I hope this link helps Pockey.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System

Basically, it allows music tracks or traffic data to be displayed on the face of your radio.

This is the step between FM radio and full digital Radio.

Still waiting for photos.

You mean we have this working in Australia? I had a traffic update via a GPS subscription option but didn't take it up.

I had RDS on an aftermarket CD/radio in our previous car but I could never get anything on it.
