Default 991.2 radio station preset question

Anyone else have the following problem? Radio station presets selected/stored and show up normally on the PCM screen. On my Macan, if I use the right side wheel on the MF steering wheel, I can select from my presets that display on the small circular screen on the driver's dash. On my new C4, if I try to select a radio station using the right wheel on the steering wheel, every station in Chicago shows up on the list, not just the presets. I'm told by the dealership that Porsche knows about the flaw and will hopefully correct it in the future.
If you haven't used the system that works correctly in another vehicle, you may not even realize that it's a problem. Alternatively, maybe it's just my car. Any feedback?

I'd say the dealer has the correct answer for you.

I hope they also expand the # of allowed presets to more than 15.

I can't speak to the multifunction steering wheel, or the 991.2, but on my 2015 991 GTS, i have the option of selecting whether I want all stations, or just my presets, to show up when in the audio mode of the multifunction display on the dash. Is it possible you have this functionality on your car?

I just checked. Couldn't find it. Thanks for the responses.

mb1--was this resolved? I have the same problem. Page 290 of the owners manual clearly provides instructions for doing this but the MFD does not have the feature.

No, it hasn't been resolved. I'm hoping that a solution will be part of a Porsche software upgrade in the future

My 2015 991.1 has the same flaw. It's frustrating to have to take my eyes off the road just to switch to my next favorite radio station. I doubt Porsche is planning on fixing this. It's been this way a couple of years.

The odd thing is that they did it right in my '15 Macan.

I have this problem also on my 991.1. My Panamera works as it should but not the 991. Changing from FM1 to FM2 to FM3 is ridiculously cumbersome.
