    I tried google and didn't see anything. I got this truck last night it has got the entune radio. Trd sport. Everytime I hit the up or down it changes sources and not stations. Please help. Thanks.

    I know if you hold it down it changes stations, but at a very fast pace.

    I wanna be able to change stations easily.

    Dude, chill out. Lol

    I read the manual part about steering wheel audio controls. It doesn't say how to change this setting where I'm looking.

    So if you want to help, by all means please, but don't just hound someone looking for guidance. Maybe tell me what part of manual to look in.

    It will change sources unless you program stations 1-30etc. If no stations are saved it will not work.

    To save a station select your station and hold the position you want it :ie,1-30
    A message will pop up saying save station YES/NO. Select yes and carry on.
    Once stations are set the steering wheel control will work. You can also save xm satelite stations the same way.

    So there's no way to just use the radio for tuning let's say on vacation on fm stations or you know maybe I want to listen to a news report one time in my life on the radio.

    There's no way to seek on the steering wheel. It's just presets. Aggravating, but I'll get used to it. Thanks for the help.

    Except the turn the knob, the point of steering wheel controls is to keep you from taking wheels off of steering wheel.

    Wheels typically don't come off steering wheels.

    Did you get it? Seriously just take your time with the manual. Can't hurt. Have a cup of coffee and read.

    Yeah, I read the multimedia manual and owners manual. Neither mentioned a feature of switching from presets to a seek option.

    It's cool, I realize how it works. It's just new and different than the car I'm coming from. All in all love the truck as it is, just missing some things my TDI it's replacing had.

    The "read your manual" wannabe patrol hits again. Give it up!

    Press and hold on the up or down button until it beeps, it should scan that way.
