Radio103Radio data system (RDS)
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.
● 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 configuration
Touch Menu in the bottom line of 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
current audio source is interrupted for
the duration of the traffic
announcement.
Activating the traffic programme
function
Select Menu in the bottom line of the
FM radio main menu to open the
corresponding waveband-specific
submenu.
Touch the screen button next to
Traffic Programme to activate or
deactivate the function.Notice
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
highlighted. If no radio traffic service station is found, TP remains greyed-
out.
If a traffic announcement is
broadcasted on the respective
station, a message is displayed.
To interrupt the announcement and
return to the function previously
activated, touch the screen or press
m .
Regionalisation Sometimes RDS stations broadcast
regionally different programmes on
different frequencies.

104RadioSelect Menu in the bottom line of the
FM radio main menu to open the
corresponding waveband-specific
submenu and scroll to Region.
Activate or deactivate Region.
If regionalisation is activated,
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.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information ● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcasted on a single
ensemble.
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associateddata and a multitude of other data services including travel and
traffic 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 and/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 isimproved, 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 3 103 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 all categories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
Select Menu in the bottom line of the
DAB radio main menu to open the corresponding waveband-specific
submenu.
