To anyone thinking of getting the P7500 for a better XM display you'll
be sadly mistaken. It's only a 10 character single line display with
no horizontal scrolling function. In order to see the channel,
category, artist, and title you have to manually scroll through it.
Seems to be a waist since I had to pay an additional 200 for the XM
tuner and doesnt even 5% of the working screen. Maybe I was just
spoiled by the features of the Delphi SKyFi. But the rest of the
P7500 functions surpass that one flaw i guess.

What model xm tuner do you have? First generation tuners only displayed 10
characters, newer ones now display I think upto 29 characters.

Please let me know what type of tuner you have cause I will be getting the
7500DVD and I use XM radio and want to know if this is gonna be a problem.
I would at least want two line display (Artist/Title)

Yea the model tuner you have only supports upto 10 Characters hence the 910
model which can support I think 29, maybe more.
