Storing an XM Station as a Favorite

Drivers are encouraged to set up their radio station favorites while the vehicle is stopped. Tune to favorite stations using the presets, favorites button, and steering wheel controls, if the vehicle has this feature.

FAV (Favorites): A maximum of 36 stations can be programmed as favorites using the six softkeys below the radio station frequency tabs on the display and by using the radio favorites page button (FAV button). Press the FAV button to go through up to six pages of favorites, each having six favorite stations available per page.

Each page of favorites can contain any combination of AM, FM, or XM stations.

To store a station as a favorite:

1. Tune to the desired radio station.

2. Press the FAV button to display the page where the station is to be stored.

3. Press and hold one of the six softkeys until a beep sounds.

When that softkey is pressed and released, the radio recalls the station that was set.

4. Repeat the steps for each radio station to be stored as a favorite.

The number of favorites pages can be set up using the CONFIG button.

To set up the number of favorites pages:

1. Press the CONFIG button to display the radio setup menu.

2. Press the softkey located below the FAV label.

3. Select the desired number of favorites pages by pressing the softkey located below the displayed page numbers.

4. Press the FAV button, or let the menu time out, to return to the original main radio screen showing the radio station frequency labels and to begin the process of programming favorites for the chosen number of pages.
