Text Encoding - DVD / MP3 Audio text through LCD

HI I am wondering if the navi will display foreign characters in US C-Class when the audio is playing DVD mp3 audio? Name of song (if in english) will display but can someone share light if the display will show the correct name of song if the encoding is in a different language (say japanese / chinese etc)

When I play a CD with MP3's all I see is the first dozen or so characters of the track. Is there anyway to display all the characters?

It kind of sucks when you have 115 mp3's on a CD and each track is labelled with the artist followed by the song title and all you see is the artist followed by a few characters of the song title.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I just put several Thai CD's on a memory card this weekend. The Thai characters would not display. Just a rectangular box to indicate a character. However, a Japanese song title did display in Kanji.

I wish I also knew how to display the full characters. It only displays half of the song title. It would be awesome if it scrolled through the full title.

^is there an option for this? i also find it annoying that it only displays a fixed number of characters.

i can vouch for korean language displaying properly, in addition to the japanese from above.
