Its not a Lexus issue. It's XM's crap service. XM can only transmit 16 characters. Sirius on the other hand can tranmit 32. So there is no fix unless Lexus starts installing OEM Sirius equipment instead of the old XM crap.

No, that's wrong. I don't know if its a Lexus issue, but XM does transmit the full title. My wife has the Audiovox XM3pi portable radio. It displays the full title of all songs and artists. So while the display in my Lexus truncates the title and artist, her portable will display everything in full. Clearly there is some issue/limit with the Lexus receiver/display. When you think about it, XM broadcasts some 100+ channels, how could it not transmit a few characters of text?
Of course it doesn’t make much difference, in a couple years the Sirius and XM satellites will just be expensive space junk anyway.
