That's pretty much the same as all of the aftermarket ipod/iphone link kits I've seen, to get text info you need the XM ready "premium" sound system found only on the Si models and the EX coupe. So I guess the 06-08 standard sound system has no way to display text since it isn't compatible with satellite radio.
