[Sync3 - can't change preset bank or audio source from steering wheel]

I'll try using the voice commands, although I usually have my phone connected with CarPlay active, so the voice commands aren't available.

OK we'll agree to disagree . Seems like many vehicles (including other Ford vehicles) have a steering wheel button to change audio source with one button press, and I find that less distracting.

Yep, that's how it done with the touch screen. But looking away from the road for 2-3 seconds to change the audio source is not ideal.

I have a 2017 Fusion Hybrid with Sync 3. I am really frustrated with being unable to change audio source or preset bank without multiple touches of the touch screen. The manual shows that some models have a Media button on the steering wheel, but my vehicle has a voice control button there instead. The cluster 4-way pad on the right side of the steering wheel is also not helpful and requires moving in and out of nested menus to change the station or source.

 

Has anyone found any solution to this? It would be great if the seek button would just cycle from one preset bank to the next, or better yet, if the presets were independent of source entirely.

Is the driver's seat any different for 2017? They look different in the pictures compared to the 2016s. I test drove a 2016 Energi and did not find the seat very comfortable. Front to back depth of the seat was too little so there wasn't much thigh support.
