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 program signal. Your car stereo
offers you a variety of services. Here are just
a few:
- PI (Program identification)
It is a code that identified RDS stations;
it is unique for each station.
- PS (PROGRAM Service Name)
The name of current station, it is shown on the
display.
- AF (Alternative Frequencies List)
The list(s) of Alternative Frequencies give
contains TP information.
TA ALARM
The radio does not retune but beeps will come out.
- PI SOUND, PI MUTE
When the vehicle is crossing the area where two
stations with same AF but different PI code can be
received at the same time, the receiver will become
unstable, under this situation two modes can be
selected.
PI SOUND
The different PI sounds will be heard.
PI MUTE
Under the same situation, the radio will be muted.

or PI Search.

RETUNE S 30 seconds
- MASK PI, MASK ALL
“PI” is referred to “Different PI with same AF”.
During AF search, PI stations and non-RDS stations
with strong signal will be masked, in the latter case,
the non-RDS stations may cause interference,
resulting the real AF to be masked due to the
misjudgment of the radio under interference.
There are two options to handle this situation.
MASK PI to mask only the AF with different PI.
MASK ALL mask both PI and strong signal non-RDS
stations.
