Sirius Question

![Default](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Just had the Cayenne Sirius kit installed in my 05 cab. A little pricey but it works great. Was wondering if others with this install are able to receive the RDS information (artist and song) on the screen. My wife's BMW does this and was wondering if this is a problem or the way it works in a porsche. Thanks for the help.

The difference is that on the Cayenne when you push the info button you get the choice of GPS info or Radio info. On my 997 I can only get GPS info, there isn't a Radio choice.
So, I don't know how you would get it to show you that info (if it is even available with the 997 install).

Did they fully "enable" the satellite on your PCM? You should also be able to adjust bass/treble from the PCM as well as artist etc.
I'm still playing with my satellite as well. It does get drop-outs around tree lined roads but other than that, it works well.

Deanski,
I am not sure what you mean "...Did they fully "enable" the satellite on your PCM...". All of the satellite functions seam to work correctly except I am not able to see the current artist or song when I am on the "main" screen. Am I doing something wrong or looking in the wrong place?
Thanks,
Lenny

Has anyone with the Sirius sat kit installed in their 997 get it to display the artist and song titles yet?
There's got to be something that the PWIS system enables to the kit or pushes data to the unit to also display that info AND the Sirius dog logo like the pics from the very first install in California.

On the old 20 page thread about satalite radio installation, there were pictures of someone's Sirius radio display with artist and song titles. I am having mine installed next week, so we will see. I bet it is a matter of figuring out what combination of button pusing it wants. A great example is the 3 step process to mute the radio.

The info button should give you a radiotext option that shows the artist, song, etc. I had the Cayenne kit installed in my 05 997 and it works great. Even in the garage.

OMG, I cannot beleive this thread, although I had xm installed prior, I just had it installed today thru the PCM.
NOW...... the sound is awesome ! Much cleaner and better than before, however I also cannot find a way to display Artist and Song?
I have a 2006 997, with the Cayenne install.
Help anyone, but i love it, so if this is it, it is it.

I figured it out. Go to INFO and AUDIOTEXT (or something like that). I would have thought that it would appear on the MAIN screen as it does for the other radio bands but I guess that is not the case.

Would be nice if it displayed like a normal satellite radio...
