FM song titles?
On the other benz forum theres a thread that states the radio displays the title of the songs currently playing on the radio stations....has anyone encountered this...i only get the frequency or the selected preset displayed and no song title...is there a way to turn this on and off? or do i need an update of some sort?

There is nothing wrong with your radio if your not seeing the artist and song titles of fm radio and you don't need any sort of update. Not all radio stations broadcast using the RDS function, in my area there are only two or three that do.

Although I have the nav screen, only certain stations broadcast the info, and it's not always on or flowing.
It could make calling into stations for 'guess that artist' a little easier

ok...I figured out how to get the RDS data (song title/ artist data) to show...
Pretty simple really:
On the Audio 20 radio screen use control wheel to jump down to "Radio" on the bottom left of the screen and select (push down on center of control wheel).
There are two choices in the drop down. Choose the bottom one "Show Station Info" and select (push center of control wheel). It will then show a check box on the selection.
Hit the "back button" until you are back to the main radio screen.
The song title and artist data will read out on the top of the screen..
Pretty Cool!
