Radio mode: Radio Data System

The Radio Data System is a service provided by radio stations. In addition to
traditional music and voice services they also broadcast additional
information in the form of encrypted digital signals and these are displayed
by the car radio. This information – such as the station's name or name of the
track being played – is shown on the screen.
If the station does not send any RDS signals, the frequency is shown rather
than the station's name.
If the station that sends RDS signals
also provides traffic
announcements "TP" ("Traffic
Programme") is shown on the
screen.

Alternative frequencies (AF button)

One function of RDS is the AF function in the FM band ("AF" = "Alternative
Frequencies"). In RDS mode if you leave the range of a transmitting station
you switch automatically to another frequency. The change is only successful
if the PI codes match (the PI code is the programme identification that
uniquely marks the programmes and station chains). This avoids switching to
a frequency which is occupied by a different programme.
Briefly press the AF button to
switch the AF function for the
RDS mode on or off. If the
function is on the display shows
"AF".
The AF indicator in the display flashes when no RDS information is
available.
