Default How do you enter favorites on Sirius with the new PCM?

Just picked up a GTS with the new PCM colored icons
My Gt3 has the black-and-white icons. I haven’t had it updated yet.
My problem is I can’t figure out how to develop favorites in Sirius the GTA three has a button that you just press in it and I can’t figure out how to do it on the GTS
Anybody have a clue? thanks

I think, not sure, Carl, that there is a star on each station when it is displayed in full view on the PCM. Touch that star (which should fill in and be a solid star) and it should save to your favorites.

At least that is what I remember doing with the 'new' PCM colored icons versus the black/white ones.

Somebody smarter than me will chime in and correct me if I am wrong.

When you are tuned to the station, there is a star next to the FWD button on the PCM. Press the star to store. Filled in star is a stored favorite.

Voice commands work extremely well on PCM 6.1 - at least for me, e.g. "Tune to The Spectrum on SiriusXM", "Tune to channel 20 on Sirius XM", "Tune to 89.3 FM".

If only my wife could understand me as well as Porsche Voice Pilot does.

Here a link to a Porsche video about using voice commands:

Agreed.

I just used the "Voice Pilot" the other day to bring up a Channel on Sirius XM" when heading out for beers with my sales rep.
Worked flawlessly.

Find the channel you want to add.
Long press it on the screen.
A context box will pop up to add it to favorites.

It does actually work. I asked "Hey Porsche" to put on the Ravens game and it selected and switched to the correct channel.
