CD Text?

Being a car audio enthusiast and considering buying the 04 TL, there are some tradeoffs that I need some info on. I know that as good as the stock sound system might be, it won't be on par with a good aftermarket one. For those who have used or purchased the vehicle, does the stereo display CD text or radio station ID info?

So I wonder, Like some people said if you take CD's and put them on a DVD Disc, and play them, will they play?

Than have them show CD Text!

That would actually be better than MP3 CD PLayer, It would about or less than a MP3 CD, Give more Quality, and show Song Text!!

I do not see how there would be any change in quality. Quality is primarily determined by sample rate, not CD-R or DVD-R.

I wish the TL had RDS for the radio, but I do not think it does.

I really doubt that it displays CD Text for the following two reasons:

1) No factory radio that I've ever seen does this.

2) The TL doesn't even display song names on a DVD-Audio disc (at least from the photos I've seen).

I meant, if you take your own legally owned Bought CD's and put them straight onto a DVD-A Drive, no converting to MP3 Compression..

Well I just went and checked the TL. It does not display CD-TEXT however, it will read burned discs with no problems.

So you could burn DVDs of your current CDs but navigating them might be a bit tricky.

I don't personally know of tons, but I do know the 2003 Pathfinder Bose system shows both CD text and RDS.

The factory changer will read CD-R discs just fine, but Acura clearly states that it will not read DVD-R discs. So much for burning your music onto blank DVDs.

Weeeg, you were listing the cars that show song names. What happened? Also there are 5 DVD burnind standards, and I've found DVD+R to be the most compatible, but who knows if they'll actually play.

You CANNOT copy CDs to DVD-A! They are incompatible formats. CDs are 16-bit 44.1kHZ 2-channel PCM, whereas DVD-A incorporates high frequency sampling, Meridian Lossless Packing, and is a multichannel format!!!

Nope, I was the one asking for the list of cars that show song names.

So are the Pathfinder & Maxima the only two cars that show CD-Text?
