Sync system - Satellite Presets

[Wablackwell22]

Hey folks! Earlier this week I picked up my brand new 23 Lariat SCrew, and I'm loving it so far! One thing that is driving me nuts (and it could very well be my fault because I'm dumb) is the presets for the Satellite and the steering wheel controls. When using the steering wheel controls, I can only arrow over to 6th preset in that bank, and then it starts over again, nor does it go back to the previous bank when you arrow backwards. Sirius/XM has tons of channels, and it seems weird to limit each bank to six. I can click the center "Music/source" button on the steering wheel to switch to the next bank, but once I get to the end of the 3rd one, I then have to click it all the way through the Bluetooth source, 2 AM banks, and 2 FM banks to get back to the first satellite bank. Its really annoying, and I've never had a car that did this. Am I crazy, dumb, or doing something wrong? Or is this just how the system is designed?

It's a little clunky, but you can press the right arrow button, arrow down from AM to Sirius, and select Sirius 1 2 or 3 from there.

Thanks for the info, but I'm confused by "arrowing down" I dont have a down arrow on that side of the steering wheel, only the volume controls.

Maybe you already know, and this doesn't really address your question, but you can scroll sequentially through all SXM stations using the knob.

I have a 2019 Lariat, and there are four arrow keys surrounding the central button, so mine is not the same as yours.

Pretty sure you should press the centre button, the music note ♫. This should allow you to change the source, as the second and third rows of radio channels, satellite or FM, are sub-sources.

Yeah, I knew that the center button changed sources, but if I'm on the 3rd Satellite bank, in order to go back to the 1st bank, that button takes me through the multiple banks for bluetooth, AM and FM tuners, then finally back to the 1st of my satellite favorites.

I just swipe across the channel bank to move from the preset bank screens.

I think the only fix (if I understand correctly) is to use Forscan to flag off the AM and FM channels.

I am considering that, but I'm not sure I want to give them up in case I ever wanted public broadcasting.
