Discovered new trick on the LR2 satellite radio

I noticed this trick this morning driving to work. If you press the green phone button while you're listening to satellite radio, you can switch between the station, song, and artist displays on the sat radio. I know this isn't too ground breaking, but I'm glad there's a way to switch displays w/o having to go through the menu options.

Sirius. Satellite radio is only available in N America I believe.

Does it work if you have a phone paired with the system, or will it automatically make a call instead?

it works in CD mode, when you have a MP3 disc in, press green to get a list of albums, up and down to scroll through them, green to select album, and do same again for the songs

The green phone button on mine only works for the phone if i press the Phone button on the stereo first. then i have voice dial etc Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Works fine when the phone is paired too.

I didn't know about the green phone button when an MP3 disc is in the changer. Good tip!
