RDS radio data services (FM band)
Fig. 25
Standard display: FM station list menu
The RDS (Radio Data System) offers addi-
tional information in FM such as the visualisa-
tion of the station name, automatic station
tracking (AF), text emitted by radio (Radio
Text), traffic reports (TP) and station types
(PTY).
Depending on the country and the unit in
question, the RDS can be deactivated in the
FM Settings
menu

Without RDS it is not possible to use radio
data services.
Name of the station and automatic station
tracking
If equipped with the RDS function, the names
of the stations can be displayed in the main
RADIO menu and in the
FM station list
.
FM radio stations may occasionally or contin-
uously broadcast different content on differ-
ent regional frequencies under the same sta-
tion name (e.g. Station 3).
By default, automatic station tracking always
switches to the currently selected station's
frequency that offers the best reception, as
the vehicle travels from one area to the next.
As a result, this may cause the regional signal
to be lost.
Automatic frequency changing and automat-
ic station tracking can be deactivated in
FM
setup

Setting a station name
In some cases the name of the station is too
long. This text may be blocked/unblocked by
pressing on the station name for 3 seconds
until hearing an audible signal (a dot will ap-
pear/disappear on the left and right of the
station name).
Radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast
additional text information known as radio
text.
Radio Text is displayed in the upper half of the
screen above the memory buttons
