I can't find any info on how to display all the text from XM channels. Is there a way to get the text to scroll? I'm using the GEX-P920XM tuner.

 

Also, it seems to take awhile to get the XM channel icons to show. Is this an issue or am I maybe doing something wrong?

 

Thanks.

text that don't fit will be cut off, there is no scrolling.

Thanks much.

Also, pretty ridiculous on the part of Pioneer. $80 hand-held XM radios have been able to scroll entire song titles for years....but a $1000 in-dash unit can't?? Really, Pioneer?? Plus, they've had since the D3 to fix this problem. lol

I agree. Maybe there's some way to change to a narrower font that would allow more characters on the line...

 

anybody?

Not possible.

Another example of Pioneer getting the simple shit wrong because they spend too much time worrying about complex shit.

 

For example, my buddy says he'd GLADLY get rid of the questionable "Music Sphere" (e.g., probably 10,000 lines of code that Pioneer spent god knows how much time on) on his X920BT if it would properly scroll full XM and Sirius music info (e.g., 4 lines of code and five minutes work by a competent programmer).

 

Besides, the Genius feature in iTunes creates playlists much like MusicSphere, but in a superior way.

 

I just don't GET Pioneer sometimes...

And how about that useless EcoRoute shit?

Good point...unless one's car is a Hybrid or electric, one is DEFINITELY an earth-killer. So having Eco-Route on a gas-powered car is like rating a murderer as "doing better" because he's killed fewer people today.
