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 .
Additional Information:

● Unit overview ⇒ page 8

Note
The radio station is responsible for the content of the broadcast informa-
tion. RDS and radio text
Fig. 15 Main RADIO
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. 

played.
● Select the stored station ⇒ page 14.
● Wait until the correct station name is displayed and then briefly press
the setting knob ⇒ Fig. 1 10

While the traffic news tracking function is on, the news bulletins will be acti-
vated in the audio mode currently playing.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if the TP station

function by being linked to a traffic news station (EON). Traffic announce-
ments broadcast by the linked traffic news station interrupt the current au-
dio mode.
