Changing music stations

Just curious how everyone chooses to change the XM or radios stations? The mouse on the center console is a bit clunky. I have found myself using the buttons on the steering wheel because they are more consistent. What do you all prefer?

On my 2022, tapping on the forward "bar" of the touch pad where there is a Home, Back and << >> icons, brings up my preset stations which are then easily scrolled. Also, with Navigation or Radio on the screen, scrolling on the touch pad forward with two fingers brings up the presets which you can then scroll. If you have the Music screen up on the center screen, you can swipe left or right to scroll through stations in that category.

Yeah mine does that as well but it is super clunky and inconsistent. It would be my biggest complaint of the car so far. I have manipulated the settings on the trackpad to try and get it to be more accurate but with no luck.

Or you can touch an icon on the screen (looks like a little list) and get a list of stations, and you can sort them by "all" or "genre." Scroll and tap to select.
Pretend you're learning a new phone, and you'll get it.
