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.
FM Menu
To configure the RDS settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the FM waveband.Select the MENU screen button in the
interaction selector bar to display the
FM Menu.
RDS
Set RDS - On or RDS - Off .
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,
traffic announcements of the FM
station which is currently best

Radio51
receivable are issued. Deactivate
TP, if you do not wish DAB
reception to be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.
DAB Menu
To configure the DAB settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the DAB waveband.
Select the MENU screen button in the
interaction selector bar to display the
DAB Menu.
DAB Announcements
Besides their music programmes, a
lot of DAB stations also broadcast announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or all categories, the DAB service currently
received is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
Select DAB Announcements to
display the DAB categories list.
Select the desired categories. The
categories selected are marked with
9 .
Notice
DAB announcements can only be
received if the DAB waveband is
activated.
DAB to DAB Linking
If this function is activated, the device 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 additional frequency range. The
frequencies for L-band comprise
earth and satellite radio (1452 - 1492
MHz).
Set L Band to On or Off.
Intellitext
The Intellitext function allows for the
reception of additional information
such as announcements, financial
information, sports, news etc.
Select one of the categories and
choose a specific item to display
detailed information.
