    Hi Guys:

    Does anyone know if you can scroll channels of XM from the steering wheel? I know that you can scroll to the presets...but what if you want to go from channel 100 to 101 to 102, etc.. ? We have another car with Sirius that you can manually scroll from the wheel. It is much easier to use the steering wheel then grab the little tune knob....or maybe it is just beacuse of my oversized fingers.

    Thankssssssssssssssssssssss!
    Dave.

    I don't know if there is any way to move from one channel to the next using steering wheel controls. I use the steering wheel controls to move between the presets and the knob for channel-to-channel navigation.

    The integrated Sirius tuner (SiriusConnect by Directed Electronics) works the same way.....no channel to channel with the up/down key on the steering wheel....only preset to preset.
    Add it to the wish list for future generation sat tuners:
    1.) Fix the text display so that all characters broadcast can be displayed (by wrapping or scrolling).
    2.) Add a keypad screen so you can manually punch in a channel number.
    3.) Change up/down keys on steering wheel to allow channel up/down or preset up/down.

    End rant.....

    What happens when you push and hold the up or down arrow key? For CDs that switches disks rather than just switching tracks. Worth a try.

    You have to use the knob.
