102 Radio
Radio data system (RDS)
RDS is a service of FM stations that
considerably facilitates the finding of
the desired station and its fault-free
reception.
Advantages of RDS
● On the display, the programme
name of the station appears
instead of its frequency.
● During a station search, the
Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.
● The Infotainment system always
tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set
station by means of AF
(alternative frequency).
● Depending on the station that is
received, the Infotainment
system displays radio text that
can contain e.g. information on
the current programme.

RDS configuration

Touch Menu in the bottom line of the
FM radio main menu to open the
corresponding waveband-specific
submenu.
Scroll to RDS.
Activate or deactivate RDS.

Traffic Programme

Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If
the traffic service is switched on, the
currently playing audio source is
interrupted for the duration of the
traffic announcement.
Activating the traffic programme
function
Select Menu in the bottom line of the
FM radio main menu to open the
corresponding waveband-specific
submenu.
Touch the screen button next to
Traffic Programme to activate or
deactivate the function.
Note
In the station list, TP is displayed
next to the stations providing a traffic
programme.
If the radio traffic service is activated,
[TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station is not a
radio traffic service station, TP is
greyed-out and a search is started
automatically for the next radio traffic
service station. As soon as a radio
traffic service station is found, TP is
highlighted. If no radio traffic service
station is found, TP remains greyed-
out.
If a traffic announcement is
broadcasted on the respective
station, a message is displayed.
To interrupt the announcement and
return to the function previously
activated, touch the screen or press
m.

Regionalisation

Sometimes RDS stations broadcast
regionally different programmes on
different frequencies.
