Presets
Hi,
Am I doing something wrong or are there a total of only 8 presets across all "Radio" functions? I would have imagined the 8 preset buttons would have been context sensitive, so I'd be able to store 8 Sirius presets, 8 FM presets, and so on, but that doesn't seem to be the case (At least in my case) where the 8 preset buttons are "global" and will change the "Radio" function according to the preset band.
TIA

That's a let down for a car that is so technologically advanced. I don't mind reprogramming my brain to associate stations to new preset numbers, but the problem is now choosing which stations get cut from the presets all together.

I guess, I had a hard time filling 4 spots. I only listen to two stations on XM and the rest is Pandora.

That's only for the hard button presets. You can store a lot of favorites in the radio menu.

I was slightly disappointed that the presets are global to the car and can't (as far as I can tell) be associated with two different drivers the way that most other stuff (seat position, climate control, etc) is. Not a big deal but it'd be nice to have different values for at least the 8 with the hard buttons.

Same with my '14 328. It comes in handy to one touch a lot of features/functions.
