When listening to satellite radio you can "rewind" the songs if you're on the same station long enough, so if a song you like is playing and you want to hear it again just press the rewind icon on the screen not the buttons and it will skip to where you want.

Yep. Works on FM (and I'd guess AM), too, although it won't necessarily rewind to the beginning of the current song. You can also press it multiple time to go back further. It's documented in the manual.

Yep, works for the radio stations also. Check the Infotainment manual for more information.

I think it depends on if there are other HTML symbols in the thread. I had the same issue posting earlier today when the post had an imbedded link. Everything after '>' was deleted.

The original poster is correct. I had an entire message typed out and above is all that posted.

What I wanted to add was that if the arrow is blue it has tape and will work- no color on the arrow and no tape. If you change a channel, the tape starts all over so if you channel surf, the tape feature is basically nil.

My daily driver has a Sirius receiver and the receiver starts the tape when the radio is turned and I can listen to various channels and go back to a channel and have the ability to listen to the music for as long as the radio was on as opposed to as long as the channel was on. In addition, when I surf, I get the beginning of all songs regardless of when the song started. Great features that I wish GM had incorporated into their radio.

Try typing "&" then "lt" and finally a ";" as in &lt;&lt;

The &lt; symbol is the character that starts an HTML tag. You "escape" it by typing the & and ; and putting lt (for less than) between them.
