Will there ever be a fix for the audio source brain fart?

[TheGreatCatsby]

Love this CX-5 I got, with grand touring package, but Bose stereo sounds just ok. Not horrible, but could be a lot better. I'm not really too concerned with Pandora or streaming the Iphone music app, and many have expressed concerns with that.

But what irks me to no end is that despite having steering wheel audio controls, you can't go from FM1-->FM2--->AM without having to reach over and touch the screen to cycle through those presets. No source button on the steering wheel. Voice command way too cumbersome and slow as an alternative. Seems outrageously shortsighted for a 2015 vehicle.

Any chance we'll ever see a fix for this simple problem? All they would need to do is update the software so that when the FM/AM button is selected on the touchscreen, just allow the head unit to cycle through all the FM1-FM2-AM radio presets with the steering wheel control. That wouldn't even require a new source button. I'd be ok with manually pressing the touchscreen to go to a CD or SiriusXM (though the last Traverse I had would cycle up to 5 favorite pages and let you mix FM/AM/and Sirius all together. Though got 16.5 mpg with city driving as a price to pay for such convenience.)

But at least that 1 little fix seems doable.

No, this behavior will not change.

I'm annoyed by the voice recognition... For instance when you ask to play an artist "name". The car responds with:
Play artist "name"
Playing artist"name"

Why the heck does it repeat? Why even repeat back the name if it already recognizes the name?

Crappy system.

I think it might be a standard set of commands that it goes through. If it's not sure which artist you want to play, it will go:
Do you want to play artist "name"?
[you reply yes or no, if you reply yes]
Playing artist "name"

Whereas if you reply no, it starts over from the beginning and loops through again.
