AST/DIR

Does anyone know what the AST/DIR buttons on the stock cd player in our aveos are for? sorry i lost my manual otherwise id look it up myself. i assume its for when u play mp3 files but i have done this and pressed the buttons but nothing happens. im just curious is all.

Stress RELIEVING BUTTONS! (For when you just wanna push back)
Just kidding.... UMMMM...*goes to research it*...

Taken directly from the manual from my 07 sedan:

AST (Automatic Store): Six FM1 preset stations with the strongest reception in the region can be atomatically stored. Press the AST button for longer than one second. The display will show AUTO SCANNING and then SCANNING will flash on display. Once the stations are stored, the radio will switch to FM1 and the first preset station will begin to play. FM-A will appear on the display when listening to the automatic stored stations. Press the AM or FM button to cancel automatic store.

As for DIR, I don't have that button. Damn basic radio. But the manual says the following in regards to that button.

DIR (Directory): Press this button to repeat the tracks in the current directory. DIR appears on the display.

Press this button again to repeat the tracks in all of the directories. ALL appears on the display.

Press this button again to turn off repeat play.

Hope this was of some help.

AST? DIR?

Sorry those acronyms do not make sense to me...

It might be because I got rid of the sh*tty stock player right after I bought my car. Sorry :)
