Does anyone know if you can sort trough stations with one the steering wheel dial? Opposite the volume control. I hate reaching or going 1 station at a time. Benz and BMW have the **** or dials that worked great. Thx

The radio operation leaves a lot to be desired. It is pretty pathetic for the class of car, the driving experience of the car makes up for some of the lack of amenities.

I have the 2022 and I made the post. It doesn’t that I can find. I have to stretch cross to use the dial on the upper right of the console or switch station by station (1 at a time) using the steering wheel.

when you have 100+ channels that’s no bueno. And favorites only partially helps.

Pretty sure (based on a couple of owner’s comments), you can set up your favorite stations (new with the latest PCM), and then push the diamond (programmable) button on the steering wheel to move from one channel to the next….but unlike BMW’s “dial/wheel” that allows you to easily scroll up, or down on the stations, Porsche has no such capability….you can only go in one direction.

While Porsche makes some of the best engines, their user interfaces leave something to be improved upon.

If you create a sirius/xm favorites list then you can use the diamond (programmable) button on the steering wheel to go to the next saved station and when reaching the last it will start from the first one. You cannot scroll backwards. I only have about 8-10 saved stations and I'm delighted to finally have this feature.

Do you have to set the programmable button to that function specifically?

What happens if you program that button for another function like Homelink?

Yes, IIRC that little diamond can be programmed in the PCM for a few functions.

If you know what station you want, the voice command works in a pinch. For example "Play satellite radio Chill" works for me. Maybe there is a voice command to navigate across/backwards your favorites,

I've learned you can be incredibly short with the voice commands for Sirius/XM. For example, "Channel Bridge" works. And even just "Channel 9" gets you the 90s on 9 with DTJB.
