Using the Forward and Back buttons for the Radio?

Whenever I press the Forward/Next or Reverse/Back buttons when i'm listening to the radio I'd like them to advance to my next preset station, not the next .2 in the frequency of the station. Does that make sense? Say my #1 preset is 95.1 and my #2 preset is 97.9. If i'm currently listening to my #1 preset which is 95.1 and I press the forward button, it goes to 95.3 instead of my #2 preset.

 

Is there an option to change the way it acts or is it stuck being retarded? Big oversight with Pioneer if they didn't implement this.

 

Thanks,

Why not just touch the preset on the screen? Doesn't seem like a big deal

Because I usually have my GPS screen up while i'm listening to the radio and when you press the next button (hard key) I want it to go to my next preset, not the next .2hz in radio signal.

Don't think it can be done. You might consider a remote, I think they are down to like $15 and you can press the up/down for presets, left and right for seek/tune

When I have to press the preset button on the screen I have take my eyes off the road, look down and press the button. Hoping that I don't miss the button on the screen.

 

By pressing the hard buttons at least I can feel them and not take my eyes off the road.

You don't look at the deck when trying to figure out whether you are pressing >>] or [<<??? That impressive, and I am doubtful. I still say skip a couple fast food meals and buy a remote, but thats just me
