2004 Explorer 6-Disc RDS
I have a 2004 Explorer with the 6 Disc CD player. I have enabled RDS on the radio, and many of the clear channel stations in my area (Chicagoland) broadcast not only the station name, but also the song/artist.
My stereo does not scroll this data properly. It might show the station name, and maybe a minute later, part of the song name, but it stalls a lot, and has old data (a new song is playing, but it still shows the name of the old). Has anyone else seen this on Ford 6 Disc stereos with RDS?

Might just be bad reception of the RDS signal. I've seen it here around flint. But most stations only advertize and not give out much good information.
My guess would be bad reception of data stream. Basically your downloading streaming data, in a sort of fassion. Might just be to many things blocking signal.
Has it ever worked properly? or atleast right for a bit?
