If your radio presets are not in numerical order by frequency from low to high, you’re doing it wrong.

You probably also leave time on the microwave when you’re done, you monster.

Mine aren’t in numerical order, it drives my wife nuts.

I would never leave time on the microwave though. I mean, I’m not a barbarian.

Counterpoint: WRONG

I order them by stations ranked in terms of what I want to hear. If someone else in the car doesn’t like it, they can jump out because it’s my car so DON’T PUSH MAH BUTTONS

Logic dictates it be in order of importance. I had my NPR presets as 1 and 2, my FM transmitter as 3, and the rest as classic rock/80's stations.

ok, they are, sorta. but I divide by class first.

FM1 presets are rock/pop, ordered 1-6 by lowest freq to highest

FM2 is other non-rock/pop, ordered by genre, about 2 stations per genre, so 1 and 2 are in freq order, and 3 and 4, and 5 and 6, but 1-6 arent

FM3 is mostly talk, and its 1-6 freq order.

I never leave time on a microwave, even if I stop it early. so only HALF monster :D

This is a true statement.

Also a true statement: You should have the option to have AM and FM stations on the same preset list.

Also, I have never kept a radio preset in my life, but if I did they’d be IN ORDER, naturally.

Fuck numerical order i order them in chances i will listen to that station

The station i listen to the most is mumber 1 on my presets

And when a song i don’t like comes up i go to station 2

You are wrong and should feel bad about projecting your bad ways on others

I have zero radio presets in my car because I haven’t listened to the radio in years.

One nice thing about iDrive is the 6 preset buttons on the dash can also be assigned functions other than radio stations. I have the first 3 set to:

1. Toggle day & night mode for navigation

2. Toggle split screen

3. Turn the screen off

I have AM/FM/XM all on the same presets and can set how many preset lists I want (1-6) GM does/did some things correctly.

Chariotoflove > fhrblig
10/20/2017 at 12:50

I still have presets to remove that the previous owner left in. And my choice of my presets is a couple menus down. It’s annoying. I’m gonna have to sit down one afternoon and redo everything. Sometimes adding technology is not progress.

I just want the steering wheel controls to be switchable between seek mode and next preset mode.

This is the correct order. Frequency of what you actually listen to is the acceptable standards. Buncha heathens around here.

*shutter* Both of those are terrible thoughts

Radio presets always low to high. I had to fix them on my Mom’s Jeep because they were random AF

I always add 1 extra second so I don’t have to hear the timer beep and then I clear the extra time.

My radio has two presets. Spotify and off. When I was a radio listener I set them as others have stated. Favorite station to least favorite.

Kia hasn’t made it as far as GM has in that department. That feels weird to say, that GM is ahead of the curve on something.

10/20/2017 at 13:51

You can still do that with numerical order, plus it tends to break the genres up so you can go from type to type and break up the monotony.

In conclusion... no, you are.

For Sirius, first band is music but all from low channel to high. Second band is NFL radio and all the comedy channels but all in numerical order. It ends up all being in order from low to high anyway.

Except band 3. I let my partner program the stations for that one and it’s utter chaos. I never go to band 3.

FCA controls would please you. They are on the back of the steering wheel and the left set has an up and down rocker switch for tuning, and the center of it is a button that cycles thru the presets from 1-12. I miss them from my FIAT 500.

Can confirm, have two vehicles without factory radio and one was a *delete*. A third that was a *probably* delete/non-optioned, but because some nutbusting wankbiscuit cut a hole in the dash to install a “modern” radio I’ll never know.

My Ranchero was low option. Crowd: “How low option was it?” It was so low-option that it had a horn *button* and not a ring. The only other pictures I can find online of a roundbody Falcon with a button and not a ring are - get this - another Ranchero and one with a custom wheel. That’s “I didn’t even know that was an option” level option-removal.

I am also unconvinced that it ever had carpets. The only upgrades (if you’d call them that) were special order fleet color interior/exterior and a 4.10 rear end.

It’s entirely possible that a huge number more Rancheros were sold with the button than actual Falcons proper, since for the first few years they were 5-10 percent of sales - probably half or more with button, and probably fewer than one in 20 Falcons sold with one. But - the button says “Falcon”, and not “Ranchero”. This despite Ford abandoning describing it as a “Falcon Ranchero” some time around ‘61, just in time for the Peanuts ad campaigns for the Falcon to not include the Ranchero.

Kinja'd!!!

I’m serious. ‘62 they had a Peanuts ad for every single Falcon variety other than the Ranchero.

The preset number correlates with the frequency somehow, with two exceptions*

6 - 101.9

5 - 100.5

4 - 104.7

3 - 103.7

2 - 102.7

1 - 92.5 *This used to be 101.9 but they changed frequencies.

Mine were low to high from 1-5, with 6 being the “floater” for trips.

(If you spend more than 1 day in the same place, you gotta save the good local radio station just in case someone plays with the buttons...)

Then I changed the battery. I know what 1 and 3 are programmed for, but the rest is anarchy.

fhrblig > BJ
10/20/2017 at 23:03

I keep one floater button on one Sirius band for NFL games when I’m driving on Sundays. Kia’s tuner for Sirius is weird, so it’s easier to program the button to get back to the main game I’m interested in after floating around to the other games.
