Difficulty setting the radio presets?

The pre-sets seem impossible.

Huh?

Can someone confirm 3 things for me:
1. 6 rows of Sirius do not hold and reset back to 3/default.
2. Audio settings for treble, bass and midrange default back to factory settings.
3. occasionally key not found message when I have my phone connected to the Mache through Bluetooth and Appleplay.
lastly, I always have to confirm on my phone that I’m not driving

Confirmed (except the last one).

I got around #2 by turning Personal Profiles OFF. Seems to be a problem with profiles not fully loading when starting the car. Turning them off just leaves all such settings where they last were (meaning they just stay that way and don't revert back).

If you still want multiple profiles, you can also force them to reload by use of the 1-2-3 door buttons. If your profile (including audio settings) is tied to door code #1, you can manually switch away from it (hit #2 or #3), then back to #1.

the skip forward and back function cycles through a bunch of stations I’ve no interest in. I wish I could delete them. I’ve had Sirius in my cars since 2007. This is the worst interface I’ve ever seen. Is there a way to clear memory?

I agree! You damn sure don’t do anything when driving. My only complaint on my Mach e is the cluster f**k interface screen

What’s kind of crazy, is that even though i have 6 rows of presets programmed, if you use the next preset channel it only goes thru the rows you can see, would be nice if it went thru all them Even if it only shows 1 row on the screen.

I've got 3 rows set on mine. The Next/Prev buttons on the steering wheel rotate through all 3 lines (15 stations) just as expected. Including looping around from #15 to #1 at the end.

I have Personal Profiles turned OFF though. The radio presets are one of the many things that didn't always load right with Personal Profiles turned ON.

The quirk I still get maybe 25% of the time when starting the car is SXM starting up on the Preview channel instead of where I left it off, as though it didn't verify my subscription initially. But then I change the channel and it's fine. My guess it's one of the many timing issues with Sync4. A lot of the quirky issues appear to me as though the timing on the boot sequence isn't always working right, i.e. feedback from some modules is coming too slowly and missing their Sync4 boot sequence timing. (Like in this case, the module confirming my SXM subscription not returning the "subscribed" feedback before Sync4 tries to turn on 70's on 7.)

Same way with so many of the settings (like audio FADE) that commonly fail to load in time when Personal Profiles is turned on. Just my guess anyway.

I choose to listen to online radio.

Tune to the station you want and then hold in the preset location you want to save it to.

Thank you!! I was having difficulty figuring this out. Too bad it's not in the manual.

I really had tremendous difficulty with this and unable to read the 100+ music files on my USB 16gB flash stick ... until they did CSP 21P22 this past week and miraculously everything just fell into place ...even the Dynamic Cruise warning is different now !!! I can read all my 100+ music files now !!!

How do I create more presets? I had several and now I have less than half.
