I own a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Sirius/XM radio installed. The vehicle came with a "Favorites" option that lets you favorite up to 50 songs and 50 artists. Once an artist/song has been added to you favorites, an alert will pop up any time that artist/song is about to play on any Sirius/XM station, and you can choose to listen to the song or ignore the alert. It is, by far, one of the most convenient features I've ever discovered on a vehicle. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it on any other vehicles.

Does anyone have a Jeep and use the feature?

Do you know of any other manufacturers that use this type of system? It should be available across the industry as far as I'm concerned.

Not my exact UI, but it gets the point across

I had a Ford Focus Titanium that had it as well. Our Chrysler Town & Country van has it. Pretty much any vehicle that has a touch screen/navigation system with Sirius XM pre-installed on it SHOULD come equipped with said feature. Having said all that, you should drop Sirius XM and go with Spotify Premium. So much better, and I couldn't be happier that I made the switch.

Wife's Jeep has it. She uses the hell out of that feature. I think its pretty awesome but she forgets that when I am driving, it's not her "profile" so all her favorites don't pop up while she drives.

My 2013 F-150 has it, but I had the option on my portable radio that was in my Jeep Grand Cherokee since 2006, so the feature was nothing new to me. Wife's 2008 Escalade doesn't have it, either.

It's freaking awesome. Without it I would have probably canceled my satellite radio by now.

I've had mine over 3 years and have about 35 entries used up.

My 2013 has it. I've not used it because I focus my attention on safe driving. I mainly listen to the symphony, jazz, and laugh channels. I should put a fave on Regan and Gaffigan!
