    The Scan button on my XM on my Prius V does not work as intended. When i press it, it scans sequentially to the next 6 or 7 stations, but then goes back to lower numbered stations, and then repeats the cycle over.
    How can i get the Scan to work like on the FM station, so it scans sequentially from channel 0 to 280 in one shot.

    There are two (maybe three?) ways to use scan.

    From the owners manual:

    To scan all the frequencies: Touch
    “SCAN†on the screen briefly. “SCAN†appears
    on the screen. The radio will find the
    next station and stay there for a few seconds,
    and then scan again. To select a
    station, touch “SCAN†again.

    To scan the preset stations: Touch
    “SCAN†on the screen for longer than a
    second. “P. SCAN†appears on the screen.
    The radio will tune in the next preset station,
    stay there for a few seconds, and then
    move to the next preset station. To select
    a station, touch “SCAN†again.

    In addition, I believe that the XM scan function only scans within the category of stations you have selected. If you are in 'rock', then scan only scans the rock stations.
