. but mine still shows the radio frequency instead of the station/song names just because the radio stations here don't support that 
. so i think you need to have s/w update in order for you to get it

Since I took delivery three months ago, RDS has never worked in my 530i.? Recently, I used the second key and voila! - RDS works with that key.? I can't figure out how to reset I-Drive to enable RDS with the first key.? This is not a feature I particularly care about, but I am perplexed.? Is this a symptom of the flawed software?? Is the second key possessed?

? there is a little box you have to check in order for you to activate rds. two different keys have two different settings. probably the second key has that box checked but not the first key.[snapback]50833[/snapback]
[/quote]I've looked for the setting in I-drive and find nothing. Guess I'll wait for the software upgrade to see what that does.

Does anyone with NAV actually have RDS working? I've searched everywhere in the i Drive and can't find it on mine. I have a July build 04 and recently upgraded to get bluetooth.

My Ride: 530i - Premium Pkg, Logic 7 Premium Sound, Sport Pkg, Xenon, NAV, HUD.
Now that you mention it, my RDS is not working either. I have NAV & HUD and swore the RDS was working during my test drive.
It's not working anymore though. Not sure what happened.

Radio Data Service, or something like that. Many radio stations send a signal with their broadcast that provides artist and song, or other programming info. With RDS on, where you typically see the station number, e.g. 92.3, you see the station's call signal, name, the artist and track name, etc, typically scrolling.

RDS works fine with both keys since the software upgrade.? There is a setting in I-Drive where it can be turned on or off.
