FM song information (RDS) not being displayed

Picked up a 2023 EUV in September. So far the infotainment has been working fine, but I've noticed one small problem. When listening to an FM radio station the display does not show the song information (RDS) on the main screen. It does, however, show the song information up in the top corner when I am not looking at the audio screen. This means that the system is receiving the RDS data, it just does not show it on the main audio screen.

Anyone else notice this?

Edit: Found an odd workaround. If I press the "tune" button (which allows you to directly type in a station number), but then just press X to back out of that, then RDS starts working. RDS will continue to work even when switching to different stations, until I switch to a different audio app, such as SiriusXM or Pandora. After that, switching back to FM will again require the Tune trick.

I'm actually right in the middle of town, so I get a strong signal. This happens on all radio stations in the Bolt, while my other cars have no issues at all. Plus, I can consistently reproduce it. I do wonder if maybe there's an infotainment software update available that my car maybe doesn't have. I should scout around to see if there's a way to find out what the latest version numbers of the infotainment software are, and compare that to what my car has...

I'm not sure using a different car is a good way to test. My Bolt can't pick up signals 20 miles from town. It has the worst radio I have ever had in a car. Period. If you could test 2023 Bolt EUV then it would be fair test. Go to dealer?

I notice this, too. If I switch to the energy screen, the FM song title shows in the upper left corner, but on the audio screen, the song title often does not display. I haven’t tried the Tune trick yet.
