Anyone know how to scroll through text on the stock head unit?

I got my '11 not long ago and I was wondering if there is any way to scroll through the text on the head unit because it only shows like a max of 7 letters when a song is playing.
anyone know??

 

Wondering the same thing, only have owned my taco for 3 weeks on Thursday.

 

one of my biggest gripes about the radio. I really don't care to see what mode (FM1, FM2, etc) i'm in, just get rid of that so i can see what the hell i'm listening to!!!

 

press and hold the text button

 

right??? what the hell!

I've tried this.. I don't remember what it does, but it doesn't scroll through the name of the song/artist

 

It works on mine

 

If you want to scroll through the artist/album/title etc. you need to push and release the TEXT button to see each one. To see the end of a long title, like people above have said, PUSH AND HOLD the TEXT button.

 

Ok, thanks. I'll give it a try. it sure seems like I already tried this though

 

why don't they make it so its always scrolling the text? oh Toyota

 

Yea it stinks. You have to hold the text button each time you want to see the end of any line.

 

Ok I'm positive it doesn't work on my head unit so wth?? I have a '11 with the jbl unit. Do any of you guys have the same setup?

 

Hmm...I thought all the 2nd gens were push and hold. I know my '05 is. Maybe they changed something I don't know about.

 

I've tried with both the SAT and CD text. if a song name is too long to fit on the screen, it gets cut off. If I press the text button once, the text instantly switches from the song name, to artist or station. If I press and hold the text button, again the text instantly changes to the artist, and nothing else happens. I'm very involved with electronics and stuff so I'm positive I'm not doing it wrong lol. I'm just saying that for some reason, it doesn't work in my truck... Beats me.
