Non-Nav Stereo RDS only displays in a 1" x 1" area?
Does anybody know how I can get the Song/artist to display somewhere else on the 7 inch display instead of the current 1 inch X 1 inch orange writing section the upper left on the display?
It seems retarded that I have a 7 inch display and to see the song info I have to wait for the scrolling of each single word. I see the station number in huge letters in the middle of the display, which I would prefer to be in the upper corner where the current Artist/song info is scrolling. I have checked the user manual and fiddled with the radio and see no way for the rds to utilize this rather big screen.
Again, this is the non-navigation premium stereo. I am referring to FM stations as my XM free trial has run out and I forget how that was displayed. I am thinking that XM utilized the display, which is why I am posting this question now since I have only started listen to FM radio recently.

Status does absolutely nothing to the Song/artist. It only cycles the a/c settings & mileage settings, and then blanks both out on the bottom half of the screen. It does nothing else. The artist and song are always in the left upper 1" x 1" part of this 7 inch screen with the station number in the middle in rather large numbers which is plain stupid.
Even in the view where you can scroll stations it remains the same. At least when the stations view is present, it makes sense that the song/artist are only displayed in the 1" x 1" section as there is nowhere else for it to display. When I am only viewing 1 station I expect the song and artist to display in the middle of the screen without having to scroll a 2 word short title and artist like it is currently doing in that 1x 1 area.
