Default HUD, Song changes Bluetooth

Hi,

I've been driving my C8 and enjoy it but I have a few issues:
- HUD: it doesn't display any song info, not any pictures even with SIRIUS XM. My wife X4 does display everything in the HUD even the maps/directions. I have a 2LT is it better on 3LT or the same ?
- Can't change songs using buttons when using bluetooth. On my 2012 Mustang when in bluetooth I can press 2 buttons for previous/next song. In the C8 I have to touche the screen or use my phone which is a bit distracting if you are driving. Am I doing something wrong and there is actually a way to use the FAV buttons to change songs ?

Thanks,
Duked

I could be wrong but the HUD shows song info only on Bluetooth or CarPlay, not for Sirius XM. Other manufacturers show different things

Use the buttons on the left side of the wheel, opposite of the volume buttons to change tracks. Be sure you're 'pulling' the buttons, not pushing them.

Ha thank you ! I just tried and it works only if use your phone with Bluetooth and I can see the song name in the HUD. Howver, my phone is most of the time connected with Android Auto and that's when it doesn't work.

My HUD shows the song titles while I'm listing to XM. I think I set it up in the HUD selections on the left side of the steering wheel.

Same. I didn't have to set anything up in my 22.

I don't get Google Maps or Waze in the HUD though.
