Does anyone know how to change the font on these displays so title and artist can be read without having to guess? Or, in the alternative, is there a way to make that information scroll across the screen? ---

Is there a button marked Text? Press it. ---

Try pushing the tuner knob. I think it will then show the second half of the title/artist. ---

is there anything listed in your owner’s manual about this? I’m sure it should be in there. ---

I do…same problem. Large text, and no way to scroll through it. ---

I’ve checked and no, there’s nothing because the XM tuner unit is an add-on. While it’s made to function with the radio, it has no information of its own. ---

That’s one I haven’t tried or heard of…I’ll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion. ---

Go back to the dealer and tell them you need the XM Manual they forgot to include with the XM unit. It sometimes happens with add on items. ---

Good idea…my dealer is still in business, so I’ll give that a try. Thanks much!
