I thought I read that the radio (I have the Pro Nav) had the RDS display for the radio stations??? Although, I have yet to see any with this car. My last car had 6 of 8 shown with the radio station's call letters, etc. (e.g., KRXT - 98 Rock).

Thanks all...

Ihave mine with RDS. It shows the name of the stations etc. My package is standard sound. your radio should be able to do that.

It should definitely be on... if the signal is weak it can take longer to display (and with the NavPro you likely have the Prof radio which features two tuners to ensure that that is not the case)

I've read other posts from people on the Roadfly board that are having the same issues. Maybe it's because you two are in Europe?

Any more responses out there? Again, I only see the RDS when the "All Stations" selection is made. Not on "Manual" or "Presets" though. Strange.

Hi...

I have the standard issue without Nav (@ the moment, it will be refitted in may or june) and it's the same with my car. In the "Memorised Stations" list it shows just the frequencies.

I called the dealer and he told me, this issue is known and will be fitted with the next software-version called "Zip-11"...
