can you rewind to relisten to a song you heard like 10mins after turning on the radio? we can do this with our XM that we have in the barn

I'm not sure that question has been brought up before; I do know that the portable XM units have some functionality that is not on installed XM systems. If you figure out or get an answer; let us know. I am not aware of any kind of rewind feature for the installed XM systems in our Lambda's.

I have a friend with an aftermarket Sirius radio in his truck that will do that. I do not believe any factory GM XM radio has that feature, but I would sure use it and like it if it were available. The other thing that would be handy would be "on demand" programming like cable TV has. I solve that shortcoming by using audio books and iPod.

At some point, though, one still has to pay at least a little attention to driving. :thumb:

I tried that. Doesn't seem to be an option :-(

I know that the new Cadillac SRX has a feature which records (I think) 30 minutes of radio for play back. Along with being able to pause and start it again.

I believe that is just on their Nav units, which are also used in the Chevy and GMC new 5 seaters.

I'd be interested in adding that feature if possible. I'm gonna check ANC see what's different about Cadillac's Nav-radio compared to Chevy's as it applies to this function.

The 2010 Buick Lacrosse audio system has this feature because it is equipped with a hard drive. It lets you pause and play back live radio similar to a TV DVR box.

C Traz - You're right, that's where I saw the feature. I had forgotten.

My wife and I test drove the LaCrosse and saw an Enclave and got interested in that and ultimately bought a Traverse from the same dealer who sells Buick, Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac. (They used to sell Pontiac, too, at the same dealership.)
