Has anyone figured out how to see only your fav stations? I have marked several stations as favorites in SXM but I can’t see a way to only find those. Plus unless I separately save the presets the favorites don’t populate presets . If I am populating presets then why have favorites?

plus no way to scroll or change through the presets from steering wheel... the forward backward buttons change sources only ... so the only way I could figure out to change stations us to open the Audio screen and scroll through channels or select presets which is a driver distraction activity.

Am I missing something? Could not find any instructions on this at all.

Yup I got that part. But I not sure if there is steering wheel control to go through presets or channels. And not sure the purpose of favorites .. don’t see a way to access them unless you preset them into a memory.

Steering wheel controls are for presets not channels (unless there is a way to change this somewhere). There must be a setting that changes this though if your controls change source and mine only change presets.

No idea on the favorites, perhaps this will link/update favorites in the Sirius app.

The presets are unique to the user profile. If you happen to have more than one profile or are logged in as a "guest" you can't access your presets.

I am trying to figure out how to "unlearn" some presets as I only want two rows worth of presets. Even when I choose to only display two rows, it still cycles through all the rows that were set before I picked up the car.

Any ideas on that one also??

Thanks!

No. I haven't figured that one out either. I tried touching the favorite star by the channel description but that didn't do anything.

I am struggling to figure out how to program favorites into then Nav. Someone probably posted that on here already.....I need to find that search button. :)

Good point about removing extra rows.. can’t seem to remove them. Will try using individual listener profile and see if I can make some sense

I believe the Nav favs has been posted here ...I vaguely recollect something about some hidden or not mentioned steps to follow.

If you go on the SirusXM web site and log in you will see a heading for “Favorites”. Click on Favorites and it will show your presets. Next, click the preset you want to remove. It will show the preset at the bottom of the screen along with current song and artist. Also, the is a Star signifying this is a favorite. It will be dark blue. Click the Star and it will remove the preset from your favorites. I haven’t checked but I assume the preset will also be removed from your car.

On the page that says “Go,” drag up on the part beneath the map, and there is a star button, as well as other options like weather.

Thanks but there is no syncing any of this with the vehicle unfortunately.

there's a bug where you always get three rows of presets - it forgets after you restart the car. (eg https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/hey-i-have-a-car.4919/post-143809)

It only saves those when using the XM app or streaming online. It doesn't flow to your cars.

I can confirm that the steering wheel forward and back arrows will control the presets once you individualize settings under XM in Audio. If you don’t they just toggle the three audio sources . But once you go to settings and under XM set up individual profile and Save your fav stations to presets , these buttons as well as the buttons on screen will move through presets.
