First-time owner - help with radio please

Any ideas:-
What is AS? (top right)
Is TA the traffic announcement?
Is there a way of making it stick to a station and auto-find the strongest signal?
Is there a clock function on this model?
If I find a station I like and just hold down a pre-set number, should it then be saved under that number (It doesn't seem to want to do this)
I'm guessing this is code protected, but don't know and don't have a code.
Really appreciate your help.

AS is auto store press and hold for 2 secs or longer and the station is stored to your preset channel eg 1 etc.
If you have a disp button (top right) press until you get a clock display then adjust the up/down arrows for time.
TA is indeed traffic announcement.
AF alternative frequency. If you switch this on (should say AF on the display) this should change to a stronger frequency if available from that station(all this is only on FM)

Many thanks gilburton - all helpful.

Is this the manual you are after. I can't let you have the manual as I want to sell the unit (and the manual goes with it)

I can have a look when I get home to see how many pages are in English and get you a copy. Whereabouts in the world are you?

I will message you - thanks

Any success with the buttons??

I only wish I had the time to look! Work week from hell and no chance to play with the Jimny when I get home. But, the weekend is nearly here and I will be pressing buttons all over the place

Just want to say a big thanks to everyone who has helped. Finally got to spend some time in the Jimny today and pressed all the buttons - if you know what I mean! Think I have sorted it but a tad disappointed that my radio doesn't have a disp button and therefore no clock. There you go, can't have everything!
Still fades in a bit, but I think that is an aerial issue and when I have some pennies I think I will replace both the radio (really want a clock!) and the aerial but these things will have to wait.
Anyway - as a newbie and not very technically minded, just want to say thanks to everyone here for being so helpul

Note that the Jimny has a non standard double din surround limiting your choice of alternatives.
There are posts on here about this!!

Yes I came across this today when I wanted to get the radio out and ended up taking off the complete front including clock and ciggy lighter socket. But mine has a Pioneer radio fitted even so and that is fairly common sizing or is it??

I have read that there are problems replacing the radio - saw a few threads about it.
To be honest, I can't afford to change it anyway but as and whe I can I will be asking for help, that's for sure.
I hope I've posted a pic of the rubbish radio in my Jimny-and a rubbish picture of the Jimny to go with it.

Ooooh yes, that's very different from my dash.

Hi flatfendweller. Your radio looks the same as the one taken out of my new Jimny. I changed mine because I wanted one with iPod / sd card reader. Before I changed it my other half changed the speakers ( they were rubbish). After the speakers were changed the sound difference was amazing. So it's not the unit, it's the speakers that are poor. I have seen better ones in an old 60's transistor radio!

Before giving up try a set of new speakers.

By the way your Jimny looks good.
