I don’t think so. I’ve had a couple cars with one and you could always rewind Sirius and FM. Don’t know for sure on the st.

You can rewind Sirius on these cars, I don't know about FM. That is with the SiriusXM tuner part of the system though.

Huh, I’ll have to check that out. The time I tried it I could only get it to change stations. Granted I spent a minute or less. Thanks for that.

I've had 2 Lincolns and now this ST with SiriusXM and you can set alerts for favorite artists and song tracks as well as rewind live radio. I love using these features but don't think they're available on "free" radio.

How do you 'rewind' Sirius on the ST? I could do it with my previous vehicle (2019 Mazda CX-9 GT) but haven't figured out how it is possible with the Explorer.

My 2020 has a replay button next to the alert button. Then you use the arrows to rewind like on a DVR or video player.

This is the button you push, and it’ll pull up whether you want to fast forward or backward the song. IMG_4072.jpeg

It should be different on the new infotainment screen on the 2025 model. Yours is same as mine, which is Sync 3.

Thanks, I thought in the past when I pressed that rear facing arrow it changed my station to the next saved favorite. I'll have to try it again.

There are 2 different sets of arrows. The inner set, with the pause button, move back and forth in the song. The outer arrows change the channels.

I could be wrong, but I swear I heard a car reviewer mention you could add some additional apps and games to the new Digital Experience infotainment system. That would imply an accessible storage system. Maybe not a physical hard drive, but probably an SSD (solid state drive).
Edit: I'll play around with mine and see what I can find out.

Well I can confirm storage.
Looks like 128GB SSD drive

Can we transfer music from a thumb drive? I have been playing music off the USB drive but maybe I can start adding albums.
Your guess is as good as mine. I've only had it a few weeks.
