This is what sold it for me. I've taken many cross-country trips and it has been great being able to not have to deal with finding a different channel every hour or so as an FM station breaks up. And finding a decent channel can be almost impossible in some areas of the country where all there is is Religious talk radio or old school country.
And ads for the local Winn Dixie!
No because it would do no good - sync 4 manages the audio including presets (favorites as you call them) for sync as well for Android Auto and for CarPlay (iPhones) - this applies to presets for SiriusXM, FM and AM stations
Oh, okay! I will try that, thanks!!No because it would do no good - sync 4 manages the audio including presets (favorites as you call them) for sync as well for Android Auto and for CarPlay (iPhones) - this applies to presets for SiriusXM, FM and AM stations
Once you create your presets (favorites) using the Sync screen, you can use those while AA is running - as long as your steering wheel controls shown in the pic’s red box work to scroll through the presets (I am not sure how those steering wheel controls work for ‘25 and ‘26 based on an earlier post from another owner)
Try creating your presets, bring up AA and use those steering controls (shown in the red box) and let us know
SiriusXM does not run under Android Auto or CarPlay. SiriusXM is running on the SYNC system. SiriusXM and any terrestrial radio stations are saved on SYNC 3.4 or SYNC 4.
Not exactly correct but is accurate on how I prefer to use siriusXM
I use SiriusXM on CarPlay exclusively. I can bounce between fm stations and XM stations.
thats one feature I like, you can load up what 18 presets, I think up to 30 if you enable 5 pages, so you put them in a proper order of the mores listend to to the least and you can bounce around between all the presets.
There never was 199 introductory offer. When serious satellite radio lifetime plan originated in 2004, it was 399. And very quickly rose to 599, and at the time that it ended, it was at $699. I know this as 100% fact as my sister has worked in advertising for sirius since 2001. In the mid-2000s, they did offer two promotions where you could get lifetime for $199 on the first promotion the second one they had upped it to $299. I myself paid $499 for my lifetime plan, which also included five free transfers from one radio to another. Which they eventually did away with and now charge a minimum $35 transfer fee. I really kicked myself for not jumping on board during the cheap promotion. As my sister constantly hounded me to purchase a lifetime subscription then. When I did finally decide to do it of course I couldn't get the cheaper deal. Just my luck
Not yet. So, I always use my Android Auto and as there isn't a way to preset channels that way. I also noticed that the sound sounds better through that than the SYNC4, in my vehicle any way, I'll just keep doing it as I have been. I will at some point try it.
