What is this symbol?

What is the symbol to the right of the highlighted radio station?
I know the picture is bad, I stole it off the internet!
Thanks!

It's a disk symbol. It means you can save that song or artist to your favorites category on the satellite radio

Really? What if it shows up for a radio station? Does that mean I can save the song playing? I did not think I had the capability to save songs, I don't think I have a hard drive since I don't have navigation. I really hope I can!

And if I can...how do I do it???

Thank you!!

Thanks!

The button is your 'preset' icon. You select the radio station you would like to list in your preset list, and press the 'enter' button twice. It then saves that station in your preset list of radio/satellite stations. Then, in the future (not in your preset list) when you are surfing for new stations, the icon will appear next to those stations you've got preset in your list. I can't comment on non nav systems, but I would be surprised if this feature isn't on the base radio system.

After storing the station you are interested in by hitting the enter button twice, it should put you in your preset list of stations. You'll see those stations you've saved. If you want to go directly to your saved list of stations, just select the 'radio' button, and then the menu list to 'presave'.

Ok, that makes sense! I was hoping it meant I could save music to a hard drive.
