AF – Alternative frequency
The range of FM stations is limited. For this
reason, FM programmes are distributed to
different frequencies. The AF RDS service
sends these frequencies to the tuner. If the
reception deteriorates because the vehicle
leaves the reception area of a frequency, the
tuner can automatically change to the best
receivable frequency.

allows for transmitting voice and data be-
