(Enhanced Other Networks)

Many FM broadcasters provide their service area with traffic messages at regular inter- vals.

All traffic program stations transmit a special telegram signal alongside their programs, which is recognised and decoded by the car radio.

As soon as such a signal is received, the display shows “TP” (Traffic Program). Other radio stations do not actually air traffic announcements themselves, but by using RDS-EON they make it possible to receive the traffic announcements of another station within the same radio network. In this case, “TP” will light up in the display as soon as the priority for traffic announcements is activa- ted. The display must then show “TA”.

If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic program for the duration of the messa- ge and return to the original program after the end of the message.

Warning beep

If you leave the reception area of the traffic program station you are currently listening to, you will hear a warning beep after approxi- mately 30 seconds.
