Old Man Jeep / Sirius XM Question

Most radios you have to scroll to the station you want then press one of the pre set buttons and hold it for a couple seconds. Usually it will beep and then your good.

Open AI looks to have a good answer. Sounds like you are using the rocker switch (seek; goes through all channels) when you should use the center button to cycle through presets only.

I asked it, "how can I cycle through my preset XM radio stations on a 2024 jeep wrangler?"

It said:

Using the Steering Wheel Controls

Based on the Wrangler Owner’s Manual:

On the left side of the steering wheel (rear surface) there’s a rocker-switch + a button in the center.

The rocker (up/down) does seek up or down through channels (i.e. move to the next/previous SXM channel).

The center button on that same left cluster switches to the next preset you have saved. So if you have, say, 5 preset XM channels, pressing the middle button repeatedly cycles through those 5.

What’s the Difference: Seek vs Preset?

Seek Up/Down = goes channel-by-channel through all available SXM channels.

Preset (center button) = jumps through *only the channels you’ve saved as presets.

So depending on whether you want to just flip through your favorites, or scan through everything, you’ll use a different control.

If you tell me what exact trim and screen size you have (e.g. Uconnect 4, 7-inch screen vs larger), I can verify where your controls are and maybe send you a picture.

Twenty 49 - there is a center button between the switches. That works.

Thank you !

Electronics is why I bought a GMC instead of a Ram truck earlier this year. Ram trucks have two batteries because of the electrical load and many are still dying overnight.

Good that you're not having issues but a simple Google search will back up my statement. I wasn't willing to take the chance on a 2025 Ram. What year is yours?

The middle button behind the left side of the steering wheel is what i use to scroll through my presets on my Rubicon.
