Radio on and off control
newbie here, just picked up my F type R coupe a few weeks ago and finally got around to setting up my “favorites” on the Sirius satellite radio. Figured that one out, but couldn’t see where the radio can be turned off ( is it always on?) and the volume controls are only on the steering wheel controls (left side up and down arrows). Am I correct with these two guesses or did I miss something? Oh, by the way, came from new GTR, new Z06 and new Challenger Hellcat. Really like this new little beast!

There is a small audio control knob to the right of the gear shift handle. Pushing on button turns audio system on and off as well as rotating the knob controls the volume. Did you get the Owners manual and quick start guide? Also what year is your car?

And the beauty of the audio system on/off button is you don't need to turn the car on (not even to just "accessories") before it works, saves lots of mucking about.
Only problem though is the infuriating JLR battery saving system which automatically shuts the audio down after 10 minutes of play, so you have to hit the button again to turn it back on.

Yep, I received all the manuals with the car. I struggle with finding answers with these UK manuals, though. Tried to get an answer last evening going thru the manuals and came up with zero. Had the same issue with trying to find the engine break in procedure. Those blokes don’t write owners manuals like us Yankees do. Heck, engine break in is always listed in American cars in the very beginning of the O/M and listed in the index. Love the car, though, just kinda been figuring it out as I go along whistling....but those 2 radio questions baffled me. I’ll check it out when I get my car back, being Ceramic Pro coated right now....you know, black is beautiful, but a b*tch to take care of. Ceramic Pro makes it easy!!

This is absolutely bazaar! I never even tried that knob simply because the dealer employee who demo'd all the controls and showed me what did what (you know the drill, they tell you 500 things and you remember maybe 10!) , told me that it was a power outlet (a.k.a. cigarette lighter) and the "knob" in it was just a dummy. How about that for horse manure! Can't wait to try it out when I get the car back....thanks, everyone!

This conversation reminds me I need to pull out my manual to find something. Although if anyone knows off the top of their heads, I'll take that. I've added songs to my memory and now have no idea how to access said memory. I remember them telling me how to save CDs into the "changer" memory, but can't figure out where it goes if you're listening to something and hit the add to memory. I keep forgetting to look at the manual for it.
And yes, the auto play seems automatic, but I have discovered that it seems to go to whatever app I was last using (Podcast, Spotify and if nothing, then it defaults to iTunes). And the easy way around is like Unhingd says - I generally leave it on Sirius so when I get in, it's there and not automatically pulling from my phone.

I believe what you're referring to is a feature of Sirius/XM (which I've never used.) Tell it you like a song, and it will give you an alert when it's playing on any of the S/XM channels. Doesn't actually save the song.
Don't know if you can review the list of 'saved' songs.
