The presets on my 5 year old Jeep's radio are horizontal strips that can be expanded to cover the display screen from edge to edge. They show 3 pieces of information.
If I press the "presets" button once it shows the channel names, press it again and it shows the artist names, press it a third time and it shows the song titles. So it's possible to see, for example, 4 song titles at once. If there's a song I like better than what's playing I can just hit the appropriate preset. It's a great feature.
Recently I had a chance to play with the radio in a new car in a Jeep showroom and found that it doesn't seem to have that feature. The presets are small buttons at the top of the display screen with no info other than the channel.
How do other car's presets work? The next time I shop for a new car this is something I'll consider. Thanks.
