Groucho:

I remember my first RDS experience on a road trip in a from memory around a 2003 Ford Focus.

 

 

I remember, as does everyone who was around in that era, the pre-RDS ARI. You'd be going down the motorway when your listening would be interrupted by "On the motorway X to Y at the junction Z, 40km traffic jam due to a jackknifed truck". And you'd think "we're on way to Y, and Z is just ahead... oh gawd no".

 

 

And the traffic jams were always tens of kilometers.

I had a Panasonic Head Unit - first I had with RDS, would auto change the frequency as you traveled finding the strongest signal for that particular station not sure why more units didn't do this after.  Being able to see the song playing with RDS info was great - shame its not done more.
