Some more progress on the wiring harnesses.
This problem only affects some PT Cruisers with a factory-installed Sirius radio. It appears to affect many GTs, in which the Sirius radio is a factory option - I have not found one that works. It appears to NOT affect DC3s, in which the Sirius radio is a standard factory feature. SO there is something different about the specs for the wiring harness installed in these PTs.
There is definately a factory defect causing this problem - a missing wire in the factory wiring harmess - see my diagram below.
I have confirmed that the Nav unit and the in-dash 6-CD changer are capable of displaying full station ID, Artist, and Title info. I believe the standard single-disc CD will also display some or all of this info - I'll check that this week-end, as I have one as a take-out from my wife's Jeep.
The dealer I am dealing with - Rancho Chrysler/Jeep in San Diego - has no information on the factory wiring harnesses, and so far keeps claiming that MOPAR tech support won't call him back. I've tried contacting Mopar tech support directly with my proof of this factory defect, but so far they have told me to go through my dealer. Basically, I'm getting the run-around, despite having bought two new Mopar products in the last two months.
However, I will keep after it.
