What up Freek?

I am in Atlanta GA and mine DOES display it. It is not something I set, it automatically shows in mine and always has. Have you checked the radio options by holding down the scan button until it goes into option mode? There may be a setting for it there... hope this helps!:iono:

Go hold down the scan button, when you get to the option of "Scroling text" turn it on, that way it will enable everything to displace, station, song name and artist


actually if i remember right...that scrolling text only works for CD's

i know it doesnt work for my Satilite..and im pretty sure it doesnt work for my RDS when it comes on
