mine just automatically scrolls the text

Really? I have to manually press the Text button to see the name of the song. Now when you say "scroll" I'm thinking it moves like a billboard sign. Is there something that I should set for it to automatically come up? I mean, you have the exact same one as me.

what it does is post parts of the title or whatever can fit within the display at a time. example:

30 SECONDS
TO MARS
THE KILL 94.5
THE BUZZ

band, song, radio station, call letters

i don't have to hit text to move the display. it just does it automatically.

To turn the RDS function on or off, press the Menu button twice, then select on or off with the up/down arrow button.
To get the additional info by pressing the Seek button depends upon if the station is transmitting that data.
Of the half-dozen local FM stations I can receive, only two transmit RDS data and it is only their call letters. With the text button you can choose between call letters and type (such as "Rock") to be displayed.

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. I have the Sirius Satellite and my local stations do provide the data.

Yea, RDS is kinda neat for the extra info bit. Here's another tip that isn't in the manual:

Holding buttons 3 and 6 in will run diagnostics on your radio, show you information such as software version, DTCs (radio-specific?), signal strength, and other stuff. I learned this while I was working for Eaton Corp. as a technical support guy supporting vehicle diagnostics products, and the Toughbooks had the Ford service manuals loaded onto them. Quite a bit of useful information in there on the Mustangs, my only regret is not making a copy, LOL...

Does anyone know how to fix this problem??? I play a lot of CD's where the songs blend from one to the next. The Shaker 500 stereo will put a pause between songs...it's really annoying.
