content: How to Use the Seek Switch for Playlists

Ever fumbled with your Palisade’s controls while driving, trying to skip a song or switch stations quickly? You’re not alone. This article breaks down exactly how to use the Seek switch for both playlists (via Bluetooth) and radio—no more guesswork.

The video transcript we analyzed gives clear steps, and I’ve added practical tips to help you master these controls in minutes. Let’s dive in.

Quick Succession Presses for Playlist Jumps

When streaming a playlist via Bluetooth, pressing the Seek switch up or down quickly in succession lets you jump between songs. This is perfect for skimming through your playlist without waiting for a track to end.

Single Presses for Precise Playlist Control

Once a song starts playing:

  • Pressing up on the Seek switch restarts the current song (great if you missed a lyric or want to replay a favorite part).
  • Pressing down skips to the next song in the playlist.

Many drivers overlook this single-press trick—don’t make that mistake.

Preset Station Navigation

For radio stations:

  • Pressing up moves to the previous station or preset (ideal if you want to go back to a station you just left).
  • Pressing down goes to the next station or preset.

This works for both FM/AM radio and any saved presets you’ve set up.

No Screen Required

One of the most useful features? This control works whether or not the media or radio screen is displayed. You don’t have to take your eyes off the road—critical for safe driving.
