Radio Data System Rds - BMW Mini Owner's Manual

Radio Data System RDS

Radio stations in the FM waveband can broad-
cast additional information, e.g. the station
name, using RDS. If the reception conditions are
good, the station names are shown on the Con-
trol Display. Where reception is poor or in the
event of interference, it may take some time
before the station names will appear in the
display.
Switching RDS on/off*
1. Select "FM".
2. Press the MINI joystick.
Other menu items are displayed.
3. Select "RDS".
RDS is activated.
The setting is stored for the remote control in
use, refer to Personal Profile, page 26.
HD Radio*
Many stations broadcast both analog and digital
signals. If a digital radio network is available,
these stations can be received digitally and thus
with better sound quality.
