More info on XM music displayed

One of the XM stations I listen to is Classical (ch. 76). In my 2015 TLX I could see the name of piece of music and also the composer on another line, I believe, all on the upper screen, although it might have only appeared on the lower screen. In my 2018 base TLX, I currently get a few words of the title of the piece and no listing of the composer at all, only on the bottom screen. Two queries: can I get the composer listed along with the name of the piece on the lower screen and also,can I get that complete information displayed on the upper screen??

Thanks

This honestly drives me nuts too. It shows the genre of music but not the band? Pretty stupid

I suppose that it is an Acura issue, not a XM issue.. But I did get the complete infor on my 2015 TLX so it is possible... Perhaps when they went to "improve" the information/controls screens, they removed that option.

There is an info screen that will display the song title, artist name, and album artwork (when available). On the 2018, I've found that the only music information displayed on the upper screen is through Android Auto or Car Play.

Press the Info button under Source to get to the info screen:

I still think it's annoying that you have to press the info button to see what artist is playing. First world problem I suppose.
