Default XM Controls

I was wondering if its possible to scan the channels 1 by 1 using the steering wheel controls. At the moment the steering wheel will only let me cycle through my presets but I know with a lot of other xm radios there is a 'direct mode' and a 'preset mode'. It probably won't matter once I'm more familiar with the channels have all my presets arranged, but yeah, is there any way to go up channel by channel with the wheel?

thnx.

Not that I know of. I only listen to a few channels regularly so my presets are all I need.

I just installed XM in my car a couple of weeks ago as well and was trying to figure this out as well. As far as I know, you can't do it through the steering wheel controls. You have to use the "tune/file" **** to do that.
