It does? What button are you using to adjust that? Please lemme know!
I wanna know too, I have never found that on mine.

Is the RBDS the part that makes the station name show up, cause that all I have ever noticed mine to do. (or maybe thats a radio station broadcasting function cause I have noticed that only some stations will display the name)

The Audiophile has the option, you have to turn it on. Can't remember off hand, its in your maual though - manual should have instructions for all the headunits. Actually I think you hold down the MENU button and it will say RDS off - then use the < > arrows to turn it on

I think you have to hold in the Menu button to activate the RBDS. Only a handful of stations actually show any data.

If you check out the owner's manual in your glove box, it should have details on all the functions of the radio.

My 06 audiophile system doesn't have RBDS, However my 04 audiophile system did. I really didn't care for it anyways. It always displayed a bunch of garbage.

i could be wrong, but as far as i can tell, the systems with the MP3 capabilities do not have the RDS stuff.

erick - are you sure....try holding down the Menu button for two seconds...don't scroll through it like you normally would - but hold it down and your RDS options should appear. My brothers '05 "Preimum/Audiophile" and my '05's "non-Preimum/Audiophile" both have the RDS feature.....

DSP? OR RDS? This thread has got confusing now

If you are talking DSP, what is the title in the menu functions? Please let me know.

My Lariat SCREW w/ Audiophile was built in May 05....Sounds like they swapped radios around a bit or something
