Angry Radio with steering wheel controls issue
Hi I have a 2011 HHR2LT when I try to change stations with the steering wheel controls my radio goes from FM to XM. I want to stay on FM because I don't subscribe to XM. Can anyone help. By the way I have the pioneer system without USB. I wish I had USB. Thanks

The USB Radio came with the My Link Package in 2011.
Not with the Pioneer Premium Package.

Can we assume that you have read the entertainment section of the Owner Manual (available on this forum or from any GM dealer), and it did not answer the question?

What you need to do is deactivate the XM feature. See:

Probably because the presets are still programmed to go there...wheel only tunes to preset channels..
