Default XM Song and Artist Cutoff

This is ridiculous. I have an '08 IS 350 w/ nav and XM. The song and artist fields do not show the entire text. It cuts off after a certain amount of characters. What kind of nonsense is that? Every other car that I get into that has XM/Sirius integrated into the head unit shows the entire artist and song info.

I did a search for some workarounds for this and couldn't find anything. Is it possible that Lexus will address this in a future firmware release? This current design seems silly. I'm not saying it has to scroll, but the current implementation has the song/artist only occupying half the screen. There's more than enough room to display more characters.

I have the lexus ipod integration and it uses the XM SAT interface. I'm also annoyed by this artist cutoff you mentioned..but I don't think we can do anything about it..
