Does the OEM Radio display song title?
If so, I can't figure out how to get it to do so.
If not, that seems a little backward for a unit that has so many other features. Mine is an '06.

If 1) your source of programming was recorded with the title and artist info, and 2) you select "Audio" for your COMAND screen display, or 3) do what srknutson suggested, you will see song title on the COMAND display.
If the source material did not have song titles recorded with the music, it will not display. This would particularly show up if you did not select the option to burn ID Tag 3 information if you burn mp3 discs.
The radio does not display song titles for over-the-air broadcasts on U.S. specification units - an annoyance.
If you have an aftermarket uniit such as the Dension Gateway 500 iPod adapter, you should be able to see song titles from your iPod on the COMAND display.

Thanks Skylaw -- I was looking for the "Info" button, and couldn't find it.
I agree, it is a nuisance that you don't get over the air data in the US version.
I suspect that in the next few months, I will undertake the iPod integration described by you.
