GQRilla Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah capper, I mean come on! You have responses from 2 or 3 dudes on the internet! If we can't trust what we read on the internet, what can we trust? Obviously everyone in these forums are experts and have hands on knowledge of the inner workings of every product made for the car. Silly. Just silly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR. WOMO Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 You're right, GQRilla- not everybody on these boards is an expert; just the ones that give you the answer you really want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm sorry if my answer was curt, I certainly didn't mean for it to be rude, I was just trying to answer the question definitively. As Mike mentioned, we've put a lot of work into the FAQ's in each forum (with a lot left to do), in the hopes of limiting repetitive questions, so it's frustrating when something that has already been covered comes up again. I never purported to be an expert (on anything), but I do have an intimate knowledge of Pioneer's design and protocol, and can assure that this is a limitation of the tuner itself, it's only capable of pulling one "set" of information for the current channel at a time.

dwight1947 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 When you say Tuner are you talking about the Sirius Unit or the Pioneer Unit? I have one of the Sirius Units plugged into a USB interface to my PC and the PC software can display all items at the same time. In fact it has 1 screen that shows all channels at once with the title and artist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norcalmike Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 The Kenwood DNX5120 uses the same Sirius tuner module. Only one line of info just like the Pioneer. The newer tuners are smaller and I guess dont support 3 lines of info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just pulled a DNX5120 out of my car last weekend to put in my F90BT. The Sirius interface is virtually identical. One line of information. That you can change to show Station, Artist , composer, or song. Pic of my DNX5120 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
capper Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Well I'm sorry but I had the same unit. It shows more than one line. Read the manual! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norcalmike Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 For the category list yes. For all the info on song artist and station on one channel you are listening to, No it does not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GQRilla Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 For the category list yes. For all the info on song artist and station on one channel you are listening to, No it does not If you select "4line" from the bottom buttons it shows 4 lines of info and you can select what each line shows. Maybe that's where it displays sirius artwork. As for the Pioneer, I agree that it's the sb10 adapter, not the sirius tuner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
capper Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Correct, GQRilla. Select 4 line and you can see multiple lines of Sirius info. Norcalmike, I hope you didn't get rid of it because you couldn't get all the info at once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norcalmike Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'll take your word for it. Never saw that in the manual. That was never that important to me anyway. I liked the Kenwood but the main reason I switched was the bluetooth unit didn't work that well with my iPhone 3G. Kenwood released an iPhone 3G specific bluetooth update that made the call quality acceptable. But most of the other features wouldn't work, no phonebook download and the voice control for bluetooth was useless. Now that I have been using the Pioneer I find the IGO nav actually routes better than the Garmin in the Kenwood did. At least for me. And the Pioneer sounds 10 times better. Maybe its the 4 volt preouts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
