TEXT Button for CD dosnt work

Hey Guys.

I can go to the radio and on the dial hit the left arrow and select the "TEXT" button in the display to see the music info.

But when I play a CD(any) I'm unable to select the text button.
Its there. But pressing the left arrow will not go to it.

This is weird cause the day I purchased the car I put a CD in it and it showed all the song names and info.

Anyone have this problem or is something locking me out from this?

CD's dont have text unless youve set it to have the music ID, or else its just TRACK 1 TRACK 2 ETC.

Some CDs don't have the text, even some new ones.

Thanks BiskitG37!

I thought it was broken or sfotware needed to be updated or CPU reset.

No ofense to chain492 - but your a BMW owner not a G37S owner!

NOTE: Checked CDs and its true. Most CDs you play will not have the Information. I remembered the CD I played when I purchased my car. I placed the CD in the CD player last night and it showed the Track info and album name/band.

So most of the time you wont see CD info but sometimes you will if the CD has it.

SOLVED!
