Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON
The abbreviation “EON” stands for Enhan-
ced Other Networks, which means that in-
formation is exchanged within a radio net-
work.
Many FM radio stations provide their ser-
vice area with traffic messages at regular
intervals.
Along with their programmes, all traffic pro-
gramme stations transmit a special carrier
signal, which is decoded by your car radio.
If this signal is identified, “TP” will appear in
the display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON
it is possible for them to forward the traffic
messages broadcast by another traffic pro-

This is useful if you would like to display the

This car audio system is equipped within a
built-in clock which automatically takes ad-
vantage of RDS to ensure highly accurate
time-keeping (hours, minutes).
For the clock to function properly with RDS,
an RDS station with the CT function (CT –
clock time) must be within reception range.
The automatic correction of the hours can
be switched off. Please be advised that not
all RDS radio stations currently transmit a
time signal (CT – Clock time).
