a software issue (The FM2), so how can I program the system to have an FM2 like a normal new car?

My LX570 is with the package that has Radar Cruise-Control.

Thanks in advance.

ps I have wrote the same thread in the AV section with no luck, hopefully posting it here helps

SO when you push your FM button, what choices are toggled on your screen?

Sorry did not realise where you and your LX570 are located. In the USA we do not have SW1 and SW2 and this would be country specific. You are talking about reprogramming the ROM for your ML radio.

I would contact ML support, they have a website, they might be able to help you.

We need FM2....6 channels is simply not enough.

Do you get text display about current FM channels that shows program titles or music? (RDS).

nope, we only get the radio channel frequency. that’s it!
It doesn’t even give you the name of the station.
