Two line radio display - how do you get it?

I test drove an R56 MC this weekend and it had the two-line radio display.

The brochure shows some MCs having a one-line displays and some have two. The dealer said you needed GPS to get the two-line display in both MC and MCS. Which can't be right since I test-drove a MC with a two-line display which did NOT have GPS.

Does anyone know what options you need to get the two line display?

Thanks!

In the U.S. market MINI's, the standard stereo has a two-line display with the OBC joined in and an AM/FM/single CD player that also reads MP3 discs in folder/file format, similar to your PC. No GPS or any other options needed, it's all standard.

The brochure is showing some other radios that we don't get in the U.S.

Does anyone know how to make this display the default? So I don't have to hit list/track everytime I get in my car.

Thanks,
