    Yeah, you're probably in the majority. My wife is more in charge, sets, and knows the presets. I'm the luddite: "lessee what's on". I'll finally switch it to CBC am, happy. ;)

    Tideland is unwed. So he's probably happier than many of us on several levels.

    What surprises me, is with as much time as I spend at Prius Chat, this is the first thread that I've caught that mentioned it.

    That's because back then, the focus was on the INT setting/knob on the wiper stalk. It was the reverse of the Gen 2.

    Fairly enough. When I had SAT, I used the TUNE knob since there was almost a channel with every increment in number. I think it auto-seeks to the next available channel if I land on a channel number that didn't exist. A little different than terrestrial radio.

    Living up to your screen name :)
