Default RS 3.0 Headunit Question: text display

Tried doing a search both on here and in my manual...but couldn't seem to find any info.

I have the text feature with my XM radio, however it only displays the first 10 or so characters for the song or artist name. I had a similar feature in my SVTF where it would scroll the entire name if it exceeded the number of characters on the LED screen. How can I get the text to scroll on the RS 3.0 radio? I'm usually really good at figuring this stuff out, but this issue has me absolutely stumped.

Thanks for the help.

According to the thoughts in this thread:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...568&highlight=
the answer is: no go. The manual for the stereo (on page 43) has a notice that says "NOTICE: The Channel Name, Song Name or Artist Name can contain up to 10 characters". If anyone finds a way around this, please post!

Ahhh...thanks for the link. Whoever decided to NOT put a scrolling text feature on this radio needs a swift kick to the crotch. Seriously...how many song titles and artist names out there are 10-characters or less.

Hold down the TEXT button for a few seconds and it will show the next 10(?) characters. That is how it is on my xA head unit. I am not sure if it is same one as you're talking about.
