Smile FM radio display question

I just bought a 2015 silver EX fit on saturday and I'm noticing that unlike my previous fit when I'm listening to FM radio it doesn't display the artist or name of the song (on the "main" FM screen). I know that I can click on menu and get the song detail for the song that is currently playing, but when the next song starts it still displays the previous song's info (doesn't update on this screen).

Is there a setting thing I'm not aware of? I feel like I've clicked on everything and can't find how to modify the audio display page.

Don't think there is a way.... basically you have to exit back to the main screen and then come back in to get the song info updated...

I didn't think so... strange since it would show up on the older fits.

Keep in mind that the EX Fit is not an HD radio... so its a little different.

Neither is the radio on the older Fits-- I notice some of the lag depends on the radio station I am listening to.

I found the setting to allow it but it is greyed out.

Christina 11 is right, you should be able to get the display to update automatically by
pushing settings, audio, rds info and then on. As the others mentioned it depends on
the radio. If it's ever been repaired before you got it, it could have something else in there or part of the chip may be bad. I had a similiar problem once on a Toyota van
from the factory. They had changed it and did not have the correct radio as listed in
the book. It's amazing all the stuff you can run into. On the check list in the factory,
my son works at Marysville, he says that code stickers are on the radios and it shows
which coded sticker on the radio should be in the vehicle. Once I had a clunk in the door panel on a new car. Took it apart and found a wrench laying in the bottom of the door panel. never knew if if was on purpose or by accident.

You are right never trust a salesperson.

HD Radio is only in the 2015 Honda Fit EX-L with Navigation.

I fault Honda on this as it is only $10 cost to have HD Radio which I would gladly pay.
