2003 Town & Country Radio question?

Hi, we just bought a "new" used 2003 T&C xli. It has a pretty fancy radio. When we bought it on some FM stations it showed an artist/group and song scrolling next to time on the display. I know that station provides that info. I had to read the book to figure out all those fancy functions, ets. So yesterday I messed with some buttons on the radio and my kids wanted to watch DVD so we figured out how to do that and listen to the radio at the same time. I also played with PTY button wich shows info on what kind of music radio station is broadcasting (like Jazz or Classic Rock, etc.) So now when in FM mode the artist/song thing does not scroll anymore and I canot figure out how to turn that back on - the book does not say anything. I tried to punch all kinds of buttons and it still does not do anything - just static name of the station is displayed. (Like "The BUZZ") and that's it. I feel stupid to drive to the dealer to ask them asbout that... So please, if you know how to toggle that functionality, let me know. Apprecite your help.

Well it does not show it at all now - nowhere. It just shows the name of the station like we have 94.1 and they are called "The BUZZ" so all i can see is "The BUZZ" next to the time and it has been like that for a couple of days. That is the station where it scrolled the artist/song name before I played with the buttons...

I guess what I am trying to say is that it does not show artist/song anywhere anymore, and after trying to punch all kinds of buttons (and even combinations of buttons) I cannot get it to display the artist/song again.

Read the whole darn thing last night (the manual). Never read a manual for a car in my life - this is the first one. Did not say anything about that feature. I guess David is right - it must've been a coincidence that i was pushing buttons when it stoped showing the info. And I thought at first that it might be the station - but after it did not do anything for a day, I thought it was me who screwed it up...

Read the whole darn thing (the manual) on radios last night - could not find anything in it about that... The first time i read any car manual... I think David might be right, I guess it might've been just a coincidence that I was pushing buttons when it stopped showing the info. And I had a thought that it might be the radio station - but when it lasted for more than a day, I thought that I pushed something that screwed it up.

I have a 2004 T&C. while in a different city I noticed the same thing as you did - song title and artist scrolling across the display. It only happened for a particular station. Most stations only send out the call sign or nickname. I am fairly sure that the display is dependant on the radio station and what digital info they pass along over the air.

Thanks a lot for all the info! The car is way too fancy with all those bells and whistles (I like it though ;). Artist/song scrolling did come back this morning on the stations that had it before. I guess they were doing something with their equipment for 2 days. It is kinda funny since we just bought the car last Sunday and I did not know anything about the radio (too many buttons) and was just trying to figure out what all those buttons do and just when I pushed one the artist/song thing disappeared and switched to a static station name - so of course my thought was I messed it up by pushing buttons. Again thanx a lot for the info.
