Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
(for European models only)
Radio Data System (RDS) is a system used by most FM
radio stations to provide listeners with various kinds of
information—the name of the station and the kind of show

One feature of RDS is that you can search by type of
program. For example, you can search for a station that's
broadcasting a show with the program type, Jazz Music.
