Default SiriusXM channel issue revisted

Thought I would start a new thread just to help clarify my question, really trying to understand why a system that literally say in their Documentation one of the most advanced audio systems in a vehicle. To paraphrase.
i’ll also attempted to illustrate with some pictures if I can post. Just wondering why on the presets page you can actually choose how many presents from 36 down to like six. But as they are stored the XM stations only displayed channel number no name. This is in The preset list. Not the actual channel information displayed on the main portion of the display. I could understand if they said there is not enough room to put that information but this simply is not true. Because as you can see if you go to the other page where it is shown by category the same size icon or tab , Tab does actually display the channel name. Unfortunately it takes several button presses just to get to this page and then only places them either in Channel order or genre order.



Channel name on right side


To me this is clearly a software programming oversight and a fixable issue. Its just does Lexus care to address it.

Just a guess but maybe it has to do with having to scan all the preset stations to get the names? Maybe that would just slow down the system too much?

Or maybe it's because the presets list is from all sources(XM, AM, FM) whereas the Station List appears to just be XM? What happens if you change your presets to only include XM stations? Remove the 102.5 FM (and any other FM or AM) you have in spot #2.

Just guessing. I really don't know. Personally I only listen to like 15 XM stations and I know what all of them are so I don't care that much but it would be nice.

New to the 2019 ES radio, all the XMSirius stations that you preset are being recorded (note the "clock" icon).
When you channel surf into an Satellite channel that you have a preset for and missed 1/2 a song or discussion
you can "rewind" and get back earlier material.

yes that is correct and works well. Its for up to 20 of the poss 36 presets.
By the way Thanks Jimv did try with out fm preset still same thing.
Additionaly , want to say there are many things i love about system as well as the info it provides on the HUD.
I also have become quite comfortable and even really like the touch pad and really find it easy and intuitive once you get used to using it.
There are plenty on s hort cut and buttons to get you quickly to the most used things. At least for me.
