RDS
Overview of the RDS
function
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows FM stations to send
additional digital information along with the
regular radio programme signal. Your car
stereo offers you a variety of services. Here
are just a few: Re-tuning the same programme
automatically, Listening to traffic
announcements and Locating a station by
programme type.
Notes
• Depending on the country or region, not all of the RDS
functions are available.
• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is
weak or if the station you are tuned in is not
transmitting RDS data.
