Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) - HU- 803 only
This feature, which may not work in your area, functions only with FM broadcasts. The HU - 803 radio in your car is
equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together
with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique
features. The RDS or Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is
supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or
information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific descriptions and operation of these functions.
