Anyone have this problem too ? I can see the RDS station names on the bottom line of the Idrive home screen and on the screen where you can scan up and down the FM frequency. However on the memorised stattions screen all i get is the frequency against each preset rather than the station name. Any help gratefully received.

I think when you click on "Set" and scroll to "RDS", you can set it on or off.

I found you have to save the station at the right time. When it cycles through the station number, name and song save that station as your favorite when u see the station name. You have to do it fast. Timing is key. Thats how I saved mine and I haven't played with it since.

Otherwise you end up with garbage ( partial song titles etc.) displayed like me and there is no way to clear it out that I know of. Even if you store the stations with RDS off and then turn it back on, you see what ever was broadcasting via RDS at the moment you stored it.
