Finding a Station

XM1 or XM2 (48 contiguous US states, if equipped). 

SEEK : Press the up or the down arrow to seek to the next or to the previous station and stay there. SEEK will appear on the display. The sound will mute while seeking. 

The radio will seek only to stations that are in the selected band and only to those with a strong signal. 

 SCAN : Press the SCAN button to enter
scan mode. SCAN will appear on the display. Press the up arrow to scan to the next station. The radio will go to a station, play for 5 seconds, then go on to the
next station. Press this button again to stop scanning. 

To scan preset stations, press and hold SCAN for more than two seconds until you hear a beep and PSCAN appears on the display. The radio will go to the
first preset station stored on your pushbuttons, play for 5 seconds, then go on to the next preset station. 

Press SCAN again to stop scanning presets. 

The radio will scan only to stations that are in the selected band and only to those with a strong signal. 

Setting Preset Stations 

The six numbered pushbuttons let you return to your favorite stations. You can set up to 30 stations
(six FM1, six FM2, and six AM, six XM1 and six XM2 (48 contiguous US states, if equipped), by performing the following steps: 

To set your preset stations manually, perform the following steps: 

1. Turn the radio on. 

2. Press BAND to select FM1, FM2, or AM, or XM1 or XM2. 

3. Tune in the desired station. 

4. Press and hold one of the six numbered pushbuttons for two seconds until you hear a beep. The set preset station number will appear on the display above the pushbutton that it is set to. Whenever you press that numbered pushbutton for less than two seconds, the station you set will return. 

5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton. 

   To set your preset stations with an equalization setting, DSP setting, or a PTY setting, see each of these features later in this section. When a preset station is selected, once one of these additional settings is selected, the preset station will remember each setting and it will remain active, until the setting is selected off for that preset station. 

6.  

    

   AUTOSTORE PRESETS: To set your preset stations automatically, perform the following steps: 

   1. Turn the radio on. 

   2. Press BAND to select FM1, FM2, or AM. 

   3. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to enter the main menu. 

   4. Turn the TUNE/SEL knob until AUTOSTORE PRESETS appears on the display. 

   5. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to select. AUTOSTORE will appear on the display. The radio will automatically search the band and select and store the six radio stations with the strongest signal. 

   The stations will be stored by signal strength, not sequential order. The set preset station number will appear on the display above the pushbutton that
   it is set to. Whenever you press that numbered pushbutton for less than two seconds, the station that is set will return. 

   6. Press the CLR button to exit the display. To return to the original display, repeatedly press the CLR button or wait for the display to time out. 

   When battery power is removed and later applied, you will not have to reset your radio presets because they remain in the radios memory. 

   PRESETS HOME/AWAY: This feature gives you the ability to store two different kinds of station presets. HOME can be used for stations available where you live and AWAY can be for stations available outside of 

   your local broadcasting area. To set preset stations for home and away perform the following steps: 

   1. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to enter the main menu. 

   2. Turn the TUNE/SEL knob until PRESETS HOME/AWAY appears on the display. 

   3. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to select your choice. HOME or AWAY will appear on the display. 

   4. Press the CLR button to exit the display. To return to the original display, repeatedly press the CLR button or wait for the display to time out. 

   Follow the manual or automatic steps previously listed for setting your preset pushbuttons for both home
   and away.

Thanks a lot Bruce! I will definitley give that a try.  I looked at the manual before posting here and it just didn't make sense to me lol

Thanks again!

Cadillac should add a short video.  Basically to 'save' a current station press & hold a preset button and you will hear a beep

to recall a saved station press a preset briefly.  To tune the radio use band to flip between am, fm, xm if equipped.  Use seek or scan to find a staion.  

The presets will sometimes respect current band, or sometimes also change band.  For example, one radio I had had presets for am if on am, and fm if on fm.  My current radio the presets are fixed and will change the radio to am or fm or xm if that is where the preset was.

also on my ATS-V there are extra pages of presets after each on fills up.  Not sure what the limit on pages is.

Haha, here is how we did it in the old days:

1. Tune in the desired station. 

2. Press and hold one of the six numbered pushbuttons for two seconds until you hear a beep. 

You can see that I wouldnt get the full functuonality out of the radio!  

Hey all I need is Bluetooth and Pandora!, and my favorite playlist
