easily

Is there a minimally distractive way of quickly pulling up the artist and title of a song playing on XM (without hitting having to hit home and then navigating via an onscreen menu to audio/xm)? It probably is accessible on the 7" screen, just am not familiar with it yet.

My V8 tech is not even a week old with 400 miles and the driver seat bottom is all stretched. I'm not a large guy by any mean :p, 5'8" 165lbs in shape. I love how much softer and better the "ultra premium leather" feels but does it come with a sacrifice in durability?
