2019.1 OPEL COMBO E service

Radio23Radio data systemRadio data system (RDS) is a service
of FM stations that considerably
facilitates 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 that is received, the Infotainment
system displays radio text that
can contain e.g. information on
the current programme.RDS configuration
In the radio main menu select
OPTIONS and then select Radio
settings to open the menu for RDS
configuration.
Activating RDS
Select General and then activate
Alternative frequency .
If Alternative frequency is activated,
RDS is displayed in the bottom line of
the radio main menu.
Radio text
If RDS is activated, information on the radio programme currently active or
the music track currently playing are
displayed below the programme
name.
To show or hide the information,
activate or deactivate Display radio
text .
Traffic announcements
Many RDS stations broadcast traffic
news. If the traffic announcements
function is activated, radio or media
playback is interrupted for the
duration of a traffic announcement.Select Announcements and then
activate or deactivate Traffic
announcement .
If Traffic announcement is activated,
TA is displayed in the bottom line of
the radio main menu.
Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB)
broadcasts radio stations digitally.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information ● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single 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.

24Radio● As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver,
reception is interrupted
completely. This incident can be
avoided by activating DAB-FM
auto tracking, 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 thebackground and continually
searches for the FM stations with
the best reception. If Traffic
announcement 3 23 is activated,
traffic announcements of the FM
station with the best reception
are issued. Deactivate Traffic
announcement if DAB reception
should not be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.
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 currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
In the radio main menu select
OPTIONS , select Radio settings and
then select Announcements .
Activate the desired announcement
categories, e.g., News or Weather .
Different announcement categories
can be selected at the same time.FM-DAB Linking
This function enables switching from
an FM station to a corresponding
DAB station and vice versa.
Switching from FM to DAB occurs as
soon as a corresponding DAB station is available. Therefore, it is
recommended to store favourite
stations as DAB stations to reduce
frequent switching.
Switching from DAB to FM occurs if
the signal is too weak to be picked up by the receiver.
Activation
Precondition is that Alternative
frequency is activated before FM-
DAB Linking can be activated.
To activate FM-DAB Linking, select
OPTIONS in the radio main menu and
then select FM-DAB Follow-up in the
Radio settings .
The following symbol will be
displayed when FM-DAB Linking is
activated:

TMC traffic information system and
dynamic route guidance

receives all current traffic information from TMC radio stations. This
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During
this process, the route is planned so
that traffic problems related to pre-
selected criteria are avoided.
To be able to use TMC traffic
information, the system must receive
TMC stations in the relevant region.
Map data
All required map data is stored within
the Infotainment system.
To update the navigation map data,
we recommend to contact your Opel
