I can't find anything through searching, and also in the manual, so here goes... I have a F700BT, and XM. When the unit is turned off, it doesn't stay on the same channel, it always defaults to 001 when turned back on. Is there any way to get it to stay on the last channel it was on when turned off?

 

Also, when I set the presets, they stay on the whole time the unit is on, then as soon as I turn it off, they all reset. Is there any way to make them permanent presets? I can't see why they would only be for a single trip, that seems ridiculous... But hopefully I just don't have something checked in the menus... Thanks for anyone who can help.

You hooked the XM power wire up to the wrong source

Yep, I concur. Recheck your wiring.

Which wire are you referring to? The power wire on the GEX 920XM box? Do you mean I have it wired to switched power and it should be a constant power?

Yes, it should be wired to constant power. That is what retains the memory.

Thanks for the reply, that would make perfect sense. I'll go recheck my wiring, hopefully that's what I did. Very annoying having to reset my preset stations every long drive...
