Hi all!
In my '07 xkr I have Audio connectivity module (ACM) installed. 8 gb usb works fine, controls on steering wheel work fine, BUT, is there ANY way possible (by some update, anything,..) to actually SEE the songs I play on the screen? Has somebody done that? Because, although working, this is very rudimentary way for listening to music..

 

I managed to get them to display on my car but I had to upgrade to a 5 litre to do it

My '07 wouldn't display them either but I have a feeling that the '08's onwards had the ACM fitted as standard and the song tracks display on those. Someone else should be able to confirm.

 

Point taken!
😆😆😆

 

I can confirm on my 2015 the track names do display from a USB stick

So it looks like to enjoy that feature you'll need to upgrade to a 5.0 L_E

I can heartily recommend the supercharged version, as a higher noble you funds should stretch to it....although in truth I wasn't aware of any Croatians that held the title?

 

Well, I guess I will have to substancially invest to listen to music properly. 🙃
As for my title, unfortunately, just a nickname from childhood PC gaming 😁

 

What you can do is create mp3 file "voice tags" and put them as the first track of each folder.

I did this for the ACM in the old X-Type & XJR, which doesn't give you any displayed information.

So as you skip through each folder, it reads out the name.

It's been a while & i don't remember which website I used, but a quick test on this one https://ttsmp3.com/ it seems to be pretty good.

I do remember that sometimes you have to alter the spelling or spell words phonetically in order for it to be read out correctly.

 

iPod connectivity together with steering wheel controls (volume and track) integrated with the touchscreen to display song title became standard equipment beginning with the final production model year of the 4.2L. That was 2009 for the North American market.

 

I was really hoping there is some software upgrade to do exactly that. And sure it must be, some kind od OEM firmware, as it is almost the same hardware.
