Default What happened to my radio

I have the uconnect & utunes unit with Sat. Got in the truck today & the presets now take up 90% of the screen, just a small area to the left for the page selection. The presets used to only take 1/2 the screen with some info and tuning controls on the other half. I can't see any way to change this. The other strange thing is this morning I could not chage stations on the sat, all others worked fine but sat was stuck on a single station. After turning off the truck for an hour that part cleared up but not the screen issue.

If you are considering taking the negative battery cable off to clear it be sure to take the radio fuse out before taking of the battery cable and dont put it back in until the cables are hooked up.

Maybe that is why it is messed up in the first place.

Did you disco your battery in the past day or so?

On mine 2010 RBZ there is a "Touchscreen" button that will increase the preset page size. I want to think it is in the uppper left portion of the presets. It looks like a small square box.

I didn't disconnect the battery, I'll have to look for the touchscreen button, that sounds like it.

Well I was told there were some interesting options on the 2010 radios.

If you hit the NAV button you will see a menu screen. At the bottom you will see map, that will give you a full screen of the map. When you turn your truck off for more than 10 minutes it will revert to the 1/2 radio, 1/2 map screen.

I hope that's what you needed.

I just reread your post, just push the close info button. That should get you back to the half and half screen.

This was the answer, the button looks like part of the pages selection (to me anyway). I looked at all the hardkeys, and thought I did all the softs, but this was it.

The only reason I knew that one is I somehow accidently had it full screen and started pushing every button to figure out what I did. Glad to help.
