I haven't been able to find how to disable the RDS feature on the radio.. read through the manual, did I miss it somewhere?

Thanks.

Hey bro, first scroll to SCV using the Audio button, then to Off, Low, Mid, or High using the tune button. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

That disables the speed-control volume feature. It doesn't do anything for the RDS info (radio station call sign, and possibly advertisements, scrolling on your display).

now i know why the radio gets louder when i roll down the windows. never bothered to look at the manuel for that.

 

Don't know why the windows would make a difference, it adjusts the volume based on the speed of the vehicle.

Can't find anything on RDS in the book but it describes PTY or CAT (program type, category). Not sure if this is what you're talking about, but as you said it's obviously different than the SCV feature, my bad. (had a brain fart).. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

may i ask why you want to disable it

 

I'd like to disable it so that I see the Radio Station's actual frequency (99.9 Mhz), and not its call sign (WBBY) on the display.

I C that is a good point. I never really noticed that it did not say the sation number. hmmm sorry guess im no help

 

Seriously, no has run into this before? There's got to be a way to get rid of it...

There are a couple of stations in town that have RDS info. I can't figure how to turn it off. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a way, this head unit is missing some other "normal" features... so far I've noticed you can't mute it or pause a CD, other than just turning the darn thing off.

Oh, and here's a couple of other reasons why you might want to turn off RDS:

1) I've heard some stations in Las Vegas use the RDS info to scroll advertisements across your radio display.

2) I don't know if it's supported here, but in Europe, RDS allows the radio to jump to traffic alerts, then jump back to the station you were on. Some pirate radio stations have figured out how to use RDS to make radios in their broadcast range switch over to the pirate station and stay there. On radios where RDS can't be disabled, the only way to get off that station is to drive out of range.

turn it off? how about how u turn it on?? I get the regular station numbers

 

I believe it has to do with the station that is broadcasting. In the SF Bay Area, I only get a few stations that display the "call sign" of the station, while most are old fashioned frequency. I have not found a way to disable the RDS feature, though.

If the station is broadcasting an RDS signal, you'll see the "RDS" light near the upper-left of the radio display turn on.
