When using android auto and listening to Sirius/xm, the steering wheel controls do not scroll through the presets like they did in my 21 Explorer, they do when not using android auto though (on the home screen).

Maybe just a setting that I missed?

Your 2025 Expedition has the Ford Digital Experience which uses Android Automotive. I don't think that's the same as a 2024 or earlier Expedition with Sync4 connected to Android Auto (no "motive").

I have 10-12 Sirius pre-sets as my fav channels. Android Auto then randomly assigns other pre-sets for the remaining available slots.
I've spoken to the In-vehicle Technology customer service folks at Ford and they tell me its un-fixable. There's no way to delete or un-favorite a Sirius pre-sent station.
If anyone has a work-around, please share as this is highly frustrating.

When listening to a Sirius station, there is small down arrow in the top left corner, you you press it you’ll get a new screen with three main options (For You, Categorites, and My Collection). If you go to My Collection a then click Edit on the right, you can delete presets.

Yes, when I have Android auto on the screen, My audio is from Spotify. I left Sirius last year, and I know they are giving a free 3 months or so but I am done with them.

I agree, the google Map in Android Auto is better than the home Nav screen.
