We finally got our i3 last night! It will be my wife's car, and since I'm the "technical" one in the family (even though she has a PhD in biology) I was setting it up for her, including programming her favorite stations as radio presets. The car has professional navigation and should have up-to-date firmware since it was a factory order. When I created the presets, the car used whatever text was displaying from the station's RDS feed as the preset station name, e.g. one of the presets ended up with the name "hello".
If I selected a preset and pressed the "Option" button I was sometimes given the option of choosing something else from the RDS feed as a name, so for one preset I was able to change its name to "on KUNC", which at least contains the call sign. Is there some way edit the preset names similar to editing profile names? Or at least end up with the call signs as the names? The list of stations displayed under Radio->FM has the call signs (mostly). Would exporting her profile to a USB stick give me an XML file I could edit and then re-import?
