How does RDS work?
The RDS ( Radio Data System) function is al-
ways active for the radio navigation system. In
addition to their programming, the radio
stations also transmit RDS information that is
picked up by the RDS receiver in coded form.
The following functions are controlled by the
codes received:
– Program identification (PI code)
The radio is able to identify the station received
by its PI code.
– Program Service Name (PS code)
The PS code communicates the station name
that appears in the radio information display,
e.g. Radio 21.
Because a number of stations use the station
name for advertising purposes, you can select
a fixed name for the station in the “Audio set-
ting” menu (access the menu via the “Settings”
menu field).
– Alternate frequencies (AF code)
Because the stations on the FM waveband,
e.g. Radio 21, have a limited range of
reception, the programming is transmitted by
several different transmitters on different
frequencies. The AF code communicates all
the frequencies that come into question for the
RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEM19
AUDIO
corresponding programming to the system.
RDS then ensures that the system
automatically tunes into the frequency with the
best reception for the station selected. This
process takes place virtually inaudibly.
–Traffic program code (TP code = Traf-
fic Program)
This code informs the system that the station
currently playing is a traffic information station.
“FM1 1 Radio 21 TP”, for example, will ap-
pear in the display.
– Traffic announcement code (TA code
= Traffic Announcement)
On the basis of the TA code, the system is able
to identify a traffic announcement. When the
radio or CD player is set to “very quiet”, the
system will automatically switch to the traffic
announcement in the programmed volume. At
the same time, the system will also switch to
mono reception. A message such as “TP1 NDR
2 Info TP” will appear on the screen.
– EON (Enhanced Information Concern-
ing Other Networks)
EON is an RDS function that ensures that all
the traffic information broadcast by a radio sta-
tion network is transmitted to the system.
Larger radio station networks, e.g. NDR, often
transmit different programming at the same
time, e.g. NDR 1, NDR 2, NDR 3, etc.
Regardless of the programming that you may
be listening to, the system will transmit any traf-
fic announcement broadcast by the other sta-
tions in the same station network. ExampleExample ExampleExample
Example
You have tuned the radio into NDR 3. If there
is a traffic announcement on NDR 2, the
system will automatically switch to this
frequency for the duration of the message.
After the end of the traffic announcement, the
system will switch back to NDR 3.
– Emergency announcements
Emergency announcement have priority over
all other functions. “Alarm” will appear on the
screen during an emergency message. Selecting a fixed RDS name

Radio stations sometimes divide their program-
ming into regional programming at certain
times of the day. The 1st program in the NDR
network, for example, serves Schleswig-
Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony, states
in northern Germany, with regional program-
ming with different contents.
At first, the system will tune into only those
alternative frequencies for the radio station se-
lected.
However, if the reception quality deteriorates
to the point that the radio might “lose” the sta-
tion, the system will also switch to frequencies
used by a “related” NDR 1 station. Because
these radio stations sometimes broadcast dif-
ferent contents, this might mean that you will
hear a different program.

As a rule, the system will only switch to other
frequencies for the same station with the same
PI code. However, if the reception deteriorates
beyond a certain point, the system will also
automatically switch to a regionally related
broadcasting network.
Use the RDS-Regional function in the “Audio
setting” menu to switch “RDS REG” to “auto”
or “off”.
auto - If you select this setting, the system will
switch to a regionally related transmission fre-
quency when station reception deteriorates

Notes on RDS reception
•After you switch the system on, the radio
will look for the best reception frequency for
the station you have tuned into. Depending on
your location and the number of alternate fre-
quencies, the system may remain mute for
several seconds.
•Depending on the strength of the reception
signal, it may take the system several minutes
to evaluate the RDS information.
•The system is unable to evaluate RDS in-
formation for very weak signals. In this case,
the station frequency will appear in place of
the station name in the status line or the infor-
mation field.
•When reception is poor (e.g. in mountain-
ous areas), the system will check the alternate
frequencies often. This means that the radio
might switch to mute briefly.
•If the radio frequently switches to mute or
experiences very poor reception in certain ar-
eas, it is possible to temporarily switch the RDS
function off.
Traffic information
Many FM stations transmit regular traffic infor-
mation for their reception areas.
After you select a radio station, the system will
check to see whether or not it broadcasts traf-
fic information.
•The radio station selected is a TP station
(“TP” will appear behind the station name in
the information field of the main radio menu). The system will remain tuned to this station.
The functions for “traffic information standby”
and “EON” are active.
•If the radio station you have tuned into is
not a traffic information station or is not within
reception range, the system will automatically
search for another traffic information station
within reception range (seek tuning start). The
following message will appear in the radio in-
formation display: “TP SEEK”.
