    i know, yes, dont we all when we have to go to the dealership. i have an 09 with a 6disc changer and it said on the vehicle desc. that i had premium disc player. the last 09 tacoma i bought would show the text of the radio stations and cd i played( and the dealership took it back because they didnt want to finance me) my new one taco doesnt read squat, it just says no text. did i get f'ed in the a or what?

    If your burning your CD's you have to make sure to include the album info otherwise it will not show that info. I have some that will and some that wont in my collection.

    I believe you have to turn on "text" and you should see it. There is a button that says text. Press it next time your in the truck and see what happens. Not all radio stations have that feature though

    I heard of a dealer that replaced a 6 CD player with a 1 CD player while under warranty. When you say premium, I'm assuming that mean it is the JBL. Somewhere on the CD player, it should say JBL. Go ahead and post a picture of the new stereo and we'll let you know.

    It should have a JBL logo on it something like this:

    also on the door grills it has the JBL logo:

    although this is an '08 and I was told the '09's don't have the RDS logo anymore.
