I will check that out on my way to work this morning.

If you check out the owner's manual in your glove box, it should have details on all the functions of the radio.
SteveVFX4, I have RBDS. Held down the menu button and Viola!

Well, I pressed and held the menu button, and guess what I do have it on my 06. I guess that the 04 radio must be different than the 06.

Yes I finally read the manual for my 05 and it states that all Audiophile radios are RDS compatible.

Just wondering I have the premium non-audiophile system would it be worth it to swap out that one and put all the audiophile stuff in?

audiophile system

i bought a 6disc/mp3 audiophile radio off ebay with the subwoofer, i was thinking of putting component speakers in the front doors and they come with the crossovers, my question is do i have to have a seperate amp to power the component speakers or does the radio itself have the power to the speakers?

Yep RDS works fine on 5 of my six presets. If it were not for this thread and these answers I would have never known.

Thanks guys

I guess I could have read the manual but I never even thought of this rds feature until this thread.
