Default XM Radio

Hello to All,

My 2010 RX 350 has an xm radio with only 3 "Tracks" I use "Track" 1 for news, "Track" 2 for talk radio, and "Track" 3 for comedy. Is it possible to add a 4th "Track?" if so how?

Thanks

No, you have only 3 Sat "tracks" (or preset group pages on a Nav system) that each hold 6 preset channels.

Thanks Andy. How do I preset the channels? My radio does not have numbered buttons and the manual is not clear.
Thanks

Hmm, I assumed you had the non-navigation system, but as far as I know, only the nav-equipped version has no preset number buttons on the dash. On the navigation system, you can switch between the "tab pages" for each group of presets by clicking on the "Sat" tab in the Audio screen (same effect as pushing the Sat button on the dash).

You should then see a screen of 6 boxes for each preset. Tune to the channel you want to save, and then click and hold the box you want to save the channel to until the system responds with a "bing" noise. Same idea as holding a preset button down on vehicles with radio preset buttons. The channel should now be saved and can be selected in the future just with a short click. With the 3 tab pages, you can store 18 presets.

If you don't have a nav system, then, well, very odd indeed if you don't have preset buttons.

Thanks for the info Andy. I figured it out by "Trial and Error"
