To Marc@Blitzsafe

I realize this is not a support forum for Blitzsafe, but it works well in that regard.

There has been a lot of discussion in the past about the information being sent by XM (artist, song title...) not being displayed. From what I gather, the XM Direct module is receiving the information, but the Blitzsafe module is not passing all that information along. All we can see is the first 10-12 characters and it doesn't scroll to show the rest.

I know the HU can handle it as it does well with radio station information, and from what I hear it works fine with the "factory ready" Sirius.

What gives?

Maybe I am mistaken about your question, but I have a Delphi SkiFi unit and the song title is always truncated. I have assumed this was just a limitation of the XM system.


Might look at the XM web site for more info.

hope this helps....

It was my understanding that there was more data being sent from XM than what is shown on the HU. I checked their site and couldn't find any info, so I sent them a question through their "Contact Us" link.

XM sends out 16 characters to all the receivers in their standard titles. Late last year theys started sending out 32 character extended titles that only the SkyFi2 and MyFi portables can recognize.


The Skyfi in my wifes car shows all 16, also I have a system to emulate a PCR computer receiver that uses the same XM direct box that the MINI setup uses and that also will show 16 characters. Something is amis with teh Blitzsafe adaptor, I think that they even admitted it on the blitzsafe forums a while back.

It would be nice if they were avaialble in the MINI but I am not losing sleep over it.
