Default Does NAV system radio have preset buttons?

Does it have random access to preset stations with a quick button poke? Or, do I have to step through them sequentially or access an on-screen menu first?

(I like to hop around, especially when "screamer" car dealer commercials start.)

Unfortunately, no preset buttons.

It would be OK if the radio button would default to the memory list, but it is a pain to have to press the radio button, press the memory button, and then select a station from the list.

I do wish for simple presets.

Default So what happens when you roll the tuning button on the steering. . .

wheel? On a non nav car it cycles thru the station presets.

Default It depends on what the radio "list" is displaying.....

If it's "normal" radio (AM/FM/satellite), it rolls from station to station--the tuner omits frequencies with no reception. If you're in "Memory" mode, it goes from preset to preset.
