Default Radio Text Question

Just picked up my A7 (Daytona Gray, Prestige, Bose) and have noticed that the information display for the radio is kinda skimpy. I'm used to the RDS scrolling data showing station, artist, song title on stations with this feature. The MMI manual refers to this as "radio text" and I'll be darned if I can get it to work. After following the instructions, I get a "station does not have text" message for stations I know have the RDS display.

Anybody else have this issue? Is there a work around?

Not a big deal...but a minor issue with a darn-near perfect car.

Yes, a nuisance. I am used to a more configurable display. Software, in many ways, is the one achilles heel of the A7. While it is quite good, it could be even better.
