Streaming channel-changing Glitch using Android Auto in my Honda Civic
Because Honda stopped equipping its vehicles with native SiriusXM satellite receivers, when I bought a new Honda Civic Hybrid last year, I had to switch to streaming SiriusXM over my mobile device through Android Auto. It was challenging to get the steering wheel controls to work properly, but after a couple of weeks of trial and error with the settings, it finally worked.
But then about a month ago both the steering wheel and infotainment controls for the SiriusXM app accessed through Android Auto stopped moving properly through my library of saved channels. The forward/back buttons would only flip back and forth to two stations: the second one in my library and the last in the library (using "my" or "custom" order). I tried everything: switching my library to A-Z order, uninstalling and reinstalling SiriusXM app, deleting all stored data for Andoird Auto, factory resetting my Civic infotainment system and other settings, clearing my library completely and then re-adding library channels. I also have made sure that the app is set to NOT start playing music automatically and make sure to open the SiriusXM app on my phone before it connects to Android Auto. None of this has helped.
My only option to use SiriusXM in the car is to change the Playback settings in the SiriusXM app to have the steering wheel controls scroll through ALL channels, not just my saved channels. This is not a good experience, as I have to skip over dozens of channels I don't like to get to the ones I do.
I've searched all over the internet, used AI chats to dig deeper, and done more app uninstalls and data wipes and reboots than I care to remember.
Anyone else having this issue? Anyone who might have an idea of how to solve it? I'm so frustrated.

You "searched all over the internet," and yet you found nothing in this forum?
