XM Display Question
Hey all you XM gurus out there...
I searched the forums but XM is too short of a search term and I didn't see any threads yet to answer my question.
In all of my previous vehicles with satellite radio installed the display would scroll the artist and song name for each song that was playing. In the HHR I can only find out how to select it to display EITHER the artist OR the song name (or the channel name or the channel category).
Is there a way to make the XM scroll which artist and song you are listening to much like the FM channels do? I listen to the emerging artists rock station a lot and would love to know the band name AND the song name without having to change the display on each song.
Anyone have any ideas?

I used to have a Roady and it didn't scroll but it did have 2 lines of text and was able to display both artist and song title at the same time.
Well at least I know I am not going totally crazy then if no one has been able to get it to work.
Thanks everyone.

Yes you have to hit it to see information like the song title or artist.

Like when listening to the FM radio it will scroll Channel, Channel's Motto, Artist and Song Title.
Ah well... I can live without it just wanted to know if I was missing something.
