To rearrange radio stations on Toyota RAV4 models, set each station into the preset slot you want: tune to the station, then press and hold the preset button or tile until it is saved, which replaces what was there. Some systems also let you edit the favorites list on screen, but dragging presets into a new order is not available on every model, so check your owner’s manual for your audio system.
