Not sure what model year you have but my 2013 model with sat nav has this function. Enter the radio screen and in the middle is an "i" for information. Touch this and it displays all you require.

Hope this helps MY13 TD4 Black and White manual - Gone

Likewise, info screen shows what is playing. In my area around Surrey/Hampshire the DAB reception is excellent and if tuned to a station that has good bandwidth (some of the "extra" stations like Absolute 80s etc have less) the sound is far superior to FM.

I think the song 'info' is only something you will get on th higher spec radios. If you have the low end radio (with the tiny screen) & DAB you will only get the station name and 'Preset' No. underneath it.

Its a bit crappy really. wish there was a way of upgrading the radio and screen, without having to spend a fortune or pull the car apart.
