Default Disabling Media Options

I typically only listen to satellite, USB, and one FM band. Is there a way to disable the AM, CD, and second & third FM bands so hitting the media button on the steering wheel only pages through the ones I use? Thanks!

I've searched for this before and found it can't be done. I would like only FM and Bluetooth, or at least move Bluetooth up under FM so I don't have to press that down arrow to change pages to get to it...

I feel your pain!! The horror you must endure, and the tremendous effort it must take to press that down arrow. Life is just so hard and unfair.

My sincere sympathies, you poor thing.

Except that every push of a button is a distracted driving event.

Removing Sirius is possible. Have done it on my truck. It's done via the FORScan software and can be found on the FORScan spreadsheet.

Well let's see, first of all, I hate touchscreens. Especially when driving. I want a physical button I can press, or **** I can turn. Secondly, the truck will randomly decide to connect to Bluetooth when I start it up even though the last time I drove it, it was on FM. Further, it takes a few seconds, and I'm already moving by the time I realize it's on Bluetooth. Then, the system is so slow to respond, and while I'm driving, I have to switch the screen to radio, then I'm looking for this tiny arrow to press, which takes 2 seconds to respond, so that I can then press the tiny FM button.

I sit a pain in the ***? Yes. Am I taking my eyes off the road for this stupid reason when I'd rather not have to? Yes. Does it ruin my life? No. But it seems little things get to you quite easily if you think that makes life so hard and unfair. Either that or you're just being a dick. Either way, you can keep your smartass comments to yourself. Nobody asked you for an opinion, the OP is looking for a solution.

One more 'distressed' owner. Ha ha. I'm using the steering wheel button now, to minimize distractions. If the truck had one of those 'favorite' buttons, we could program our preferred source, but no such luck. So guess we'll have to suffer the indignations of life. Ha ha.
