Default Radio problem

Hey guys I searched for this problem and couldn't find what I was looking for, hopefully someone can chime in. I have a 2013 GS with the ML system and when I'm listening to any FM station and want to change stations, instead of changing the station, it changes to satellite radio. BT mode still works without issue. All systems besides that are normal. Even when I have the radio mode on full screen, the left side has Satellite stations instead of FM stations. Weird, hopefully someone can chime in. I appreciate any help, Thanks

Send a picture. I am wondering if you need to reprogram some of your preset stations from satellite to FM.

Yea, just reset ur preset with the new stations. The way the Lexus radio preset is setup can be confusing and weird.

The way I set up mine is one page all XM and the next page all FM. U can save 6 stations in one page I think.

Like this:

Page 1 - SXM
SXM-CH1
SXM-CH2
SXM-CH3
SXM-CH4
SXM-CH5
SXM-CH6

Page 2 - FM
101.1
102.2
103.3
104.4
105.5
106.6

Stay on one page and search thru the radio station (FM or XM) using the right **** and save it by holding the Enter button on the mouse on the preset field that u want and continue until all 6 station presets are set.

So that way when u change the station with the button it'll stay within the FM or XM preset range instead of jumping around like u have now.

The whole infotainment system can be very confusing IF u don't know how to use it but once u become familiar with it, it's not that bad.

thanks, it was what you described. I was all the way down on the xm side and everytime I would go up or down using the steering wheel control it would just change the station to another xm station😂. Thanks for the help guys
