RDS OPERATION
Radio Data System (RDS) is a digital information system that sends additional digital information along with the regular FM radio programme signal. As soon as a radio station has been identified, the station name, including a regional identifier if applicable, will appear in the display window, for example SWF4MZ (local radio station of Rhein hassen, Germany). This is also one of the RDS functions. Your car stereo offers you more convenience when receiving FM stations with RDS.
