Default Two questions: SiriusXM and Tire Press monitoring

There are two things I don't like about my 2014 RX250 (compared to my Infiniti M37) for a luxury vehicle it this price range: I'd like to know if this is different for the 2016 RX

(1) first when I want to change radio stations (the SiriusXM stations) on the RX, I only see a station number like CH 2, CH 3, or CH 56 unless I tune-in (then it shows the channel name/genre, like "Country" or "Classic Rock") however, on my M37 (with SiriusXM) I see the "Rock", "Country", "50 Hits" etc., before I have to tune in. This is a lot nicer when you are wanting to scroll through the channels - so you can tell what they without tuning in.

(2) The other thing that disappoints me on my '14 RX is that when a tire is low on air, I get a Tire Warning light, but it doesn't say which tire is low - so I have to check them all. On my M37 all four tires display their air pressure when I go to the info screen. I like to look on my M37 occasionally just to see that the pressures are all even (or within 1 psi), rather than wait for a low pressure alarm to display like on the RX.

I know the new RX350 has the backup alignment grid lines now. So that's a good.

(2) The '16 RX has individual tire pressure readings available in the Multi-information display. A simple initialization procedure may need to be performed first though.

What happens if the spare tyre is low? When the spare in the previous RX lost air I had to take it to the dealer to fix it.

I dont remember exactly which thread, but someone mentioned they got rid of the spare tire sensor. Double check on that

My '13 Rxh showed only XM station numbers which was very annoying...how was I supposed to remember which station was on channel 112? In the '16 Rxh you can see the actual station call sign when you go to the Radio display. I don't recall if it also has the category...I'll try to check on that later.
