RDS Functions

Overview of the RDS
Function
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system which
uses FM radio waves to receive digital signals.
Receiving RDS data with your car stereo unit
allows it to use a variety of services. There are
several ways to use these services. For
instance, you can receive information such as
traffic announcements and station names, or
you can cause the unit to automatically retune
to the strongest signal that is broadcasting the
same programme. So even if you travel a long
distance, it is still possible to listen to the same
programme without having to retune
manually again and again. Another function
allows you to receive traffic announcements
during CD playback.
RDS offers various functions, but depending
on the country or region, not all of these are
available. The following information explains
the RDS functions of this unit.
Notes
