Need help: XM Controls on 06 (Non-navi)

I'm about to do something unfortunate - buying a car I've never driven or even seen. But it can't be helped: I need a car immediately, have no dealer anywhere nearby, and am familiar enough with the 04 TSX that I'm confident this is the car for me. I've been able to arrange things with a dealer over the phone, but of course, before I pull the trigger, I'm being hit with waves of paranoia. Hopefully you guys can help me out here.

I'm a total XM junky. Flipping among 10 or so XM stations is what gets me through my daily commute. So now I'm wondering how the XM controls work in the TSX (non-navi). Can somebody explain how one switches between XM stations - both presets and non-presets? Also, could somebody explain how the XM display works - are channel/title/artist simultaneously displayed, or, if not, what controls are used to switch between the display modes?

I know it might sound crazy that *this* is the thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger, but that's me. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Sal

Turn the tune knob to switch between the non-preset channels.

Use the numbered buttons to switch between presets.

Use the "Repeat" button to cycle through the display.

Is that all?

Thanks so much everyone. I just had this weird paranoia that the XM controls would be totally convoluted or something. Crazy I know, but that's what writing a big check does to me.
