Radio presets gone
2010 ML550:
Sirius XM radio presets will randomly disappear. I usually set buttons 1 through 0 with my favorites. Then next time I get in the truck all the buttons default to the preview channel. My presets are erased. This could happen after weeks or if has happened twice in the same day. No rhyme or reason to it. I feel like this would be a radio problem and not Sirius doing it. What can I do to keep my presets stored?

GL550 X164
I have an x164 and recently thought that the station I had stored under 0 was reset to the XM promo channel while all others 1-8 were retained, but I also found it very odd that the station I thought I had stored under 0 was moved to 9. I did not think that I had a station stored under 9.
So I'm prone to attributing this whole thing to a localized brain fart.

This place is a joke.
This just happened to my 2011 ML63. All sat radio presets were lost after I set them 10 days ago. They all bring me to the preview channel now. I can manually tune to any station however. I've got 2 weeks left on my free trial and don't intend on paying for future service, so I'm not worried about it. For anyone else, I'd suggest having the dealership perform a software update on all the audio components. It shouldn't cost more than $200 or so.

I had the same promo for 6 months which was about to expire in February so I called them and they signed me up for the 12 month promo with no hassle.

SiriusXM has a promo for the middle tier service for $5/mo for 12 months. Mind you this is in Canada. If you have a similar promo in your market, I'm sure they'd be happy to set you up. I wouldn't pay the regular price for the service considering I don't drive the car much and can stream via Bluetooth if I don't feel like listening to AM/FM.

Have you noticed if all presets are reset or just some? I wonder if the same presets (ex. button 1) are being reset while others are retained.
