RDS Functions
Overview of the RDS
Function
Function
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system which uses
FM radio waves to receive digital signals.
Receiving RDS data with your car stereo unit
allows it to use a variety of services. There are
several ways to use these services. For instance,
you can receive information such as traffic
announcements and station names, or you can
cause the unit to automatically retune to the
strongest signal that is broadcasting the same
programme. So even if you travel a long distance,
it is still possible to listen to the same programme
without having to retune manually again and
again. Another function allows it to receive traffic
announcements during tape, CD or MD playback.
RDS offers various functions, but depending
on the country or region, not all of these are
available. Following information explains the
RDS functions of this unit.
