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

24Radio● The Infotainment system alwaystunes 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 configuration Touch Menu in the FM radio main
menu to open the corresponding
waveband-specific submenu.
Scroll to RDS.
Activate or deactivate RDS.
Traffic Programme Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If the traffic service is switched on, the
currently playing audio source is
interrupted for the duration of the
traffic announcement.Activating the traffic programme
function

menu to open the corresponding waveband-specific submenu.
Touch the screen button next to
Traffic Programme to activate or
deactivate the function.
Note
In the station list, TP is displayed
next to the stations providing a traffic
programme.
If the radio traffic service is activated, [TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station is not a
radio traffic service station, TP is
greyed-out 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

out.

alternative frequencies with the same regional programmes are selected

regard to regional programmes.
Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB)
broadcasts radio stations digitally.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.

Radio25General information● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single 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 incident can be
avoided by activating DAB-DAB
Linking or DAB-FM Linking in the
DAB menu (see below).● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM and 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 FM stations with
the best reception. If TP 3 23 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 Announcements
Besides their music programmes, a
lot of DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or allcategories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.

menu to open the corresponding
waveband-specific submenu.
Scroll through the list and select DAB
Announcements to display a list of the
categories available.

(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (if available) when the DAB
signal is too weak to be picked up by
the receiver.
Select Menu in the DAB radio main
menu to open the corresponding
waveband-specific submenu.
Scroll through the list and activate or
deactivate DAB-DAB Linking .

26RadioDAB-FM Linking
This function enables switching from
a DAB station to a corresponding FM
station and vice versa.
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.
Scroll through the list and activate or
deactivate DAB-FM Linking .
