Can't change radio station from the steering wheel

Must be pilot error on my part. I have a bunch of presets for FM and XM. Today, I set some additional XM presets. When I went for a drive, rotating the wheel (on the right side of the steering wheel), it would scroll through the stations on the HUD, then pressing it down would select it. However, pushing the the little wheel thingy left or right didn't change stations quickly as it's done in the past. Am I in some wrong mode or something?

It is a bug. Every now and again it happens to me too. I believe pressing on the input choice and reselecting presets fixes it when it happens.

FWIW I am on 11/2022.64.

Enyone know why on the steeringwheel the radio/music button under the pluss and minus volume buttons does nothing?
Also a long press does nothing.

This problem can be immediately fixed by going back into the media app, selecting a new preset, and then exiting.

Based on briefly playing around with this, you can use the steering wheel control to advance track through presets (if you have selected a preset) or through the normal order of chronological stations but not through favorites? I prefer favorites because it is one type of station as opposed to presets which mixes FM with sirius, etc.

When you are on presets, can you advance to next chronological station? I am use to other cars where you can advance through your presets but also have a way ( ie if you long press advance button) to go through chronological next station instead of the preset.

Good info, but I was only discussing a way to quickly fix the bug that is being discussed.
