How many radio presets?

Hi all.

My Pilot only has 6 radio presets, so I can only cycle through a total of 6 FM or XM radio stations (typically with the control on the steering wheel).

How many radio presets are on the RDX?

Thanks!

I found a video that made it look like there are only 4 presets. Is that true? I was hoping for more than 6. I just wanna be able to set X amount of XM radio channels, then cycle through them by clicking the button on the steering wheel. Anyone know how many stations are possible like this?

Presets are called "Favorites" in the new RDX infotainment system. Twelve Favorites can be stored for each type of service (AM, FM, Sirius, etc.). The confusion may be that only four show up at the bottom of the screen at any time, but swiping will reveal the rest. Favorites will also show on the HUD if you have one and the control wheel will also cycle through them.

Hooray! Thank you. I was hoping for more than 6 so this is great news. Are you saying that we can only cycle through using the steering wheel if we have HUD? Is that correct? (by the way, how do we cycle through the 12 presets if we don't have HUD?)

I believe you can cycle using the steering wheel regardless of whether there is a HUD by toggling the thumbwheel right or left. The HUD just allows a third way in addition to the thumbwheel and touchpad, providing a list that can be "rolled" through and selected.

You can also pin favorites to the home screen to make access even easier.

Is it possible to rearrange the Favorites (presets) on the bottom of the XM screen? Or must I add them in the order I want them from L to R? Thanks!

EDIT: OK, I found it, must delete and re-dd in order... got it!

Actually, I found how to rearrange the Favorite stations. Just the same way as rearranging the apps on the home screen.
