Radio data system (RDS):
RDS stands for Radio Data System, and is a data information service transmitted by some radio stations on the FM band (not AM band). Currently, most RDS stations are in large cities, but many stations are now considering broadcasting RDS data.
RDS can display:
- Station call sign, such as WHFR 98.3.
- Station name, such as The Groove.
- Music or programming type such as Classical , Country, or Rock.
When the Text key is selected with the NISSAN controller on the display while the radio is playing, additional information is displayed on the screen.
If the station broadcasts RDS information, the RDS icon is displayed.
