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 that is received, the Infotainment
system displays radio text that
can contain e.g. information on
the current programme.RDS settings
To configure the RDS settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the FM waveband.
Press MENU to display the FM
waveband menu.
RDS

Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If the traffic service is switched on, the
currently active function is interrupted for the duration of the traffic
announcement.

(TP) .
If the radio traffic service is activated, [TP] is shown in the top line of all main

station, [ ] is displayed and a search
is started automatically for the next
radio traffic service station. As soonas a radio traffic service station is

Digital audio broadcasting
DAB broadcasts radio stations
digitally.
Radio95Advantages of DAB● DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.
● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcast 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 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.
● 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 can be avoided
by activating DAB to DABLinking 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 AMand 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 FM stations with
the best reception. If TP 3 94 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TP if DAB reception should not
be interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.DAB settings

options, activate the radio function
