Early radios didn’t have presets and when they added presets you were lucky to have four presets total. Two previous vehicles had 6 AM and 6FM presets. My current car has 6 AM, 12 FM, and 18 SiriusXM presets available. How many does your vehicle have and how many stations do you actually have set and listen to? I have all 12 FM set but mostly listen to two or three depending on time of day and mood. AM only two stations. Don’t subscribe to SiriusXM. Only use it during a free period. For my driving and listening needs it just doesn’t seem worth $12 a month for the amount of driving I do.
I will not pay for music when there's plenty to listen to for free. A commercial here and there is good. Learn about new products or an event we would otherwise not know about.
As far as presets, I honestly couldn't tell you. My radio dial stays on one station only, country.
Define early. I remember most of the cars and trucks we had growing up, you turned a knob to get to the station you wanted, then pulled the black button below the numbers on the dial, pushed it back in and boom, preset. I know our 72 Gran Torino, Dads 75 Chevy pick up, our Stallion Mustang, our LTD II, and several others had this. I think even up until 84 or so Ford had it. I dont recall if Dads 82 Chevy truck had it or not. but the 84 Ford did.
Currently I have 18 in my truck, the Enclave has 18, Im not sure on my Mustang, I only listen to 4 or 5 in it, wifes work car had 12 I think, my sons Ranger I dont know at all, its got an aftermarket in it, and my other sons Challenger I dont but he listens to music on his iphone mostly.

I had that pull out, push in to set preset. Also remember having to fine tune dial after pressing preset.
I think I have 15 for FM. However the sun causes the screen to think I am touching buttons and things tend to change b themselves. One by one a preset station takes over its inferious and conqueors the entire radio. Now there are onl two radio tations between the 15 FM presets.
On Am I have one page of 6 (or 6) one radio station preset ate all the others so I have only 1 on Am. I have not looked to see whether I have another page or pages of AM presets, I rarely listen to AM. not idea about Sirius I have never used it. they sure do call me a lot though.
I have 6? AM/FM on my 98 F-150. I had an Xterra with an aftermarket radio and that had something like three sets of six FM presets, and two sets of six AM stations I thought it was overkill. Most cars that I've been in they only have a handful of presets programed.
Does anyone else have their presets numerically organized?
