It shows title info when a song starts (artist first then switches to song title, I believe, or maybe its the other way around), then it reverts to showing the elapsed time. I've yet to figure if its possible to have it remain on the song title, in case I was using the map and didn't have the audio or trip computer screen showing.

no i meant the display where the time is, does the title of the song or the artist appear there?

Yes, I understood that's what you meant and I guess my answer seemed a little ambiguous. Sorry about that, thinking too quickly. It does show the artist info near the clock, but like I said, only when a new song starts for a short moment, before if reverts to dislaying the elapsed time for the song.

I just went and checked my iSimple stays on the track title. I think you can change it somehow. I want to change it to stay on the artist. Pretty sure it used to stay on the artist before because I took a pic of it.

I tried mucking around with it, maybe I was too excited about getting it to work and skipped over something that causes that. I'll spend some time on the weekend and try all of the audio buttons again.

So another weekend and I've added one more touch which I've wanted to do on the car but wasn't sure how until I did some reading and searching:





I need to remember: Cell phones are for making calls not taking pictures. But I was anxious about getting it done and covered in dust from the plastic when working with the rotarty tool to fix the inserts, so I could not get back into the house to get the camera. I'll wash her and take some better pics tomorrow if the weather permits.

I figured it out the other day, hit the disp/mode button located right next to the XM button. You can then cycle between what you want displayed up there.

Thanks, but Canadian models don't get the disp/mode button, so that won't work. I tried fiddling with the other controls but its the usual functions: skip, repeat, random, back, playlist, etc. Nothing to change the sub-display..

Not a big deal, but I'm just picky sometimes when I do stuff.

If you switch it to iPod mode when press the mode button on your steering wheel and use the tuning knob, then all control is transferred to the radio, i.e. random, selecting, repeat, skip, etc. If you leave it (the radio mode) in AUX mode, then you can control the tunes from the ipod itself. Hope that makes sense. I'm so out of it right now...
