XM feature

I was browsing the XM radio settings and discovered a new (to me) feature. When you change stations, the song playing will start from the beginning.. maybe this is old news and old technology, but it’s new to me. None of our last 4 vehicles had that.. I was today years old when I learned it even existed.

Are there any other clever features I’ve missed in the first month of ownership?

 

Yeah. It's kinda neat with one exception that you have to get used to...

If you're like me and you like to "manually" scan stations by quickly clicking through them, if you click onto the next station too quickly when you hear a song you like then you usually miss the song you wanted to hear. You lose the built up "cache" when you move onto the next station so even if you immediately go back, the song you wanted to hear will either be over or much farther along.

Just took me awhile to get used to.

I only listen to about 4 favorited stations so I haven't experienced that

 

people still use XMS?

the playlist rotation is almost as bad as radio play

 

HA! Yeah I use Spotify 80% of the time

 

yeah we have a family spotify plan. $15 for 6 people.

 

the compression of XM is so bad , I have no idea how anyone even uses it

 

haha. I didn't realize this would turn into a $hat all over XM thread.

 

and the LoS for the sat feed is horrendous. just going thru a single story building drive thru and we lose signal during the free xmas trial
