The service advisor told me that they do not have a fix for this issue, except to turn off RDS.
That's interesting to note. It seems like the encoded info sent from a station's RDS transmitter is not being properly decoded by the BMW unit. I'll ask the engineers around here if they have a fix for it. I've never had a problem with RDS on my '01 X5 w/ DSP.
