Exclamation RDS station names do not appear
Since a while I have a problem with my MK4 nav system.

When I listen to the radio I receive RDS information belonging to the station I am listening to, which is good.
In the past my radio showed the station name belonging to the station I was listening to, but als the names of the stations I was not listening to !

What could have changed this, and how to fix it ?

Welcome to the forum,

I think that the problem is that the RDS may have been turned off when you did your last update, go to menu, then traffic information and turn on RDS/TMC, this should sort it out, its under there somewhere, i just can't remember 100% where.

Hope this helps
