Default I just figured out that my radio gives info.....

I was told from my dealer that the 6 disc changer doesn't display the name of the artist/song title. I was playing around with my radio today and noticed the little "i" on the radio. I pushed it and it said "no info". Then I pushed the button that says "Disp"....and low and behold it prints out everything........I guess the selling dealer doesn't know that much about their own radios...go figure......

my '03 H2 displays the song on the radio, assuming the station broadcasts it, but nothing from a cd other than track number.

My XM gives the artist/title info, my regular FM band does not. I haven't tried CDs.

XM does, FM shouldn't, CDs don't.

FM only does it on mine if the station broadcasts the data. my XM is an addon, connected with an FM modulator, so only the XM panel itself shows anything. not that i can see it under the dash anyway . . . . . . [>:]

For XM, all you have to do is hit "Disp" and it will cycle you through the artist, song and category for the song being played. If you hit it once, it will cycle through. You can also keep hitting Disp to force it past artist to song, etc. [/align]

you can also permanently change the display to artist or song by holding down the display button for 3-5 seconds when you decide which one you want (while cycling thru).
