Default Can XM Radio display station song/artist preview?

I just installed XM Radio on my 2005 A6 and I want it to display song/artist information for stations before I tune them in. Does anyone know if that is possible?

I was a very easy install, btw, with no MMI programming required.
4E0-057-593-A from Audi Parts Super Store for under $120 delivered. Also, I easily found a code somewhere on the Intertubes for 3 months free trial with no credit card (which I've since forgotten).

Thanks for your reply Reggie. The sticker says "Bose Premium Sound System". There is no navigation.

I know it will - as I have seen it on my neighbors B7 A4 - you may have to press a button to display it and be be in our setup buttons on the radio.

I have nav but check out this site they have all the technical info on the radios:http://www.ibiblio.org/tkan/audi/radios/radios.html

and this site has a good forum on the radios and multimedia:

Just as an update, I was unable to resolve this problem. Channel information appears to only be available for the tuned in channel.

My car is a 2005 and my radio is integrated into the dash. It looks like this:
