Default Sirius Satellite Radio

My new A4 comes with a 3 month trial subscription to Sirius. I had XM (installed) in my previous car. I liked XM radio quite a bit. Really liked the way it displayed the Title and Artist of the song playing. I actually learned a lot about music and its history from seeing that info. Unfortunately, the info displayed by Sirius is just the station number. Have I overlooked something? Is there a way to display the song title and artist? How about if I sign up after my trial period ends? Is it possible to subscribe to XM and have it fully integrated? Thanks.

There's a setting you can set called "display song info" or something to that effect. Forget the direct path to get there, but its under settings when you are in SAT mode. This will show the song information in the main screen where it lists all the stations. Unfortunately I dont think it shows it in the presets view.

Got it! Thanks. I'm a happy guy now.

When you are on your pre-sets it will only display the channel. if you would like to see the band and song name simply press the pre-sets button so that it goes back to the full channel list and the name will appear within 5 sec. They really need to make an upgrade so that it shows when in the pre-sets menu.
