Make sure you tune both nav1 radiosand course on the FO side aswell

Yes, and dont forget to be sure you intercept the localizer before the glideslope then activate the second AP. ALSO be sure that both FD's are on.

Both radios/courses set, both FDs on, LOC and GS both captured, CMD B pressed above 1500 feet - those are the necessary requirements. There really is no such thing as "Cat I/II/III autoland" - the approach minimums themselves have a category, but autoland is autoland. You can do a Category III-B handflown landing with the HGS in the NG.

You need to activate the localizer 1st, then hit app when you have captured the GS, then hit CMDB
