My first gripe with the Highlander - specific

[mwfromva]

OK - I have the base 6 disc stereo (non-JBL) in our Highlander Sport. The dealership had already added XM radio (I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise).

Last night, some friends and I were headed out to a local High School Football Playoff game, and we were listening to the LSU vs Arkansas (thank you, Arkansas - more room at the top for WVU!) on XM 200. On the display of the radio, it says "SAT# ARK 35 LSU 3" - the end of the score for LSU is cut off! (LSU had 35 also).

Am I missing something? My 2006 Tundra had a scroll feature, where if something didn't fit on the screen, it scrolled over every few seconds so you could see what was being displayed in it's entirety. I can't figure out how to get this to scroll, if it even can!

Any help? Or am I screwed?

While I don't have XM, my base Sport 6 disc non-JBL head unit does scroll when I use the Sat1 Input for My PIE Ipod adapter, don't know why it wouldn't scroll with XM, since it obviously has the capability. Do other XM channels with long titles scroll?

I noticed none of the titles on my MP3 disc scroll

I know that XM has a character limit. I'm not sure of the exact number, but it's definitely less than it should be. I think the limit is XM specific and not Toyota specific. Definitely annoying for what is supposed to be cutting edge technology.

No - they do not. For instance, when a song by Amy Winehouse comes on XM radio, it displays "Amy Wineho" - which admittedly, is pretty ironic, and funny.

That is funny!

I think that you're supposed to push the Text button on the radio to get it to scroll over (assuming the base radio has the Text button).

Tried that - it switches between station name and name of song and artist (or the score).
