    Happy Monday People. I have a question. I have a '17 Tundra Platinum. It has the JBL Entune system and since day one, the xm radio would jump channels, it would go to 5 to 1 7, then jump to like 70, then 158, etc. We made sure that the settings were set to ALL and not to a music sub group like pop, country, etc. It was set to ALL and nothing would reset it. XM was useless in helping so I went back to Toyota, they were equally baffled, try the XM support, also no help, Toyota replaced the head unit as well as the control cpu which gave me a new radio id and still I am having the same issue. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what was their fix for it?

    I googled 'siriusxm problems switching stations' and got 2 pages of links, across forums for all vehicle makes that offer it.

    Whatever it is, what you're experiencing is not rare. Sorry I could offer a more specific start on where to look. Good idea coming here though; one of these crazy geniouses probably can get you on track.

    A few months ago I dumped all three of my XM accts. Just go so tired of renegotiating every year for a decent discount. Now saving $500 a yr and not looking back. I give XM credit it's a shake your money maker! :rofl:

    The execs at XM are smoking macanudos and reading Hinkley and Grand Banks yacht magazines.

    For years I've driven old (paid for) clunkers-- even went years w/o any working sound system in one due to some weird coding glitch no one could figure out BUT any time I planned a 100+ mile trip I rented a car SiriusXm for the drive. But, although I enjoyed the 3 month trial I've had with my new Tundra, I decided by the end that I'd do better to manage the music I already have. Bought a Plenue D high-res player and finally made time to get my favourites transferred. I figured, instead of paying $115/year for XM, I can buy probably 70 new songs. So, after years of yearning for XM, I surprised myself by getting over it before the trial ran out.

    I had SiriusXM for the 3 month trial and then stayed on for another 6 months via a $25/6 month promotion they offered.

    I found that they do the same playlist garbage that terrestrial radio stations do. Slightly more channel offerings than fm- which was promising, but you hear the same songs over and over and over. Decided it wasn't worth it for me and I haven't missed it.

    But I had a similar issue to OP. It would group the stations (talk, sports, rock, country, etc). Couldn't just scroll 1-100. Not sure if that was a SiriusXM thing or Toyota Entune thing. Messed with it a little, couldn't ever figure it out.

    Spotify, Amazon prime music, and pandora scratch the itch enough if FM isn't cutting it.

    Actually I am on the same deal as PermaFrostTR and mine will expire in a couple months. I am just about to say to hell with it and just stick to the 2000 or so tracks on my USB stick.

    I have the same issue. Also had the head unit replaced by Toyota. It did not fix it. You have to use the tuning nob to get to some stations. The Up and Down scroll buttons skip a few channels. Not sure why. We program the channels we want into the head unit instead as a work around. And use the tuning nob when needed.

    That's pretty much what I do now too and for a $51k truck. That's ridiculous. I am just going to let the radio subscription run out. I got a ton of mp3's on a usb stick that will keep me rocking down the highway.
