Digital radio*
Digital radio (DAB6) is a digital broadcasting
system for radio. The radio supports DAB,
DAB+ and DMB7.
•
RDS (Radio Data System) means that the
radio automatically changes to the strongest
transmitter. RDS provides the ability to
receive e.g. traffic information and to search
for certain programme types.
RDS links FM transmitters into a network. An
FM transmitter in such a network sends infor-
mation that gives an RDS radio the following
functions:
•
The radio can be operated
using voice recognition, the
steering wheel keypad or the
centre display.
Switch automatically to a stronger trans-
mitter if reception in the area is poor.
•
•
•
The digital radio app is
launched from app view in
the centre display.
Search for programme category, e.g. pro-
gramme types or traffic information.
Receive text information on current radio
programme.
Digital radio is played back in the same way as
other radio bands, such as FM. Besides the
option to select playback from Stations,
Favourites and Genres, there is also the
option to select playback from subchannels
and Ensembles. An ensemble is a set of radio
channels (a channel group) broadcasting on
the same frequency.
Some radio stations do not use RDS or
only selected parts of its functionality.
When broadcasting news or traffic messages,
the radio can switch stations, interrupting the
audio source currently in use. The radio returns
to the previous audio source and volume when
the set programme type is no longer broad-

Media player
Secondary components are usually named
subchannels. These are temporary and can
contain e.g. translations of the main pro-
gramme into other languages. Subchannels
are indicated with an arrow symbol in the
channel list.
The function enables the digital radio (DAB)
to switch from a channel with poor or no
reception to the same channel in another
channel group (ensemble) with better recep-
tion, within DAB and/or between DAB and
FM.
The media player can play back audio from
external audio sources connected via the
USB port or Bluetooth. It can also play back
video format via the USB port.
When the car is connected to the internet, it is
also possible to listen to web radio, audio
books and music services via apps.
