Had Sirius installed- some questions please

Went and bought the Sirius Tuner Module and had it installed by the dealership in my 06 330i. I've noticed a few things about it and have a couple of questions.

1. Whenever I change the channel there is like a 5 second delay each time.

2. There seems to be 2 sets of presets and the will randomly select one at startup. However, I can't figure out how to switch b/w the two.

3. Sometimes it will randomly cut out for a second or two in clear air.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

1) This is normal.
2) Its picks that channel your on based on which keyfob your using. I also think it depends on how you insert the keyfob into the car.
3) Interference or its updating its channels list.

The 5 second delay in switching channels....does anyone think that is incredibly annoying?

Also, since there seem to be 2 sets of presets, how do you switch back to the one that you have already programmed in? I'm still trying to figure out what Sirius channels I like.

Well, i've narrowed down the presets issue. I have a remote start and when I start the car normally it starts up with the presets i've already loaded in.

When I use the remote start it is a second and all new presets that is different from normal. Any ideas.

More importantly, is there a way on the radio to switch b/w the 2?

Thanks
