Question about radio and CD player

Is it possible to display the name of the track on the CD or the name of the song on the radio? My friend has a B5 Audi A4 (first gen) and the Bose sound system and in his car on the radio screen you can see the name of the song being played and the artist, from the radio... Is this possible on the W210?

Also, is it possible for it to show the name of the song on the instrument cluster or radio screen, instead of it saying "Track 5" for example.

Sadly, no. You can't display song data, nor can the system push it out to the dash cluster. The newer MOST systems can. The W210 uses a D2B audio bus instead.

Oh ok, I see. I just thought that it was weird that a base A4 would have it and our cars wouldn't. Thanks.
