Looks like you have old CIP version. Mine was updated to 19.x and it has RDS.

vishwen says that his car is EU spec.... all EU spec cars had RDS ever since.... it is a very basic system in Europe for almost 10 years already..... even the cheapest have RDS......
in another words RDS on EU E60 even with CIP 10
so there is some other problem but the CIP....

vishwen are you sure you have EU spec car??? EU soft??

Radio Data Service..... in reality it means that instead of the FM frequnce numbers on your radio display you can see the actual name of the station or even names of the song scrolling on the display etc.....
basicaly the radio station broadcasts text data for your radio display as well besides music
