Well i used to have a mercedes C200k Wagon and it had rds and it worked
but the x5 rds wont work. It still says e.g. 101.9 instead of FOX FM like my old car

Did you turn it on? On the widescreen you switch RDS on and off with the INFO button.
Also go into service mode - on some radios you can disable RDS, make sure its not disabled.

How do i go into service mode?.
I have tried to activate rds using info but when i click RDS nothing happens.

Any thoughts?

Mine works OK, but there are only a few stations with RDS, and it takes a while for the message to scroll across the display under the speedo. I don't keep the nav screen on the radio display, but when I do it features RDS OK.

If RDS is listed then it is enabled.

I'd say faulty RDS decoder inside the radio.

Service mode = switch on, press INFO, press and hold softkey TP within the first 8 seconds of the radio being turned on

Where can i get a new RDS decoder, sorry which button is the TP softkey ?


Also what will service mode do?

RDS decoder = an integrated circuit inside the radio. This means a radio repair, you need to be an electronics tech to do this. May be easier to get a replacement radio.
TP softkey = the softkey labeled as 'TP'. It appears on the screen when you press INFO.

Service mode will show if you are receiving RDS data, you can observe PI code and RDS quality info

And nothing happened.

I put the key in then pressed INFO then held the right button with TP for a while and nothing happened
