Am I the only one out there that finds the stock stereo system annoying? Specifically I am talking about the Stock system you get with the 40th anni model. I have enabled the Sirius Sattelite feature and instead of scrolling the text across the display screen, I have to manually turn the dial in order to see all the text and info. This kind of doesn't make sense to me for we have full function buttons on the steering wheel only to have to remove a hand from the steering wheel to see what we are listening too. Yep very annoying, now the real question on my mind is, is there anyway for this system to auto scroll the text with out having to rip it out of the dash and re-enact the office space scene with the fax machine in the field. "hmmmmm yep, SLUUURP, I am gonna have you come in on Saturday uhm hmm yeah" And hey a special thanks to all you fellow RX junkies I love ya all. Hopefully there is a simple fix or setting that can keep my sanity and also keep my hands at a safe 10 and 2 on the wheel when i am zoom zooming down the highway.

 

it does that with the mp3 id3 tags too. What you can do is hook up a small fan to an air vent. Then lower the power voltage to it. Now wrap a rubber band to the fan motor and the other end to the display ****. Now let 'er rip! It'll spin and change the text for you automatically. If your fan has an osculating mode where it turns back and forth, you can even run across the titles more than once.

 

If that's all you have to complain about then I would say that you are pretty well off. Stop being so picky about a stock stereo on a relatively inexpensive sports car.

 

thats the most McGuyver answer i've ever heard!!!

ROFL

 

They could've "fix" that with just a firmware update. but they decided that "Just scroll on ur own, its fun"

 

I would assume the reason why it doesn't scroll on it's own is because it would be distracting to the driver to have moving crap on the edge of his vision.

The less chance of a lawsuit the better.

 

Iam very interested in this, Would you please post some pics of this method? Detailed instructions would be appreciated as well.

 

you can get the same effect by strapping a rubber band to your right wrist, and the other end to the scroll ****. As you turn corners, your hand will rotate on the steering wheel, and spin the scroll ****.

If you want to get fancy, you can also wear sweat bands on your wrist, to adjust the diameter, and thus the scroll speed.

 

3 and 9 !!!

You want to "hook" your thumbs over the side "spokes" of the steering wheel. You will also use your thumbs as pivot point while turning the wheel past a certain degree of rotation. When more steering input is needed lift one hand while turning with the other and replace that hand back in either the 3 or 9 position (which ever position isnt occupied by the hand still on the wheel) once it has passed over the other hand. You should never have to use any other hand positions than 3 and 9 unless you are just being lazy.
