Here's the problem. The number of saved radio stations was not being saved. After starting the machine, I had to go into the settings and adjust the number of stations.

Any idea why it’s only some cars?

I think it's related to the initial settings of the ACM and APIM blocks. In order to display the correct number of tabs, the "Number of presets" and "Mixed mode presets" settings must be consistent. This means that the owners of the Lincoln vehicles with these screens were using a different number of tabs than the machine where the Lincoln monitor was installed. Therefore, this is not a problem but rather a matter of proper configuration.

this is very interesting. My unit came off a vehicle that was wrecked in initial transport, so I assume there were no saved channels.

Mine was from the same type of source.

I don't think it matters whether you had them or not, but it's important that this setting had different meanings on your car and the broken one. You probably had several stations saved, but the new car didn't have any.

Not sure if I should start a new thread, but I went to setup my Aviator screen, the orientation refused to change. I changed the APIM settings to Lincoln and Lincoln MY20 10in, and its still messed up. Its my first time using Forscan, so I'm not sure if I'm just doing something wrong. Thanks in advance
