Have the ML radio on my 2022 NX 350. When I ask Lexus for a certain radio station in AM, it answers that
it is going to the station with the nearest frequency and very rarely the station I requested . When I
try the favorites on the saved screen get the same issue, Seems that is no way to tune the station
with any ****.

Same problem here! (Are there only 2 of us?)

During rush hour, I listen to realtime traffic updates on AM radio (frequency 680 khz). Getting there from SiriusXM is impossible for my Lexus Assistant.

"Hey Lexus ... Play AM 6-eighty" takes me to "the closest station," which the Assistant thinks is AM 670. Unfortunately, that frequency plays loud static noise, because it's adjacent to AM 680 and AM signals bleed over a few kilohertz.

Initially, the Dealer told me there must be something wrong with the way I was asking. Attempting several different ways of saying "AM 680," the Lexus Assistant gave me either AM 670 (static) or responded with weirdness like, "Would you like to message 680?"

The next time at the Dealer, I demonstrated and got AM 670 (static noise) again. They tried every way they knew to get "Hello Lexus" to tune to AM 680. And every, single time, the system took them to the closest available station, AM 670 (static). The service writer looked at me and shrugged. I decided not to leave my vehicle for service, after confirming that it wasn't user error. I wasn't having any other problems with the system.

To avoid button-pushing, I have found a workaround I can live with: Asking the Lexus Assistant to take you to "AM radio" will take you to the last AM station you were playing. AM 680 is the AM only station I play on a regular basis.

I wonder if you can say “Tune to WCBM 680” (ie use the station call letters)

That's worth a try! I'll report back (and experiment with a few other AM frequencies, as well).

UPDATE (edit): "Tune to WCBM 680 AM" ended up at 670 khz. Again. Randomly, I tried other stations. FM seems to be accurate, every time.
Some AM stations tuned correctly, others not. "Tune to AM 1090" (WBAL) took me to the "closest station" (which was at 1070 khz).
