Hello,
I am new, first-time
Porsche
owner. Purchased a 2006 base
Boxster
Tiptronic last weekend. It has upgraded
BOSE
stereo system, with base
CDR24
radio. I love the sound, but am trying to find out if I can disable the program information that shows for the radio stations. I've found that this feature is provided thru the Radio Data Broadcast (RDBS) function. I just want to see the radio frequency when I look at the radio faceplate - not all the other radio program information. Anyone know how to disable the RDBS? I've searched on the internet and can't find anything that helps. Thanks.
I am guessing that 18 months later, you are not still waiting on a reply, but I just went through the same exercise, and if it can be done, I do not know how. I found your thread in a search, so rather than call the wrath of the mods upon me ;-), I thought I might just add to your thread.
Most of the radio manual appears to be very poorly translated. There is a section that discusses the methods used to store stations (a 3 second button push, vs,. a 4 second button push) that I thought might be the ticket, but it does not. That feature appears to be a way to store sub-channels that are broadcast along with a stations primary frequency.
The section that does describe RDBS does not imply that the feature is in any way optional.
99% of the time, I listen to XM through 87.9, so RDBS is not an issue, but I had some XM issues recently such that I had to slum it with regular FM, and I find RDBS to be beyond worthless.
