RDS radio data and TP (Traffic Programme)
services
Introduction
RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio data service for broadcasting pro-
gramme and additional service identifiers, and displaying station names
and radio text, automatic station tracking and traffic programmes.
The RDS is not compatible with all equipment and is not available every-
where or on all radio stations.
Without RDS it is not possible to use the RDS radio services .

menu with station name
display and TP function
activated.
If the RDS service is available and the quality of reception is good enough,
the station name may be displayed in Radio mode ⇒ Fig. 15.
Automatic station tracking
Some FM stations broadcast different content (temporary or permanent) on
different wavelengths using the same name depending on the region.
By default, automatic station tracking always switches to the currently se-
lected radio station's frequency that offers the best reception, as the vehicle
travels from one area to the next. As a result, you may lose the regional pro-
gramme you are listening to. The automatic change of station can be de-
leted using the setting menu Radio ⇒ page 19.
Display and delete the radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast additional text information
known as radio text. It is possible to adjust the display to show radio text.
● In the RADIO main menu, press the 
unit button.
While radio text is switched on  is shown at the top right of the screen. 

the receiver ensures that a station which broadcasts traffic programmes is
always received.
While the Media mode is on, it will always try to tune in to a traffic station in
the background.
If the traffic news tracking function is available, TP is displayed on the upper
right corner of the screen ⇒ Fig. 17.
When no radio stations are received, for example, when the reception is
generally poor, No TP is displayed. 

trol , this setting will be retained for future announcements.
● Pressing the Cancel
function button stops the current traffic announce-
ment.

Introduction
Some units also have a DAB radio receiver. DAB is a broadcasting standard
for the overland reception of radio programmes

Operation
In Europe, digital radio has two DAB broadcasting standards, DAB+ and
DMB radio. The digital radio broadcasts on frequencies from waveband III
(174 MHz to 240 MHz) and waveband L (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called “channels”, and are abbreviated
accordingly (for example, 12 A).
In one channel, several DAB stations join together with the additional avail-
able services, forming an “Ensemble”.
These additional services are used to send additional information to the ra-
dio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.). DAB is currently
not available in all areas. When the DAB radio mode is ac-
tive, in areas where DAB is not available, the symbol of an aerial crossed
out is displayed.
Depending on the settings, in DAB mode incoming DAB messages are
played (for example, news, sport, weather forecasts, warnings, etc.)
⇒ page 27.
As a general rule, while you are driving the DAB tracking function changes
to the channel of the currently playing digital station with the best recep-
tion. This permits additional settings to be made ⇒ page 27.
Note
If the symbol of a crossed-out aerial is displayed “”, this indicates that
the currently playing digital station on the channel selected is no longer
available in this location.
Note
Some digital stations also offer the radio text service. This is activated in
exactly the same way as for a conventional radio station ⇒ page 21.
Note
The DAB radio receiver is compatible with the DAB and DAB+ standards. 
