Radio Station and Song Identification-Radio Data System

Does anyone know if our cars have the feature of identifying the song or radio station information? On my old car, the Lexus IS250, it would display the song and radio station on certain stations. For example when I was listening to KIIS FM, it would display the current song playing. I think it's called Radio Data System. Also, are there any other displays when listening to FM other then the boring FM frequency "ruler" display?

yea our cars do.

I'm not sure about how to do it exactly, but i think to activate you do this:
1. Go to the audio
2. Go to radio
3. Go down to the bottom-most row of the screen
4. I think its in the options/settings menu there

Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong

Cool, I just did that too. Not really sure why they wouldn't make it on (or even have an option to turn it of) by default
