XM steering wheel question

So this may be a dumb question and I'm sure someone will tell me to read the manual, but I usually channel surf on XM and constantly have to reach over to the tune button on the console to go through the channels. The steering wheel controls only goes through the pre-set. Is this the only way to do it?

From my experience, Hondas only switch between presets and sources. You should have 12 stations between XM1 and XM2. Is that not enough?

I guess you answered my question. Not enough stations? Sure, XM has plenty but i like to surf until I hit a good song.

Hmm although him speaking to say every channel is funny, I wonder if the command < scan > would work.

The same steering wheel button that changes presets will also go to the next channel. Instead of push and release, hold the button down and it will go to the next channel. It's slow but does what you need.
