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 set 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 about the current
programme.
Configuring RDS
Press the CONFIG button to open the
Settings menu.
Select Radio settings and then RDS
options.
Set the option RDS to On or Off.
Note
If RDS is switched off, it will be
automatically switched on again
when a radio station is changed (by
search function or preset button).
Note
The following options are only
available, if RDS is set to On.
RDS options
Switching regionalisation on and off
At certain times some RDS stations
broadcast regionally different
programmes on different frequencies.
Set the option Regional to On or Off.
If regionalisation is switched on, only
alternative frequencies (AF) with the
same regional programmes are
selected.
If regionalisation is switched off,
alternative frequencies of the stations
are selected without regard to
regional programmes.
RDS scrolling text
Some RDS stations hide the
programme name in the display line
in order to display additional
information.
To prevent additional information
being displayed:
Set Text scroll freeze to On.
