RDS data doesn't show on Z150BH

I have a Z150BH deck but I live in Canada where HD Radio is not available. The Z150BH is supposed to be able to display RDS data. However I don't see any song or radio station tags on my unit.

 

I know for sure that RDS is broadcast locally as I can get the tags in my other vehicle.

 

Is there a way to turn RDS on or off on the Z150BH? Does any know why I don't see the RDS data?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Nope. I emailed Pioneer directly about this exact issue a few weeks ago, they stated that the HD Tuner in the Z150BH isn't capable of picking up the RDS info on Analog.  Of course, they added this functionality on the NEX head units which have a new version of the HD Tuner.  Bastards.
