Radio data system (RDS)
RDS is a service of FM stations that
considerably facilitates the finding of
the desired station and its fault-free
reception.
Advantages of RDS
● On the display, the programme
name of the station appears
instead of its frequency.
● During a station search, the
Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.
● The Infotainment system always
tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set
station by means of AF
(alternative frequency).
● Depending on the station that is
received, the Infotainment
system displays radio text that
can contain e.g. information on
the current programme.

services, DAB is also able to
