Another gremlin..
 
OK, first it was the dice in the cemetary nav map (see my other post), which still hasn't gone away, but today I was driving the X north past Newark airport when suddenly the name and the artist of the song on the FM channel I was listening to was where the clock normally is in the cluster.

Now I swear to donuts, I pushed no buttons, turned no switches, did absolutely nothing... after a while it went away, and even though I have the RDY and INF boxes checked, I only get the time, date, and consumption (the boxes I checked on the command screen).

There is no DICE, no XM, no Sirius, just plain old AM-FM and tape behind the navi..

This is getting mighty spooky...

Ideas???

And yes, I read the manual too...

if RDS is on, and you change the channel, it often times will display the name of the artist/title in the cluster as well as on the radio. this is not related to the options that you can toggle through on the cluster as you had suggested though. but dont worry, no gremlins, just normal!

I dont think so. Since I have Nav, 99% of the time I have a full screen map displayed. I was seeing the artist and song (which I do see if I change channels) PERMANENTLY in the 3 lines in the center of the console (speedo/tach).

And then it just stopped...

Gotta be somethin up with that...

But thanks for the reply.

Yeah permanently is not normal, it should only appear when you are changing the channel for about 10 seconds or so. If it stopped doing it thought it sounds like a fluke of some sort.
