The RDS (Radio Data System) offers addition-
al information in FM such as the visualisation
of the station name, automatic station track-
ing (Alternative Frequencies), text broadcast
by radio (Radio Text), traffic reports (TP) and
station types (PTY).
Not all units have RDS, nor do all FM stations
offer this service.
Without RDS
, it is not possible to obtain
ra-
dio data services
.
Name of the station and automatic station
tracking
When the RDS is available, you can view the
station names in the RADIO main menu and
in the
list of FM stations
.
The FM stations send different contents un-
der one name (for example, Radio 2) in vari-
ous regional frequencies, provisionally or
permanently.
When driving, the automatic station tracking
automatically changes to the frequency that
provides the best reception of the currently-
selected station. As a result, you may lose
the regional programme you are listening to.
The automatic change of frequencies and au-
tomatic station tracking can be linked
through the
FM setup
Radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast
additional text information known as radio
text.
The radio text is displayed in the top half of
the screen, above the stored station buttons.
The radio text display can be linked through
the
FM setup
.

The radio stations are responsible for the

tomatic station tracking (AF) or programme
types (PTY).
