How to get Chinese characters to display...

I have a 2008 C300, is it possible to have Chinese characters to display on the the cluster instead of just blocks? I would like to see the name of the song when I play my Chinese music, but it will not display the Chinese characters, only shows blocks. Is there any upgrade to fix this?

I don't think there is - at the moment... The only place that does display Chinese/Japanese character set (that I know of) is via the MM screen.

Would be interested to know if there were a fix out there...

that is correct, it is not possible to display chinese characters on regular stereo, only MM can do it. I do hope there is some kind of update that can allow this...
