As previously mentioned, the up / down track / seek button on the steering wheel is counterintuitive, such that pressing up goes down in radio presets (if you're on preset 2, it goes to 1) and pressing down goes up in radio presets (if you're on preset 1, it goes to 2).
But now that I've been able to correctly format my USB flash drive and the media thereon for my car to recognize and play the music from same, I'm even more frustrated in that pressing up on the button jumps to the next track (if you're on track 1, it goes to 2) and pressing down on the button jumps to the previous track (if you're on track 2, it goes to 1); THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!
Why does this car have to contradict itself like this!? Very annoying.

Unfortunately, also the case when short pressing the up button to scroll radio presets (which goes from preset 2 to 1) and when pressing and holding the up button to scan radio stations (climbs radio stations / frequencies).

I think it's backwards cause when you have the FM/AM radio open on the nav screen, the presets are listed in order in a column, not a row. 2 shown under 1 and so on. Therefore pressing the down button follows the highlight as it moves down the column of presets on the screen.

Pressing down shouldn't go from preset 2 to 1.
Give us choice, at least, Lexus...
