OK, I finally found the thing that ticks me off a little bit. I know we’re talking first world problems here, but I can’t believe how few slots there are available for favorite stations. Unless I’m doing something wrong, but in my Land Cruiser I could pretty much save all the radio stations and the SiriusXM stations that I listen to and be able to scan through each one by one. Yes I know I’m old school, but I still listen to the radio and SiriusXM. I can’t seem to figure out any other way, especially for SiriusXM to use the steering wheel buttons to change channels one by one up or down. You can hold it down for a few seconds and it’ll scan, but I don’t want that. I know you can scan one by one through favorites, but like I said there’s not enough slots to hold all the channels that I need. I want to be able to go up or down one channel at a time. Am I crazy or stupid or is this not an option?
 
You're not crazy or stupid, just trying to keep using your tapes when cd's have gone out of style :)
What can I say? I like to flip through the channels old school style. And yeah, I can’t seem to get the CD player to work either. 😉

I’m in your camp on old school XM usage.
I also wish there were more favorites to save.
I do drive a number of vehicles regularly of different models and makes. The lack of ability to use steering wheel controls to cycle through channels vs cycling theough favorites is a common gap across all.
Could be worse, I borrowed a brand new Honda Passport the other week and they no. Longer have XM available in the vehicle. You have to use the XM app which sucks foe changing channels.
