Radio data system Radio data system (RDS) is a service
of FM stations that considerably
improves the finding of the desired
station and its fault-free reception.

160RadioAdvantages 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.
RDS settings
To configure the RDS settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the FM waveband.
Press MENU to display the FM
waveband menu.
RDS
Set RDS to On or Off.Note
If RDS is set to Off, RDS functions
are not available.
Traffic Programme
Radio traffic service stations are RDS stations that broadcast traffic news. Ifthe traffic service is switched on, the
currently active function is interrupted
for the duration of the traffic
announcement.
Activate or deactivate Traffic Program
(TP) .
If the radio traffic service is activated,
[TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station or media played is not a radio traffic service
station, [ ] is displayed and a search
is started automatically for the next
radio traffic service station. As soon
as a radio traffic service station is
found, [TP] is highlighted. If no radio
traffic service station is found, [ ]
remains on the screen.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast
on the respective radio traffic service
station, a message is displayed.To interrupt the announcement and
return to the function previously
activated, dismiss the alert.
Region
Sometimes RDS stations broadcast
regionally different programmes on
different frequencies.
Set Region to On or Off.
If regionalisation is switched on,
alternative frequencies with the same regional programmes are selected
where necessary.
If regionalisation is switched off,
alternative frequencies of the stations are selected without regard to
regional programmes.
Digital audio broadcasting
DAB broadcasts radio stations
digitally.

Radio161Advantages of DAB● DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.
● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single frequency(ensemble).
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated data and a multitude of other data services including travel andtraffic information.
● As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver,
reception is interrupted
completely. This can be avoided
by activating DAB to DABLinking and/or DAB to FM
Linking in the DAB option menu
(see below).
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable
FM stations. If TP 3 159 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TP if DAB reception should not
be interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.DAB settings
To configure the DAB settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the DAB waveband.
Press MENU to display the DAB
waveband menu.
DAB Announcements

lot of DAB stations also broadcast announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or all categories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
Select DAB Announcements to
display the DAB categories list.
Select the desired categories. The
selected categories are marked with
9 .
Note
DAB announcements can only be
received if the DAB waveband is
activated.

(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (if available) when the DAB

DAB to FM Linking
If this function is activated, the device switches over to a corresponding FM
station of the active DAB service (if
available) when the DAB signal is too
weak to be picked up by the receiver.
