It also reads radio stations and tells you what station you are listing to and the name of the song playing.

Yeah, that's the RBS feature (or some such 3-letter acronym). That feature has really been an education for me ... I've been listening to songs for years and never knew the name of the band/artist. Now I do !!! However, it only works if the station is broadcasting the RBS signal.Originally Posted by Big House

Cool, I'll have to set the volume tomorrow, I already figured the RDS by myself!!
Too bad it does not have the delayed shutdown like my 96 does, the radio stays on after shutting the engine off till you open the door or after 20 min.

With regards to the RDS, don't be surprised when it doesn't work that great. Most radio stations don't update their songs in a timely manner and therefore you get inaccurate information. Even worse is when the signal gets scrambled and you get part of the artist name and part of the song title.
This is why my lowly college station, which COULD use this technology, chooses only to put our call letters in RDS. Less mumbo-jumbo to get all messed up.

The other half of the RDS button lets you pinpoint the place you want the music centered, all seats, driver seat, or rear seat.
