Radio Skips
I havent really had many issues with my 2015 TLX with 80k. However, one of the first world problems I have had is skipping to another preset with the steering wheel dial. Every so often, instead of skipping to the next preset, it will skip to the end of the list, or even just a random place. Anyone else deal with that?

Not saying you don't know what it's doing -- it's your car, after all. lol. But are you sure it's randomly skipping or does it skip to the beginning of your presets?
I believe mine does this whenever I'm not on a preset station but then try to use the toggle wheel to advance to the next preset station.
Let's say these are my XM presets (they're not, so don't judge me) : 8, 10, 15, 200
If I'm on 10 and hit the toggle wheel to the right, it goes to 15 as expected.
If I'm on 10, but somewhere on my drive, I manually advance to 39, which isn't a preset, then press the toggle button to the right, I would think it would go to 200 (the next preset), but it doesn't. I think it will go back to the first preset which is 8.
It seems like if you're not on a preset and attempt to advance to the next preset higher than whatever station you're on, it doesn't work correctly. As a matter of fact,there are times where "the lady's voice" announces the first preset when I turn my car on even though that's not the station it's on. At least this is what I've narrowed it down to in my car and settings. It's been doing this for a while, but I could've sworn it didn't have this issue when I first bought the car. But maybe it has and I didn't notice it over the annoyance of the badly shifting transmission back then. lol.
