Does anyone know if it's possible to enable the presets for the stereo on the 12" display?
It would make life much easier if the presets were always available on the screen.
I've looked through the Forscan spreadsheets, but couldn't find anything.
Not sure where else to look.
Thanks

I'm familiar with how to find and program the presets.
When I'm using android auto the presets aren't present. I have to switch to audio to get them To appear on the screen.
Is there something I'm missing?

I use satellite radio and run android auto to display waze.
I'd like to have the presets up on the screen so I can jump around the stations.

I miss the 6 hard buttons that were on my 15.

With a Lariat, don't you have voice control?

I just push the button on the wheel and tell the magic Lady in the dash to "tune to xxxx".

If this is what you’re talking about then yes (see picture). Just preset on infotainment screen & it will appear.

Thanks BIG MIKE,
I'm looking for the presets to be visible all the time on the 12" screen.
I jump around stations and I really don't like using the voice control.
It might work for others, but I find it slow.
I want the ability to tap, tap, tap through the presets like when the presets are shown on the audio screen, but have android auto running.
I hope I'm making sense.
Maybe it's too much to ask.
Like a lot of people are feeling, the 25 year is coming up a bit short in options we used to have.

On my 2023 you can tap through the presets using the arrow buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. It only goes sequentially, but it's better than nothing.

I'd love to have them visible on the screen as well, though.

I used AA on my recent trip and had XM on the side cards. Used my right side arrow buttons on the wheel to switch stations or voice.

Well if you are using Android Auto, then the programming for the radio comes from your phone. The only way to have your regular radio presets shown on my 24 XL when using AA is to manually switch the radio off of AA music choices to the radio. Then you will have to have the regular radio as the main screen, with navigation running in the side window with voice directions over the radio. Presets should be at the bottom and run as they would off of the buttons on the steering wheel. Is this what you are looking for? Maybe I miss understood you?

OP, the preset stations bar is only visible when you are in the Audio screen.
