XM radio display not showing full song title

A couple weeks ago I took my '10 in for it's first oil change, and the Nav update issued by Infiniti. Since then, I swear some of the same songs that use to show all the title & year, now are missing a letter or number or two at the end. It usually has to be a fairly long song title for this to happen.

For example, on XM6, they usually have the year of the song in parenthesis at the very end of the title. Sometimes I will just get the left parenthesis. But I feel certain, before the NAV update, this wasn't an issue.

Anyone else notice this? And if so, was it noticed before the NAV update as well? Can't imagine why they can't fix this, especially when there is clearly text in all corners of the display.

Note: I am aware that the last few letters of song titles from XM sometimes appear after a few seconds. But with longer song titles, they do not appear at all.

my display doesn't show all of the song titles or bands either. Since i've never seen it any other way i figured it was normal..

Sometimes the titles are too long and it doesn't display the whole thing.

It seemed that I was getting even the long titles in full before the NAV update several weeks ago.

it depends on how long is long. if it's a little more, then it will show the whole name. if the title/artist is very long, it will cut the name off.

This is normal... you probably didn't notice it before. I've seen it on both 09 and 10 G's.

On my Audi, the title will scroll if it's too long to display at once. Kinda like your ipod.
