Default Using Sirius XM thru Android Auto

Recently picked up my C7 . I am trying to use Sirius XM thru Android Auto. What is the best way to navigate thru the channels when driving? So far, I rotate the menu button to channel up and keep hitting the menu button to change channels. Is there a better way? Thanks in advance.

Why not just use Sirius built into the car?

I have sirius in 2 other cars. I put less than 3000 miles on the vette and only drive it for approx 5 months a year. I live in NY and put it away when the temps drop below 40 degrees. Why pay for another subscription when I have the app and android auto?

Gotcha. Just a suggestion, I tied all of the cars in my household under the same account and they gave me a killer deal. Sorry, I don't have Android, so I cannot help further.

I do not know if this will work. I change songs on my USB Stick using the voice commands. It took a while for me to learn what cadence the computer preferred and for it to learn my voice.

Now, I hit the button, say "Play, Light my Fire.". It asks me, "Do you want to play, Light my Fire"?. I say "Yes". It then plays it.. Good luck!

That’s interesting. I never tried that. I almost exclusively use my USB Stick to play music, but mostly just leave it on shuffle play and go. I’ll have to give that a try. Like you, I don’t know if that will work on Sirius, as per the OP’s original question. That would be worth a try for him/her. Don’t forget there is a Sticky at the top of the page where you can access the manual for the Infotainment System, specific to the year of your car.

So....I found a solution. I set up stations in the library (sirius xm app on my phone). The fav buttons on the left side of the steering wheel will cycle through them.
