I feel like this is all tied to the seat controls but it doesn't seem to work.

1. Using keyfob one, start the car.
2. Press Sound, set the bass, mid, trebel.
3. Hold down 1 on the seat, get the beeps.
4. Switch from one channel P3 to P4, sound has changed back.
5. Switch back from P4 to P3, sound is still not what I set it to.

How do I store these settings?
 
You have to set all those levels and then press and hold the button on the radio (i.e. P3, P4) and it will then save those preferences. You can then press the 1 or 2 memory button on the seat to save for each driver.

So for 12 XM radio stations and 12 FM radio stations I will have to set the bass/rebel for each one? Is there a quick way to say "set this for everything". That's really neat that it lets you customize them by station but it would be nice to put them all at a good starting point. Whoever owned this thing liked the bass a bit high.
 
Short answer, No. The following is from my 2006 owners manual. (Should be the same for all years):

Preset Station Menu​
Up to 36 stations, 6 AM, 6 FM 1, 6 FM 2, 6 XM 1,
6 XM 2, and 6 WX, if equipped, can be programmed for
home and for away. To store presets, do the following:
1. Turn the audio system on.
2. Touch AM, FM, XM, or WX, if equipped, to display
the desired source. The preset station menu will
appear.
3. Tune to the desired station by using the
TUNE/SEEK arrows.
4. Touch SOUND to set the bass, mid-range, treble,
and DSP for your preset, if desired. See “Sound
Menu” later in this section for more information.
5. Touch and hold one of the six numbered preset
buttons for more than two seconds until you hear
a beep.
6. Repeat the steps for each preset and source.​
SCAN:​
To scan stations, touch SCAN. The radio will go
to a station, play for a few seconds, then go on to the
next station. Touch SCAN again to stop scanning.
To scan preset stations, touch and hold SCAN
for two seconds. It will only scan the audio source it is
in, with the exception of FM 1 and FM 2, which will both
be scanned if in that source. Touch SCAN again to
stop scanning.

RDS (Radio Data System):​
See “Radio Data System
(RDS)” later in this section for more information.

MSG (Message):​
See “Radio Data System (RDS)” later
in this section for more information.

AutoSet:​
Touch AutoSet to replace currently stored
preset stations with the strongest stations available in
the immediate area. Touch AutoSet again to return
to the original preset stations.

SOUND:​
See “Sound Menu” following for more
information.

DSP:​
See “Adjusting the Speakers” later in this section

for more information.
