Radio

[Stratman397]

Are you using Apple Car Play? I've noticed that when I use my phone's Siri to unlock my garage door, the system goes into Apple Car Play and deactivates the radio by turning it off and staying in car play. When I get back in the vehicle everything is shut off and it defaults to car play looking for me to start any music from there. If I don't use Siri to open my garage door, the radio stays on when I restart it.

I have the manual on my phone as a pdf and spent nearly an hour trying to get back to the local fm station I like. I think the user interface can at times feel like the user slapinface . I suppose if I was in my 20s it would feel natural but I probably couldn’t afford the car. As an old boomer I can afford the car and I’ll eventually learn the system .

Mike, go to your profile. Program all your favorite stations on it. Then they will always be there. To change them, you can either touch the screen, or t command it to the station or use the arrow button on the steering wheel to go through your favorites

the point I was trying to make is that if I was using car play to stream music or whatever service that goes through car play, the radio defaults to off when I restart it

Mine is usually always on car play In case I get a text. In fact, I need to find a quick way to get out of Apple CarPlay. I know how to get to it, But like today when I went to make a phone call, I had to get out of it, so I just went to my Google map, I don’t know what else you can do to get out of it

Have you tried using voice commands? I couldn’t even tell you how to get to the radio stations on the car. I just use voice commands to tell it to tune to another station. If the car had physical buttons for presets, that would be the easiest method, but since it doesn’t, voice commands make it easy to not have to hunt through menus.

I use voice commands to navigate to the radio. Once in the radio screen, I use the steering wheel arrows to navigate to all my preset stations.
