Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Viewing & Selecting RDS Information For Display
Press the TUNE knob once for less then 2 seconds when the radio displays the program service (PS) name and the frequency of the station will be displayed. Press the knob again, and the program type (P-Type) will be displayed. Pressed again, and the program type (PTY) name will be displayed, if the broadcaster is broadcasting one. The PTY name is an eight-character name that the broadcaster may use to further identify the type of programming currently being broadcast. Should you decide that frequency, P-Type or PTY name is more desirable to display when tuned to an RDS station than the PS name, press the TUNE knob until the desired information is displayed, then press and hold for more than 2 seconds. A beep should be heard and the radio will now display the selected information whenever tuned to an RDS broadcaster. The radio will display frequency for all non-RDS broadcast stations.
