Scan XM channels one by one?

I know i can scan the presets on my XM(w/my steering wheel controls) but is there a setting that will allow me to scan the entire XM system with my steering wheel controls?

You can scan by using tuning knob...one click at a time.

We know that...

He wanted to know if he could do it from the steering wheel. Unfortunately we can't and it stinks!

True. But, does anyone else hate the fact that the channel knob is SO sensitive? Even scanning this way is a pita.

Sure, if you want it to take 5 seconds to change channel every time. This way you'd arrive at your destination before you reach channel 100

I agree. I wish the detents in the knob were stiffer. It's tough to turn it just one click when going over bumps or cornering. Add me to the list of those who wish the steering wheel button could be used for this in addition to preset selecting.
