Favorite stations . . . Am I missing something?
Is there no way to just have one favorite station list? It seems that I can only create favorite XM stations, then have to go through menus to switch to FM, in order to get to FM station favorites. Is there a way to just have a single favorite list that has my favorite stations, no matter where the source?

I think so...
....but I cannot try it myself until tomorrow. We can add a “shortcut” for favorite stations to our homepage screen, for FM, AM, and XM stations (see pages 275 and 280 of Owner’s Manual for guidance). Try making shortcuts for stations from different modes, in your desired order. I hope we can also move those shortcut icons around on the homepages so they are on one page, then we can press the “home” button and swipe to that page and choose the station we want, with the mode changing automatically depending on the selected shortcut.

Yep, finally tried it. When you select a shortcut you’ve made, whether an XM, FM, or AM station, the mode will change as appropriate with no further input from us.

Well, today I discovered (and maybe I'm late to the game), but you can add favorites from any of the selectables (XM, AM, FM), to the Main Menu! Just hold down on the pad when you're on the chosen favorite, then you can select "add to Main Menu" (or something like that). There it will go. You can then arrange the icons on separate pages by holding and dragging them from page to page.

I think I read somewhere that you can keep going for a few pages.
But why?
If they really are a favorite, you know what they are. Today, I used voice commands (to test it out) and said “play XM, the Bridge” it found it, and started playing. So then I tried the local FM station, and said “play 100 point 7 FM” and it played that. I tried an AM station, and it played that, I said “play XM channel 6” and it played that. Then I said “play XM Fifties on Five”. And it responded, “Gee Wizz, make up your mind; I can’t stand working for youse guys who can’t remember what they like.”
If it’s one thing I can’t stand, it is an impatient computer personal assistant. While I feel free to get tough with Siri on my iPad sitting in front of the TV, I do have to wonder at the wisdom of ticking off the computer assistant in my car. What if I hit the brakes, and hear “No. I am mad at you. How could you say that about me?” With sniffles, no less, as I drive into a ditch.
