I like the RDS to display the name and artist of the song, but it really screws up the preset station IDs. When I first set the RDS to "on," a Kenny Chesney song was playing on the one station, so the station ID is showing as "KENNY" and not WPOC, like it should. WIYY is showing as "MICKEY" because that is part of the name of the morning show.

Does anyone else experience this?

The screen is small for all the characters to be displayed at the same time so it scrolls through (SONG, ARTIST & STATION).

Doesn't it depend on how the station chooses to broadcast the information. I know some stations by me only read the station's call sign on the display while others display what is described above.

Powerbrake it. Its a loaner!

I know what you mean about the older 4.4's. I have an 02 4.4 and the power feels instant.

That's not what I'm talking about. This is on the station preset list and it doesn't scroll.

Yes, BUT it should change when the station changes their display information. On my E53, it changes. On the E70, it doesn't.
