Question Radio Settings

How do you get the last used radio settings (eg, FM Presets) to stay on all the time? I always have to select this when I start the car.

Also, how do you get the album art to appear?

Thanks!

not sure what you're asking. are you saying that when you get out of the car and you have say 96.5 on the radio that when you get back in the car its not longer on 96.5FM?

and album art should appear automatically as long as you're receiving a digital signal from said radio station. I'm not aware of a setting per say but i do know there is coding, but again this is defaulted on.

Let me try to clarify - I have all of my favorite FM stations set as presets and change between them when listening to the radio. However, every time I start the car, I need to select "FM Presets" from the menu as it doesn't automatically stay on that setting.



Was just wondering if there was a way to set this to automatic, so it would stay on "FM Presets"?

Same thing happens to me. I've just never bothered to try to figure it out, but it is pretty annoying since I only listen to one SiriusXM station. The menu always goes back to a different screen rather than staying on the presets / Sirius channel I listen to.

i would recommend saving them to the numbers above the HVAC, then all you have to do is press them. that's what i do as sometimes when i get a call in carplay it kicks me to carplay audio vice sirius or fm.
