It was easy to add to my favorites, but I can't find a way to delete!
If you press and hold a favorite apparently it's supposed to show a menu to give you option to delete. Unfortunately it instead saves current station to the button.
From Accord owner forum I found this info:

The option to DELETE A PRESET is missing. I spoke to the Honda Technology Group (the liaisons to the app developers) about this in January and the press-and-hold is supposed to bring up a button that gives you the option to Delete a preset. It doesn't. They promised to call me when this changes - and will also include a revision to the online Owner's Manual. But no ETA for a fix.

To REARRANGE A PRESET, you simply have to do it the old-fashioned way: get to the station you want, then press-and-hold to reset an existing preset with the current station. It's lame. There's no feature to 'reorder' alphabetically, numerically or otherwise.


And then someone in that thread has this to say:

Like all technology things we want Honda to consider fixing or changing, we'll need to reach out to them in sufficient nubmers for it to become a priority.

Contact them at either the Automobile Customer Service number 1-800-999-1009 (Mon-Fri 600AM-500PM PST) or the In-car Technical Customer Support 1-888-528-7876 (Mon-Fri 600AM-500PM PST, Sat 730AM-400PM PST)

Let them know you need a way to delete a radio preset.

And do me a favor while you're at it: request FLAC audio added to the list of supported audio formats. Thanks!

Hi dr_glenn, just curious why you’d want to delete. I haven’t bought mine me yet, so can’t picture the system and the reason I’d want to delete one. Thanks!

The "favorites" buttons are digital and they allow more than can fit on the screen - so you may have to scroll your favorites bar. On SiriusXM I think I only get 4 buttons visible. My favorites list is more, so I often have to scroll.

Anyway, imagine that every time you add a favorite you can't delete others. Not good. What you can do is overwrite an existing favorite.

Today I finally called the Customer Technical Support number that I show above. Not being able to delete is as intended. They offered me no hope that it might be changed. So suppose you have created 18 favorites before you realize this is not what you wanted. There are 4 buttons per screen, so you have to scroll thru 5 screens to see all your favorites! Well, you can now put your real favorites in the first 4 buttons by overwriting what is there. And then the next 4 favorites on the next screen. And after that, maybe you'll just never visit the remainder of the much too long list.

It's a pity, this doesn't seem like good design.

Honestly, while this might not be a perfect design, it mirrors the way older "touch button" selectors were designed. There was never a way to delete your prior selection, only the ability to overwrite them.

If you're referring to the physical buttons on old car radios, of course there was no way to delete - there were only 5 or 6 of them and you certainly couldn't remove the buttons. Although what you're saying makes sense (thanks, I'll look at it with different perspective now), the problem here is that you can add more and more soft buttons, but never remove them. I think I once did a station scan and it added like a dozen buttons! But I'm not sure, because shortly after I had the car in for routine service and somehow it came back to me with all buttons cleared.

The rear camera recall work whacked all of my presets (along with MPG history and a few other things). I know that's a bit drastic, but a hard reset of the head unit would likely do the same. I don't know the procedure for doing it though.

Is it limited to 12 presets? I need more.

Yes, 12 is the limit: 6 AM stations, 12 FM stations (6 each on FM1 and FM2 - OM p249), and up to 12 Sirius presets (OM p296).

However, on Sirius you can add up to 10 channels per preset via "multi channel preset" selected in TuneMix. It will group/play them as a mix; not sure if this is what you want, but does allow more to be stored across the limit of 12 presets.

I think you just set it to the station you want to put in memory and then press and hold the station you want to delete until it beeps again and accepts the new station.

 

[tightywhitey]

I can set the limit on my truck. I only need 4 more. I will try the tune mix.
