Linking between DAB and FM

The function makes it possible to change from an FM or DAB channel with poor or no reception to the same channel in another channel group (ensemble) with better reception, within DAB and/or between DAB and FM. DAB to DAB, DAB to FM and FM to DAB are all supported. Linking can be activated under Settings in the radio app.

Sorting

When DAB/FM linking is activated, the channel list only contains channels with good reception, and duplicates with poorer reception are removed, irrespective of whether it is an FM or DAB broadcast. When DAB/FM linking is not activated, the DAB channels are at the top in alphabetical order, followed by the FM channels sorted by frequency.

Quick commands

When the app is used, it can also be controlled via quick commands in the home view.

Radio messages

Different types of radio messages, e.g. traffic news and societally important information, can be set under settings in the radio app.

The radio app can be started via the centre display or with voice control.

Starting from the centre display

1. Start the radio app from the home view or app view .
2. Select the desired radio channel from the list of available radio channels, or from your favourites.

Starting with voice control

It is also possible to start FM radio using voice control by stating a frequency.

RDS radio

(Option/accessory)

RDS (Radio Data System) means that the radio automatically changes to the strongest transmitter. RDS provides the ability to receive e.g. traffic information and to search for certain programme types.

RDS links FM transmitters into a network. An FM transmitter in such a network sends information that gives an RDS radio the following functions:

• Switch automatically to a stronger transmitter if reception in the area is poor.
• Search for programme category, e.g. programme types or traffic information.
• Receive text information on a current radio programme.

Note
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only select parts of its functionality.

When broadcasting news or traffic messages, the radio can switch stations, interrupting the audio source currently in use. The radio returns to the previous audio source and volume when the set programme type is no longer broadcast.

Setting radio favourites

(Option/accessory)

It is possible to add a radio channel to the list of radio favourites that are shown as a separate tab in the radio app.

Radio Favourites

To save radio channels to your list of favourites, proceed as follows:

1. Open the radio app from the home view or app view.
2. Tap on the star  next to the radio channel that you want to add to your list of radio favourites. The star is then filled in blue to confirm the selection.
   • The radio channel is added to your list of favourites.

DAB channels sort into alphabetical order from the top, followed by the FM channels sorted by frequency.

To delete a radio channel from your list of favourites, tap on the star again. The blue fill disappears to confirm that the radio channel has been deleted from the list of favourites.

It is also possible to select and deselect favourites via the Now playing view which is accessed by expanding the Now playing field to full screen mode.
