RDS
Overview of the RDS
function
The 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 to is
not transmitting RDS data.
