Hello everybody, i want to display scrolling text when im playing MP3 in my car with the stock headunit, atm, it will only display a static text, sometimes missing the ending letters because the headunit lcd is not long enough to show the entire thing

does anyone know how to do this?

 

whoever made the stereo for this car must have been absolutely the most ignorant person to work on the design of our vehicles.

Not only do we have the text scrolling issue, but when you play your MP3 cd on "random" and then try to change tracks, it only goes to the next sequential track, not the next random track.

There is nothing you can do about this other than get yourself an aftermarket (bypassed) cd player in there. thats a lot of work for such a small advantage. i have just learned to live with it.

 

oh shoot

i was about to ask about that random track issue as well

darn!!!!

thanks anyway

 

You can do random folders though.

 

God do I agree with you!!!! Add to that the whole non use of the cell phone dialing and location entering and youve hit it about all! Preach on brother!

 

To display the rest of the track name, just HOLD down the "TEXT" button and it will scroll to the next partition of the song title. if your song title is like 30 characters long then you'll have to scroll twice to see the end of it.

Yeah, I agree this isn't great design. Scrolling should be AUTOMATIC if the track name is longer than the display size. I mean, my sirius radio player does this so I'm surprised Lexus didn't think of that. And that issue about using the next button while in random mode, again, quite idiotic!

 

to add to that, i have heard that ALL toyota/lexus models with mp3 capability has the same issues across the board. My old man's camry does the same thing.

 

Come on not just Lexus or Toyota dose that even a M-Benz does that too! My old man SLK200 could only play MP3 CD from the changer (there is in dash CD)!

 

i rented an '06 or 07 corolla the other day for a business trip and when i listened to the radio, it automatically scrolled the text info. I wish the IS stock deck would do this

I'm really interested in seeing the dash kit when it comes out to see if i can get rid of the deck... I know, it probably won't, but i can hope!

 

I thought it gives you the lyrics as well.

But yeh the designer needs to allow it to scroll across that's for sure.
