• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

On the left side of the steering wheel, you can switch between audio inputs, radio/Sirius etc. Then if you want to change stations you have to hold the toggle switch up and down. If you push it just once, it toggles to a different input. This is super annoying and as I'm skimming through channels I end up switching to a different input more often than not.

Can I fix this? I find the mode button adequate, I'd like to be able to use the toggle just to flip one channel at a time. I don't need 2 separate input buttons.

The up/down toggle on the left side will go to the next or previous saved preset if flipped quickly, and will seek to the next available station if held. If you find yourself flipping to a different input, you must be accidentally hitting the mode button.

Also note that when you go through your presets (one quick flip of the toggle), they’re ordered FM > AM > satellite, so you may be perceiving flipping through your presets as changing modes, depending on how many or few presets you have.

Yeah I'm certain that I'm not bumping the mode button. However, since I don't have anything saved as preset, maybe the default is to hop inputs? Otherwise factory presets are the lowest station on each input. Guess I'll have to set them up.
