Do some FM stations broadcast the text (or was I mistaken and was I actually seeing the Satellite Radio text)?
Many FM radio stations broadcast with RDS, which contains information like song title and artist, and RDS-capable headunits can display that text. This is completely separate functionality from a headunits capability to display title/track information from MP3's, CD's, and satellite radio.

1) The Camry NAV radio is RDS capable.

2) The Camry non-NAV JBL unit is not RDS-capable.

3) The Camry non-JBL unit is not RDS-capable.

Search for "RDS" and you should find a few posts discussing this topic.

Like you, I don't have satellite enabled on my radio either, and I have never seen text from any FM station, even from ones that I know display on the radio in my wife's car. I just assumed that this was not a feature.
