RDS Functions

Overview of the RDS Function

RDS (Radio Data System) is a system which uses FM radio waves to receive digital signals. Receiving RDS data with your car stereo unit allows it to use a variety of services. There are several ways to use these services. For instance, you can receive information such as traffic announcements and station names, or you can cause the unit to automatically retune to the strongest signal that is broadcasting the same programme. So even if you travel a long distance, it is still possible to listen to the same programme without having to retune manually again and again. Another function allows you to receive traffic announcements during CD playback.

RDS offers various functions, but depending on the country or region, not all of these are available. The following information explains the RDS functions of this unit.
