Mine will show song, album, and track titles once you hit the "title" button.
What it won't do is display the playlist name on the screen where you can go backwards and forwards thru selections.

You have Sirius 1 thru 4 Search modes

1= playlist search
2= artist search
3= album search
4= song search

Since I get no text display on the actual search screen (where you would select to play a specific playlist, artist, album, or song) picking one of these things is a drag.

In other words, if I am in Sirius2 (artist) search, and I want to listen to a band that starts with the letter M, I have to just keep advancing the artist till I hear the right band. No text display.
With like 300 different artists on my iPod, this takes forever.
The only way I have found to work around this is to create several playlists. All, Rock, Mood, etc etc...
I put the Eclipse into Sirius 1. I know the first playlist is All, so if I want to hear Rock, I advance to the next playlist or for Mood I advance it twice to get to playlist #3.

It *is* a pain in the ass but unless eclipse updates the firmware in the NAV/Stereo, it's the only way I have found to make things semi-easy to deal with.

If any of that makes sense....
