• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Just got our ‘22 SX Prestige over the weekend and I’ve been playing with all the bells and whistles and enjoying setting everything up to my liking. But I cannot seem to figure how (or if it’s even possible) to display audio info such as artist and track info on the instrument cluster. Is that possible? I use Apple CarPlay a ton, and I don’t want to have to use it in split screen mode just to see radio info if I’m listening to SiriusXM. I want to see that beautiful big screen in all its glory! 😆
 
I use AA, and the song title will pop up on dash for a second or two anytime song changes. I'd be surprised if yours didn't at least do that as well.

Quick vid showing song skipping and the dash popup.
 
Thanks for that. I’ll check that out. We had a 2017 Expedition that we traded in, and I could always have the audio info in the instrument cluster regardless of whether I was using CarPlay, or Android Auto, or just SiriusXM. I’ve just gotta get used to something a little different I guess.
 
You also can configure the HUD to display a change in the audio source, e.g., switching from one Sirius channel to another. But this info just pops up for a second and then disappears; I don't think it can be shown permanently. And it doesn't show the track details anyway.

I agree that this is an odd gap in functionality. All Uconnect systems can display artist & title info on the dash in a Jeep, Dodge, etc.
