Start with manually dialing in your favorites on the AM/FM or Sirius bands, dial in the frequency of channel number, then press a TILE for a couple seconds, that will overlay the factory setting, continue to build out your favorites and save them one by one to each tile.

I worked, top/left to top/right, and then proceeded to the next row until I had all my stations locked in, if you don't have as many favorites as there are tiles, hide the unused rows via the settings function, or fill them with second rate favorites, or those in other cities you travel to on occasion.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to delete presets. Also once you have one it is very difficult to get the system to stop defaulting to a radio station when you really want it to never play one ever.

The best I've come up with so far is to swipe up on the tile every time it decides I really want to listen to the radio. I never want to listen to broadcast (or satellite) radio!

You don’t have your model year listed in your profile. AM was removed in ‘23 models but will be available to be added back with a software update according to Farley. 22’s have AM. Sirius requires a subscription but you should still see the tab for it. Here’s an Internet screenshot I found of old Sync that shows where to select AM, FM or Sirius. It’s in the same place for the newer Sync though.

:) Sorry to ask the elephant in the room "us sitting in a bar, enjoying a beer together" question: You can fly a fighter jet but not program a preset? (Not being mean, this is all in fun and a rhetorical question) :):unsure::giggle:

My is a '23 so I guess I don't have AM yet. Most vehicles that I have purchased with Sirius came with a few months free trial. Guess I don't have that either.

Fighter jets are more logically designed than our Fords :)

Maybe i am misunderstanding. Is the radio on at all times. Can you Not turn the radio off?
In my ice with the radio off, my phone still works through the radio.

I'm thinking that FM is probably the feature set of the Lightning Pro until AM is restored.
You're right, I forgot the Pro does not have Sirius Radio.

I find that when your phone disconnects from the system for whatever reason it will immediately default to whatever radio preset was most recently selected, no matter what.

Fun tip - program the buttons for the channels you want, then program the remaining buttons all for the last channel on your list, then you never get channels you don't want.

Can the radio be turned off and everything else on the truck function properly?
