How do you use this function on the radio, I can select it in the menu and hit scan, but it stops on random stations with no traffic broadcast. I was reading about it on wikipedia, and it looks like with some implementations it can auto switch to a traffic broadcast.

Anyone use it?
 
I have it enabled, but all ive ever seen is radio station identification and the name + artist of the song.
 
If the station does not have RDS signals or something like that it wont display them.

Basically the station has to be compatible itself I believe.

Its in the manual.
 
Yes, it will auto switch, even when you are listening to a CD, but only if the stations are carrying the signal in your area. They don't in mine, but I had it trigger while driving through Texas once.
 
all of my stations do RDS for station name/song name and music genre, but never traffic, that sucks. I read the manual, and it also says RDS is not common in the US. Oh well, just curious if I was missing something.
