Steering Wheel Controls and SiriusXM Radio Presets on Aftermarket Navigation?

[arouth]

Hi,

I've read through the various aftermarket navigation threads here but still have one question...

For the people that have an aftermarket navigation unit installed in their 5th generation 4Runner, do the steering wheel controls cycle through the SiriusXM radio presets (i.e. from channel 2 which is hit songs to channel 9 which is 90's music) or just go from channel 2 to channel 3?

I had an aftermarket radio that did that and from my research it does not appear to be an issue anymore but wanted to check. Below is one of the models I'm considering and I've attached a picture of how it'll look when I'm done. I would get a SiriusXM Tuner and Steering Wheel control module with it.

I've always used Google Maps on my iPhone for navigation. With a good dash mount (ProClip) for the iPhone, the map is easily seen, and with the Bluetooth connection, the verbal instructions come over the car speakers. In that case, the volume of the verbal instructions is controlled by the steering wheel volume controls. Actually, there are two volume settings: one for Bluetooth audio, and another for the radio (AM, FM, XM, CD) audio.
