Accessing SIRIUSXM Presets
 

(Note: 1st Audi purchased used. Newbie on this forum)
So, obviously, down on the infotainment cluster there are 8 radio presets for Radio favorites. I noticed on the SiriusXM display there are high numbers(22,29,35, etc) beside some of the preset stations. Is there a way to access these presets(similar to the 8 radio presets) without having to scroll through the SiriusXM Infotainment popup display? I hate driving down the road and having to manually scroll through the stations on the steering wheel when, obviously, not safe to do so.
FYI, I did do a search on the forum for this but no luck.

If I recall correctly, you should be able to favorite your SiriusXM channels. Once you favorite them they should appear together. I could be mistaken, I'll have to take another look today and will report back.

The only way I found is that you go to the channel you want to save, right click and add it to your SiriusXM channel present list. Once it's added to your present folder, there you can re-arrange your channel in any order you want, i,e, most popular channels to least popular channels. Then it's just a matter of scrolling through your present folder, which will only contain the channels you add. If there happens to be some in there that you don't want you can right click and delete them.

The numbers next to the stations on the full Sirius channel list correspond to their number on the Preset list. Navigate out a level, to the Radio Menu, and instead of SiriusXM, FM, or AM, select Presets.

You can keep a small list of favorites rather than scrolling through dozens or hundreds of Sirius channels . Add presets from the Sirius, FM, or AM listings (right +, Store as Preset), and delete or reorder while in Presets.

But there's no way to scroll through them, other than the same way as the larger listing - it's just a much shorter list.

I use the command wheel, not the steering wheel to scroll. But if yours is from after Audi deleted this glorious control, you may be stuck with the steering wheel.
