What is RDS ?

Radio Data SystemRadio Data System

Radio Data System

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM radio

stations to transmit additional information

alongside their regular programmes. This

information may include the station name and

the type of program being broadcast, i.e. rock,

classic, news.

Enhanced Other Networks (EON)Enhanced Other Networks (EON)

Enhanced Other Networks (EON)

Another feature of RDS is called EON

(Enhanced Other Networks) which offers local

stations the ability to ‘break into’ a national

station’s broadcast for the duration of a traffic

announcement.

The EON feature will work even if a CD is being

played.

PI (Program Identification Code)PI (Program Identification Code)

PI (Program Identification Code)

Code for identifying programs.

AF (Alternative Frequency)AF (Alternative Frequency)

AF (Alternative Frequency)

The EON data sent to the unit will contain

information about other frequencies the station

can be heard on. This radio will retune to a

different frequency when the current signal

becomes weak, assuming an alternative

frequency is available for the station. For this to

happen, the AF function must be switched on.

Sometimes the radio will keep trying to find a

stronger signal which can become distracting.

This can be overcome by switching the AF

functionoff.

In theory, if travelling around the country, it

should be possible to listen to all the national

stations without having to manually retune.

ype (PTY)

A function that enables the car radio to select

radio stations by their programming type (i.e.

f)f)

Many local radio stations have limited

coverage and may be linked together

according to their region. If the signal from one

local radio station becomes weak, the RDS

radio can switch to another local station in the

same region. If you wish the radio to stay

tuned to the same station regardless of the

signal strength or quality, then you should turn

theRegional facilityoff.

unit will not interfere with the normal

driving function of the driver.

Before finally installing the unit, connect

the wiring temporarily and make sure it is

all connected up properly and the unit

modifications to the vehicle.

If the installation angle exceeds 30

degrees from the horizontal, the unit may

not give its optimum performance.

Avoid installing the unit where it would be

Installation

Connection diagramConnection diagram

Connection diagram

The diagram showing the connection of the

unit to the car is shown on the next page.

Most modern cars are fitted with an ISO

connector that is ready-wired to all of these

items fitted in the car, (except the aerial input

lead). The unit is fitted with an ISO connector

that will join with the ISO connector in the car.

Some older cars will not have an ISO

connector. In these cases you will need to

obtain a “patch cable assembly” that connects

to the connector that is fitted. The other end of

this cable has an ISO connector to mate with

that from the unit. This patch cable should be

obtained for the model of car to be fitted with

the unit and should be available from good car

accessory shops.

This unit is suitable for use in vehicles which have a negative earth system.

e.g.: the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the chassis.
