As per my dealer RDS will not be longer available. I upgraded to 13.2 and it does not have it (Automatic A/C feature is gone too). They told me that 15 will not have it either.

[/quote]When Auto is engaged (iDrive - > Climate) the airflow is adjusted and distributed automatically to your legs, upper body and windshield. After I upgraded to 13.2 that feature was gone. My service adviser told me that apparently Auto flow was to buggy, so they decided to get rid of it. Personally, I never had any problems with it. After 13.2 upgrade my car manual does not match some of the functions as they were replaced.

Sounds very weird that RDS isn't going to reappear.
AFAIK the only main difference between the Business and Professional radio is the RDS/dual tuner feature.. and I presume Professional radio is std. in the US?

RDS doesn't change nav routes and doesn't even give you infos about traffic jams, etc.... That is TMC.
RDS is only providing text that the radio station sends. It can be infos, artist name, song name, news... Or just the name of the station. TMC is the traffic info system.

[/quote]TMC? I have not seen that on my car. Is that specific to only German/European Spec cars?

[/quote]You mean Auto feature? I don't think it was specific to my car only as operations are described in the manual.

It's a signal that comes from the radio stations. US stations don't send such signals.
