Mine does the same thing. EQ setting normally changes from disc to iPod/XM to radio depending on what you have them set to. Radio stations I would think would keep the same EQ setting though but mine changes from station to station too. I haven't worried about it because I listen to my iPod more than anything but I'm curious about this myself.

Once you get the radio station preset, say to the top button, call it button #1. Change the EQ settings to what you like for that channel, then hold down button #1 again until it beeps, which will save that EQ setting for that station. You have to do it for each radio station or it will go back to the preset each time you switch from it.

You can have a seperate setup for each station. My assumption is they did this so your tolk radio and sports news sounds good and your music can too. Really its just another exaple of why a LOT of the people within GMs electronics division should be shot hung and quartered.

Set each station but you have to set the audio and then hit and hold it to save the settings to the station. Then you can set one GENERAL one for stations unsaved.

Takes forever and SUCKS.

Yep, you have to resave your EQ settings per preset, just like if you were saving the preset.

This is exactly how it is done.
