Are song titles supposed to show up when listening to FM?

I noticed that with my old factory head unit certain stations would show the song titles when playing, but when I listen to the radio on my D3 they dont come up. Is that how everyones is? Its no big deal cause I barely listen to the radio- I was just wondering...

No, the D3 doesn't have RDS. It only displays the radio station's frequency, and that's it.

That will not show up unless you have xm navtraffic either.

Don't feel bad mine doesn't show the titles either,I have an Eclipse.Just play your MP3's for titles.

Nope, no song titles in FM...yet another missing feature that makes me sorry I bought the D3. Who would even guess they'd leave that out, when every cheap factory radio these days displays FM song titles ("RDS" ?)

 

Almost every other new touch-screen in-dash unit it looking better than this thing. I'll probably move to the Alpine Blackbird or the Kenwood 5120 later this year.

I have the european version of the D3 and it has RDS 8)

Problem is, here in Sweden the radio channels mostly use it for commercial messages, i.e. no song titles.
