Sirius / XM question

[Jalpa_Mike]

I've looked in all the manuals and online and can't seem to find an answer to this question.... Or, if its even possible.

Is there a way on the CX-5 Infortainment system to have the display scroll when listening to Sirius/XM so that you can see the entire song name and the year it was released?

Attached are a couple shots I made showing what I am talking about.

On the 70's on 7 channel you can see the song title is too long and you can't see it or the year it was released. However, if its a short song title like this one on the 90's on 9, you can see the entire title and year.

Not a huge issue, its just nice to see when songs were released. In the 2014 FIAT 500L we traded in for our 2016 CX-5, you could press a "More" key and it would show the entire song title and year released.

Thanks much!

The system does not currently do that (stock). It is capable of it, and I believe some folks are working on a script to hack the system allowing scrolling titles, but I'm not sure how progress on that is going.

Or let alone an image for the station

Just out of curiosity what are people paying for S/XM these days. We just received a reminder for my wife's Honda that it's about to expire and they're going to invoice us $204.88. No way will I pay that much. She only listens to about 6 pop stations but she does like the no-commericals or very-limited-commericals.

You can get a "just music" plan. That's what I have. They also throw in some sports and news channels as well. I've been a subscriber since they first started and threatened to cancel a few times along the way, so I am only paying around $4 a month.

Great! That's exactly what we're looking for. Thanks for the info.

I've been toying with looking at ala cart plan they have. While It won't save much....I don't listen to more than a few stations. Might be worth it, or might not.

Call them up and tell them that you will not pay that much. They will do a better deal if you ask. I have been using Sirius since 2004 and have never paid what they want. Just call them and cry.

After my 4 months free trial expired, I renewed for 5 months for $25 + taxes and when this expires, we'll see but I won't accept to pay more than $6/month. I don't listen to XM more than maybe 10hrs/month so that's the max I'll accept to pay.

Good luck--

I just activated my six month free trial subscription a few weeks ago. I asked if there were any deals for extending the trial period. They offered me an additional six months for $30.

I'm new here but I came specifically to find out about this too..! It drives me crazy and I anxiously await a solution.

I'm taking our car into the dealer on Monday so they can check the harsh engagement issue when selecting 1st gear after having it in Reverse.

I was going to ask them about this to see if there was any sort of flash upgrade that will allow the information to scroll.

I'll advise after I talk to them.

I just can't believe satellite radio is still alive and kicking. I used to have "lifetime" subscriptions for my car and my wife's back in 2005 to 2009 when streaming audio wasn't really a thing. But now, the sound quality of streaming audio far exceeds satellite - that, and the price went way up on satellite. When my free trial ends, I believe I will leave it that way. (Gotta admit though, $4/mo isn't bad if all you want is a limited subset of Sirius/XM, especially if you travel).
I wonder why they don't drop some channels and use that bandwidth to increase the quality? In my opinion, dollar for dollar, streaming Pandora, Slacker or the like sounds way better.

S/XM cost

Yes that is what they want to charge you . BUT just fight them and say "to hell with them" I just paid my sub for just under $100. It is the only radio I listen to and have had S/XM for about 4 years. Just fight them.

Getting this thread back on the OP's topic, it's bizarre to me that this feature doesn't exist for satellite radio. Just got a 2016 CX-5 and spent about 20 minutes trying to figure our if I could see the additional info and, of course, couldn't. Kind of annoying when the 2009 Mazda 6 that i traded in could.

 

[Jalpa_Mike]

Yep, it is so frustrating! Both FIAT 500's we had before the CX-5 (2012 500 Sport & 2014 500L), had the Sirius radio that scrolled any data that was too long to fit on 1 line. You always got to see the full song title and the year it was released.

The other thing I notice is that the Sirius/XM art work for each channel doesn't appear on-screen either. However, when I plug my 32GB USB stick into USB1, I can see the artwork of the album that is playing.

The display issue irritates me too. Works great on my 5 year old hyundai.
Has anyone requested a fix or enhancement? I read you can do that but not sure where or how.

How do you like your new CX5? I just bought the 2016 GS model and don't like it at all. I've owned a CX5 before. With the 2016, back up sensor beep is gone; can't figure out how to silence the radio when the NAV system is giving directions (many of us have tried!); I can't use SIRIUS; touch screen is now disabled after hitting 25 kph (before we could use it anytime) and messaging is completely disabled.
