Calling RNS 510 owners.... RNS 510 vs RCD 310 ( no RDS? )

[cktsi]

I have just upgraded my RCD310 to an RNS510 in the Golf 6.

Since my new unit is aftermarket from dodgy eBay, I didn't receive the RNS510 manual. It seems as though the RCD310 can display RDS text (radio station as well as program details), but my RNS510 is not for Sydney radio stations. It's only displaying the radio station name.

It may be the short length of time I've owned the unit, but I thought morning & evening radio programs transmitted program details. 2Day, Mix I thought were particularly avid transmitters of RDS info (like "hamish & andy show")

I cannot find any options to configure RDS info in any menu, so I want to confirm if the RNS510 is a step backwards and does not display RDS text?

2Day, Triple M, and Mix usually scroll the name of the song playing.

You can buy the manual from Vw about $25 , But ive never seen songs named of FM , DAB+ yes but not FM.

At Ozgti... thanks for the link.

As for song titles on FM, doesn't happen all the time. Come to think of it, usually see that on Saturdays. But the show name usually does get broadcast for Kyle & Jackie O, Merrick & Rosso etc when those shows are on. The RCD310 displays those, but haven't seen any text on the RNS510 yet.

The manual implies that the text will automatically been displayed. Will see how it goes over the next few days, but I have become accustomed to seeing it on the RCD310.
