    I use the left/right button on my steering wheel control to scroll through the XM stations. I start at 2 and go through to 17. When I get to 17 and tap right one more time it goes back to 2. So I have to reach over to the radio and manually turn the scroll button to 19. I keep tapping right until I get to 44 and then it goes back to 19. I noticed that these groups (2-17 and 19-44) are groups of genres. Can you (or anyone else) tap right and go from 17 to 19 or do you have to reach over and switch to 19 manually? This kind of defeats the purpose of the steering wheel control and is very annoying when I want to just flip channels. I don't have the JBL w/nav just the regular entune plus.

    I kick my Entune and it's pos cousin navigation in the dick every time I open my door.
    I use my Bluetooth 100% of the time now.
    But in the spirit of the forum, I'll go check. Dammit.

    Interesting. My piece of shit goes from 2-17 and the next tap is channel 73, the next tap is back to 2 and the cycle continues. Just another reason for me to replace my Entune with a dead fish.
    I am sure there is an answer or programmable feature :rolleyes: but, you may of guessed I have no patience to find out.

    The steering wheel controls cycle you through the current genre of music you happen to be in. If you have presets on the HU for each of the genres you listen to then it's useful. I think 2 thru 17 are the pop music stations :eek: Sirius/XM stations are numericaly sorted by genre

    How many "station popstions" have you selected? On my head unit I can select in groups of 5 I believe ... does this make sense?

    Can't speak directly to the 17-19 thing, and don't feel like going outside to check it in my rig (knowing I'm never in the teen-channels anyway). But I regularly use the steering wheel controls to navigate throughout XM channels. Left/right button control goes up/down channel sequentially -- up/down button control goes up/down presets. If I'm somewhere in the single digits, I down button to something in the 20s, then left/right around the 20s or higher. Things I listen to are generally grouped together, and I have 1 or more presets in each of those groups.

    On my 2012 non navigation stereo the steering wheel control only sorts through my presets. it might be different for the 2015s
