Special RDS functions (AF, REG)
The special RDS functions for AF (Al-
ternativ Frequency) and REG (Re-
gional) enhance the performance of
your car audio system.
AF: If this RDS function is activated, the
car audio system continuously searches
in the background for the frequency with
the best reception for the station you
have tuned into.
REG: A number of radio stations broad-
cast different regional programming at
different times of the day. Use REG to
prevent your car audio system from tun-

might have different programming.
Note:
It is necessary to activate/deactivate
