Display song list in dash?

I wirelessly synced my iPhone 4S (Bluetooth) to my 2012 E350 to playing music, and make/receive phone calls.

Question: Is there any way for the digital display in the dash to display the list of songs from my playlist? Currrently, I can only see the name of the song that is currently playing, but not the previous or the next track..so when I hit next (+1 or -1), I am basically blindly going through my playlist.

Any input is much appreciated.

BT audio wont display your playlist. The only way is hooking it to your USB adapter in the dash. Thats the only down fall of BT audio. You have to literally scroll through your phont to select the song or playlist you want.

Does anyone know what the bitrate is for Bluetooth Audio? I think another drawback of this could be audio quality. I have encoded my entire music library into a loss-less format so I maintain the same audio quality as CD audio which is about 300-500+ kbps based on the music. I wonder if Bluetooth audio maintains the same quality of the audio stream...

I upgraded the hard drive of my iPod to 220GB as my music library is all lossless and is about 200+ GB and I keep it permanently plugged into my car.

I think the best car audio interface I have seen is in the 2010+ Acura MDX. After it scans your iPod, it actually voice tags your songs, artists, etc, so you can just say what you like to listen. And it shows you all the songs on a list...

I don't like the sound quality when I use the bluetooth interface. Kinda muffled ..

Nothing beats a SACD quality . I tested this trying various stuffs
You are most likely aware of what I am gonna say but I thought it would be a good idea to chime in here
You can indivually set up bass / tremble and balance for each input device . So, if you adjust and change the settings for Music Register , you should also do it for Bluetooth Audio or USB , Aux and other things
BTW, I think your phone's audio settings are important to get the optimum sound from your Bletooth Audio as well
