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. |

If what you are saying is the artist is not on all the songs, that is normal

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. |

It is the radio station that beams out the info for the song titles. The
radio isn't showing it because the radio station isn't beaming out the info. And not all song's will beam out the info. It happened to our station in Phoenix before. It lasted a few days, so I believe it was something to do with there equipmant. It is the station. Try switching stations to see if it will show music info.

Yes I know what radio your van has, I work on these vans everyday. I believe
it is the station that puts it out. I havent looked in the owners manual but I think you may find the answer somewhere in it "SoccerMom" > wrote in message oups.com... > go to this website to look at the radio model that it has > > http://www.autobytel.com/content/res...s_id_int/37502 > |

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. Jim |

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. |
