I don't believe that the COMAND supports RDS.

Euro Comands 2.0 have RDS. So anyone looking to add XM with a Euro Comand 2.0. This looks like the hot ticket.

I dont think this unit will ever come out. Audivox announced it a LOOOONG time ago but the RDS unit still hasnt come out. Crutchfield used to have it as a "pre-order" item but now I think they removed it because of the 6-8 month delay.

Somehow I doubt that it makes any difference unless you are suggesting that it uses a fixed frequency FM modulation to plug inline with the existing car antenna.

For it to show song names it would need to have full RDS support on the modulated signal.

I've read about it somewhere else and it says it has Full RDS Support. It will show station channel artist. We'll see!!!
