anyone else get this? I just have the BOSE radio, nothing done. It was nice to see radio stations are doing that.

That is because that station offers RDS.

I've only ever seen the station name, never a name and artist... that'd be a nice feature

Default you saying that your XM radio tunes come across your OEM radio?

Default it just got rolled out/completed in Connecticut

Although I still prefer my Sirius, I don't even have FM hooked up. Can't stand radio DJ's.

Default yep, couple stations started doing that here in the bay area

Cool feature, except the constant scrolling could get annoying at night.

Default I am getting to hate radio, especially because reception sucks in the Capital District

... my first serious 'mod' will be an MP3 capable deck. I drive 4 hours from the Albany area to the Philly area once a month, and I must hit the seek button a hundred times each trip.
