I have had

11.x
12.x
13.x

and it 's worked on them all.

There appears to be some regional differences too with US cars not displaying it, if posts on here are correct.

It has always worked on mine IF YOU'RE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT MENU with the round dial for selecting tracks. CD Text does NOT show in other menus like below the NAV or from the main menu. Based on my experience, CD text is only displayed when you're using the main CD player (not the changer) AND you're in the actual Entertainment Menu setting.

Just my two cents based on my observations.

There's a rumour that you have to disable RDS for the tracks to appear... (More beta testing of their software going on! )

I'm going to try and confirm this

CD text and RDS are usually two separate things. RDS is radio only and I'd be surprised if disabling RDS impacted CD text whatsoever.

I'm not sure if this is correct, at least for my car. Even when you're in the Entertainment Menu, with the round CD, all it says is 'Track 1', etc..... My stuff was burned using the latest version of Roxio Easy Media Creator. CD text shows up on my other equipment......

13.2 software.

Something is NOT right. 555, what version of software do you have?

I wish the Germans could figure out Electronics (Acura, Infiniti absolutely KILL BMW in this department, but that's another topic) like they have engines.......

NO nav, NO text!

I had a 520 loaner with bus nav and couldn't see text of the CD that displays text on my cra!!!
So I guess it only works with pro nav, or for the US, it only works with nav (since there is no bus nav).
Might be the Cd drive...
