I'm not seeing any RDS data on Non HD stations. This seems strange it would not show, from all I have read the radio is RDS capable.

Nobody with a Z130 can say whether or not they see RDS data for non HD stations?

Traffic Tuner per my understanding uses FM to broadcast data to the unit. So, as long as the connections are made correctly it should be able to receive traffic data and per my understanding most of the RDC stations are non HD.

Use this to see which stations are transmitting traffic data in your area.

Thanks, I know I am having issues with the traffic tuner based on another thread, I wasn't sure if the RDS transmissions (song name, station ID, etc) could be related since the traffic tuner is a separate unit but it might make sense an inoperative traffic tuner, if it is the RDS source, is the reason I don't see station ID's and song names on most of the stations.

Hey, I'm having the same issue... No RDS data on regular analog FM stations. I called Pioneer on it last week and the Tech Support rep tested on an X930BT. He found analog FM RDS worked fine on that unit. As long as the FM signal was received strong, the station info, artist etc. works fine. He's supposed to be hooking up a Z130BT and confirming with me the results soon.

All the specs on the Pioneer website say the radio supports RDS data so hopefully it's a setting or something. Will post the results.

i only get rds with HD stations?

I also do not get any RDS information on Analog stations. I do not know if it is station dependent.

My Z120 w/Z130 s/w does display some of the RDS tag info - in a very limited fashion. Seems like 8-10 characters that scroll (only the currently tuned station). Call sign, program/artist/song info usually. If/when I go down the preset list, it seems to remember and display the station's call-sign (instead of just the frequency) for some period of time. However, that info isnt permanently stored.

Is the real Z130's tuner different? This seems to be a common complaint. I hardly ever listin to the radio, but I made it a point to see if RDS was there. Note: I don't have an HD or RDS traffic tuner installed.

I don't think the Z130 has RDS on it, they may have removed it to support the HD Radio maybe?

my 110 with 130sw shows limited RDS tag info. Station dependent.
