Find a detailed description 3 49.Radio data system (RDS)
RDS is a service of FM stations that
considerably improves the finding of the 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 received,
the Infotainment system displays
radio text that can contain e.g.
information on the current
programme.

Traffic Programme (TP)
Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If the traffic service is switched on, the
function currently active 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

50Radio
played is not a radio traffic service
station, [ ] is displayed and a search
is started automatically for the next
radio traffic service station available.
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 - On or Region - Off .
If regionalisation is switched on,
alternative frequencies with the same
regional programmes are selected if
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 be
broadcasted 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 abroadcasting station (even if thesignal 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 can
be 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 (a
phenomenon 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 49 is activated,

station which is currently best
