Im guessing its kinda like that cell phone from Verizon that has that "music catcher" thing. I dunno how it works but its pretty cool tho. I cant count the times Ive heard a song on the radio that i liked and didnt know the artist or title. What HU do you have Marc?

Depends on the HU and the station you are listening to.

The song/artist info feature on FM radio is called RDS. Not many aftermarket radios support it, some stock ones do.

My dad's 300m and moms chrysler town and country mini van (want it so bad to put a huge system in it) both have stock HUs that display song & artist name I like that feature but I hardly ever listen to the radio unless the Opie and Anthony Show is on (FTW).
