Programming steering wheel buttons for SAT presets...
I just got a new 06 SL500 (and I actually RTFM) ![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I can't figure out how to get the steering wheel buttons to change thru my Sirius radio preset stations (as opposed to jut going from Sirius channel 1, 2, 3, 4 etc which is what they do now.)
I remmebr being able to make this change on my 01 S600, but I can't figure it out now.
Thanks.

SoCalSam: If your dealer attempts to rorate the tires on your SL, I would suggest finding another dealer. The tire sizes on your car differ from front to bsck, making tire rotation not such a good idea.

Sat Presets
Once I go to a preset sat station I have to hit presets again to find another preset station. I'm unable to directly from one preset station to another.
I'm I doing something wrong, or is this a poorly designed software program?

i am not familiar with the MB factory Sirius unit, but on Sirius's portable head units you hold down the band button to activate the preset tuning operation. Maybe if the MB unit has that feature you may want to try it.
