Default Radio Display Issue

Newbie here with my first question. I recently purchased a 2019 Grand Sport. One issue I've spotted is that the radio display seems to be squeezed into the upper half of the screen. I thought it might be because it was set to display so many presets. I tried reducing the number to just one row, but that just results in a vacant area at the bottom of the screen and the radio information is still in the top half. It doesn't, by the way, display properly either. There is overlap in the displayed information providing for a confusing display. Been trying to figure it out myself before taking it to a dealer and thought I would see if anyone here had a similar experience. Thanks for any input.

John

It's been a while but I believe I recall a way to "line up" your screen by pressing the 4 corners in some kind of alignment procedure. I thought I saw this in the owner's manual.

Found it in the INFOtainment book
Display
Mode: Press Mode to change the
screen background. This setting
controls map colors.
. The Auto setting adjusts the
screen background automatically
depending on the exterior
lighting conditions.
. The Day setting brightens the
map background.
. The Night setting darkens the
map background.
Calibrate Touchscreen: Press to
display the Touchscreen Calibration
Screen.
Turn Display Off: Press to turn the
Display option off.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I did recalibrate the display, which did not change anything. I also tried swiping down again. I had previously tried that, however, it seems the display may be a bit choosing about where you swipe and how hard. I did get a result this time. It is quite a bit better now, although for me the preset "button" still take up a lot of room. I don't use many, so it seems that as long as I limit the number displayed to 5 I get the best result. It would be nice if they were more configurable or if they could be hidden entirely. Thanks again to all.

Mine is acting weird too. Did you ever resolve? Mine is doing the same thing mentioned in other threads.

The following of the above suggestion in a sort of way worked. "pressing the 4 corners in some kind of alignment procedure." Only I only held down the two points, upper right and lower left at the same time and it reset it back to normal.
The 2 dots in red illustrate where I pressed.

GTRSOLO,

It's not a calibration issue. As I noted in my last post, you have to touch the screen in the area just where the preset buttons meet the main screen and swipe down. This moves the row of preset buttons to the bottom of the screen. It takes some practice as if you press too hard, or on one of the buttons, you'll just end up pushing a button. Good luck.
