I know that one of these issues (lack of a power button) has been discussed earlier, but here are the two things that I have been very surprised to find missing from the radio (8.4 Uconnect - the "Nav ready" version, not the one with Nav & HD radio).
1. No way to turn the radio off - you can mute the radio, but be careful doing so because it will turn on to whatever volume level you last had. I think the other solution was to select a different media option to effectively "turn off" the radio.


2. No scan feature - unless I'm missing something, there isn't a way to press a button and have the radio scan through stations. I know having more steering wheel buttons and the voice command stuff makes this less important, but it is a feature that I miss (and one I though was pretty universal).

For me, the mute function effectively negates my need to turn it off. What I do wish I could do is scroll through my presets from the steering wheel in both the forward and backward direction. I'd find this way more useful than the tuning option it currently allows for.

I have a Limited and assuming your's works the same as mine I can scan through my preset stations by pressing the left hand middle (round) button on the back on the steering wheel. The up & down buttons let you scan available stations. I do this on FM radio, I haven't set any stations on Sirius as I doubt I'll pay for it once the trial period is up. And, it works exactly the same as it did on my 2003 Town & Country.

By scan, I mean you press a button and and the radio seeks the next station, plays it for a few moments, then goes to the next station automatically. Then it would keep doing that until I press scan again to stop it if I liked the song.
