RDS is setup on my car. I love those station/song names display.

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.

The station sends data. So whatever they send you'll see it. Some stations even provide floating text. Weather, News... anything they want...
Doesn'T automatically mean you will allways see the name of the song and artist, just if the station provides you with the info and sends it with RDS.

Only your dealer can tell you.
