Not sure about this, but are you using ID3v1 or ID3v2? Some tag editing programs default to ID3v2 only and some car MP3 players don't read them. Might be worth a shot to check that out.
Well, no that's not a silly question because it solved my problem. The info is there but I have to push the button to see it otherwise the info area is blank. I wonder why Chrysler designed the radio to require the user to push a button everytime to see something like the song title? It seems like it would have been so easy to design it to display some default tag info. I guess, as suggested, the best solution is to name the tracks like "01-Name of Song". Thanks for the help...swarick said:kampsvilleboy,
Silly question, but have you pressed the INFO button on the top right of the NAV display?
My system displays title, artist, album, and genre with every subsequent push of this button.
I used ROXIO Easy CD creator to make my 100 song MP3 discs.

I have SG-II but no nav, when I go to the MP3 discs, my steering weels buttons will take me from the last song of one folder to the first of the next, also if I press the down key on the first song (twice) it will play the last song of the last folder.flt505 said:...
I have noticed that the first time I go to the MP3 disc as I use the buttons on the steering wheel to advance thru songs, they restart back at 01 in the playing folder after the last song in the folder. If I use the >> button on the radio it goes form the last song on each folder to the first song on the NEXT folder.
Now thereafter if I use the advance button on the steering wheel it goes from last song on one folder to first song on next folder. Strange Brew.

I know for the Satelite song/artist display info, the Info button only needs to be pushed once. Its an on/off switch. I wonder if this is different for MP3 info or if your switch is broken...?kampsvilleboy said:Well, no that's not a silly question because it solved my problem.

I have to press the info button every time to get the Satellite song/artist. Mine does not function as an on/off switch. Yet on local radio, the song/artist is displayed by default.jcsganga34 said:I know for the Satelite song/artist display info, the Info button only needs to be pushed once. Its an on/off switch.

Just wanted to make sure we have the same system. I have SGII with NAV. Although I find it difficult to believe that the Info button would have different results from system to system(especially when designed by the same mfr). I only need to push the info button once, in fact I only did it when I originally setup the stereo and programmed it to my key. Now everytime I turn on the Satelite the song and artist are displayed in the info section. I have never had to keep pushing the info button for the information. Also the am/fm information is always displayed as well.C-Man said:I have to press the info button every time to get the Satellite song/artist. Mine does not function as an on/off switch.
