Default "TEXT" feature on radio issue?

Our 2002 IS300 automatically scrolls the name of the artist/song across the radio display continuously. However, on my 2006 IS350, it seems I have to push the "TEXT" button to get the artist/song to display, and then after it displays once, it disappears. Is there a way to get it to scroll continuously without pushing the "TEXT" button?

Nope.

Toyota/Lexus says it's a safety feature. Scrolling text is distracting.

Seriously.
