Default XM Satellite Bug or I am doing something wrong

I just installed XM (OEM) in my 2006 IS250 w/ Nav. I bought the kit from Lexus and the Antenna. The install was easy (Thanks to the forum posts). I mounted my antenna inside the car (Back window) and that works great.

Here is the problem ...

How do you change the stations ... say going from 20 to 21 and 22. When I use the tuner **** it goes to Rock ... Country ... News .. The Scan and Seek seem to do the same thing

Is there another way to advance it only by one channel at a time? If it is by the tuner **** then I have a bug somewhere.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have nav so it might be a little different... You normally have the option to change
stations by "type" of music or from 20 to 21 etc... Look for the button that says "type", this may allow you to toggle between the two functions.

Nav hacked or no nav hacked?

According to the manual the **** is only used to scroll up and down station by station..20...21...22 , etc.

If you did the nav hack you likely screwed somelthing up..if not..you could have a bad XM unit or something

Huh, I doubt you have a bad tuner, something else must be missing... What about the Track/Seek buttons, what do they do?
