Radio data system (RDS)
RDS is a service of FM stations that considerably improves the finding ofthe desired station and its fault-free
reception.Advantages of RDS
■ On the display, the programme name of the station appears
instead of its frequency.
■ During a station search the Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.
■ The Infotainment system always tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set
station by means of AF (alternative
frequency).
■ Depending on the station that is received, the Infotainment system
displays radio text that can contain
e.g. information on the current
programme.
FM menu
To configure the RDS settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the FM waveband.
Press the MENU knob to display the
FM menu.

Traffic Programme (TP)
Radio traffic service stations are RDS stations that broadcast traffic news. Ifthe traffic service is switched on, the
currently active function is interrupted
for the duration of the traffic
announcement.
If the radio traffic service is activated,
[TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station or media played is not a radio traffic service
station, [ ] is displayed and a search
is started automatically for the next
Radio121
radio traffic service station. As soon
as a radio traffic service station is
found, [TP] is highlighted. If no radio
traffic service station is found, [ ]
remains on the screen.
If a traffic announcement is
broadcasted on the respective radio
traffic service station, a message is
displayed.
To interrupt the announcement and
return to the function previously
activated, dismiss the alert.
Region
Sometimes RDS stations broadcast
regionally different programmes on
different frequencies.
Set Region to On or Off.
If regionalisation is switched on,
alternative frequencies with the same regional programmes are selected
where necessary.
If regionalisation is switched off,
alternative frequencies of the stations
are selected without regard to
regional programmes.Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcasting system.
Advantages of DAB ■ DAB stations are indicated by the programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
■ With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcasted on a single frequency(ensemble).
■ Besides high-quality digital audio services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data
services including travel and traffic
information.
■ As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out by a
broadcasting station (even if the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
■ There is no fading (weakening of the sound that is typical of AM orFM reception). The DAB signal is
reproduced at a constant volume.
If the DAB signal is too weak to be
picked up by the receiver, reception is interrupted completely. This canbe avoided by activating DAB to
DAB Linking and/or DAB to FM
Linking in the DAB option menu
(see below).
■ Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not occur with DAB.
■ If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings, the
reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably impaired in such cases.
■ When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainment
system remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable FM stations. If TP 3 120 is activated,
traffic announcements of the FM station which is currently best
122Radio
receivable are issued. Deactivate
TP, if DAB reception should not be
interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.

options, activate the radio function

categories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an

made.

display the DAB categories list.
Select the desired categories. The
selected categories are marked with
9 .

switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (frequency, if available)
when the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver.
Set DAB to DAB Linking to On or Off.DAB to FM Linking
If this function is activated, the device switches over to a corresponding FM
station of the active DAB service (if
available) when the DAB signal is too
weak to be picked up by the receiver.
Set DAB to FM Linking to On or Off.
L Band
If L Band is activated, the
Infotainment system receives an
