RDS* and TP* radio data services (Traffic
Programme) Introduction
RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio data service that provides additional
services such as displaying the station name, automatic station tracking, ra-
dio text and the TP function (Traffic Programme).
RDS is not available for all units, all locations, nor all radio stations. In some
units you can disconnect the RDS function ⇒ page 40.
In general without RDS the RDS radio data services are not available.
To guarantee the best reception in places where RDS is available for the sta-
tions tuned in, select the following system settings ⇒ page 40:
● RDS ON
● ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY ON
● RDS REGIONAL AUTO
Depending on the unit some settings may not be selected.

TP traffic news station function (Traffic Programme)
Fig. 10 Traffic news monitoring in Media mode.
The TP (Traffic Programme) function is not available for all versions.
When the radio version does not have the traffic news reception function,
no action is taken when the TP
button is pressed (
TP is not displayed in the
upper left of the screen).
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP ⇒ fig. 9), traffic announce-
ments will interrupt the current Audio mode.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if a traffic news
station is available.
Some stations that do not have their own traffic news support the TP func-
tion by broadcasting traffic announcements from other stations (EON). Traf-
fic announcements broadcast by the linked traffic stations interrupt the cur-
rent Audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the unit button TP
⇒ fig. 1
2.
If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the TP
function, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TP
SEEK). While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active,
TP is displayed at
the top left of the screen ⇒ fig. 9.
● Press the TP
unit button to switch the TP function off again.
Active TP function and station selection
In FM mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a station
selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the TP
function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,
NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station search using the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker switch ⇒ fig. 1 ⇒  page 13.
During a station search with the  SEEK / ... 
rocker switch or the scan func-
tion (SCAN), the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
If you activate the TP function in areas where TP is not available, it will be-
gin to search for traffic news stations but it will not be able find any. The
search will finish on the last station you were listening to. The TP function
will remain on (display: No TP). We recommend you deactivate the TP func-
tion, otherwise in the next station search with the  SEEK / ... 
rocker switch
no stations will be found.
In AM mode or Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will always
automatically tune to a traffic news station in the background, provided the
reception of said station is good. This may take some time depending on
the situation. In AM mode or Media mode the currently selected traffic news
station is displayed next to TP ⇒ fig. 10.
In units with a DAB radio receiver, depending on the settings, the traffic an-
nouncements from a DAB traffic news station can be played ( DAB TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCEMENT ON ⇒ page 40).

DAB* radio mode
Function only available in Europe
Introduction
Some units also have a DAB radio receiver. DAB is a digital broadcasting
standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
Operation
DAB is also known as “digital radio” and is broadcast over band III
(174 MHz - 240 MHz) and band L (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called “channels” and have an abbrevia-
tion (e.g. 12 A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional services
available in a station “ensemble”.
Using these additional services additional information can be sent to the
radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.).
DAB is currently not available in all areas. When in DAB radio mode in areas
with no DAB reception,  is displayed.
Settings can be made to display and play messages, to browse stations and
to browse traffic news stations (TP function) ⇒ page 40.

Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage
may render a data medium unusable. Observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Observe copyright laws!
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista ®
ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for
recording. Compatibility with all encoding/recording software, recording de-
vices and recording media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible USB devi-
ces can make noise, interrupt playback or not playback at all. Information
can be found on the Internet on the best ways to create audio files and data
media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium
containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a normal audio
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data me-
dium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in
a playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data me-
dium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths). Playing order for audio data CDs
Fig. 14 Example of an
MP3 CD structure.
Audio files  on data media are often organised by means of folders  and
playlists  to determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order.
Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the se-
quence on the CD.
The illustration ⇒ fig. 14 shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks ,
folders  and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in
