Numerous RDS 3 137 and DAB
3 138 stations broadcast a PTY
code, which specifies the type of
programme transmitted (e.g. news). Some stations also change the PTY
code depending on the content which
is currently transmitted.
The Infotainment system stores these stations, sorted by programme type in
the corresponding category list.

138RadioAdvantages 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.
RDS settings

options, activate the radio function
and then select the FM waveband.
Press MENU to display the FM
waveband menu.
RDS
Set RDS to On or Off.Notice
If RDS is set to Off, RDS functions

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 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 be
broadcasted on a single
frequency (ensemble).

Radio139●Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data services including travel andtraffic information.
● As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out bya 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 or
FM 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 Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable
FM stations. If TP 3 137 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the current best reception are issued.
Deactivate TP if DAB reception
should not be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.
DAB settings
To configure the DAB settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the DAB waveband.
Press MENU to display the DAB
waveband menu.
DAB Announcements
Besides their music programmes, a
lot of DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of variouscategories. If you activate some or all categories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
Select DAB Announcements to
display the DAB categories list.
Select the desired categories. The
selected categories 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.
