I could not find a post on this subject, Does anyone know what the AMS button on my factory ford stereo does? When I press it the screen says "Tune" but I cant get anything to change. This has perplexed me for awhile. Thanks

It changes the "Seek" buttons to become "Tune" buttons temporarily. (Instead of searching for just a strong signal, you can fine-tune to a particular station that doesn't have a strong signal.)

Press "AMS", then press seek up or down to see what I'm talking about.

I never knew it had anything to do with the tape deck .. haha ...

As per my post above, my family and I have had four cars with four different renditions of this tape deck (my PGT and my dad's '93 Taurus had the electronic eject; my Contour and my dad's '98 Windstar had manual eject, etc) and all of them used Seek-to-Tune when pressing AMS.

I wish I had known this when I used the tape decks; it would have made skipping songs a whole lot easier

Ahh! Thanks for the Info Guys! I love the community here. Considering I havent listened to a tape is ohh? 10 years? I guess it makes sense why I have no idea it worked on the tape. The AMS for fine tuning radio is great bit of info Thanks "98 SE"
