Default MMI Sirius display of artist / track info

I am looking for a way to get the MMI to display, in a scrolling fashion, the complete information regarding Artist and Track associated with music being played using the Sirius controller. Currently I only see a truncated version. Unlike the FM display which offers a scroll of the data.

Default follow these steps:

1. move to Germany.
2. obtain job in Audi software dept.
3. re-write MMI/Sirius module software API and add scrolling function.
4. deliver code upgrade CD to all customers.
5. congratulate self on job well done.

alternative ending:
1. call AoA and complain.
2. repeat step 1.

Alternative Ending doesn't work that well, but it makes you feel better sometimes when you know someone else is going to have just as bad a day as you are. :-) because they can't hang up. LOL

Default Ditto the LOL, but someone previously said the problem is with the Kenwood receiver.

If true, Audi needs to find a different vendor, since even the cheapest Sirius/XM radios provide scrolling displays.
