Radio text
If RDS is activated, information on the
radio programme currently active or
the music track currently playing are
displayed below the programme
name.
To show or hide the information, go to
the OPTIONS menu and activate or
deactivate Information.
Traffic announcements
Many RDS stations broadcast traffic
news. If the traffic announcements
function is activated, radio or media
playback is interrupted for the
duration of a traffic announcement.
To activate traffic announcements, go
to the OPTIONS menu and activate
TA.
If TA is activated, TA is displayed in
the bottom line of the radio main
menu.
Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB)
broadcasts radio stations digitally.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information
● With DAB, several radio
programmes (services) can be
broadcast on a single ensemble.
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data
services including travel and
traffic information.
● As long as a given DAB receiver
can pick up the signal sent out by
a broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver,
reception is interrupted
completely. This incident can be
avoided by activating DAB-FM
auto tracking, see below.
● Interference caused by stations
that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by
natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled,
the FM tuner of the Infotainment
system remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the FM stations with
the best reception. If Traffic
announcement 3 71 is activated,
traffic announcements of the FM
station with the best reception
are issued. Deactivate Traffic
announcement if DAB reception
should not be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.
FM-DAB Linking
This function enables switching from
an FM station to a corresponding
DAB station and vice versa.
