RDS available through COMAND?
Trying to figure out how to get the song titles to display on my COMAND screen in my 2008 E63.... I read through the COMAND manual and I cant find where it mentions the RDS feature...

I would be surprised if a car of this caliber doesnt have RDS when many lesser 10 year old cars even have it...

Any idea how to get the station name/ song title to display?

Thanks!

Thanks for the information! I was worried about that answer...

kind of disappointing a car as amazing as this doesnt have such a basic feature... My 10 year old BMW with a basic stereo headunit even did this... Oh well

For various COMAND version descriptions and upgrade options, I refer to:

All the different types of COMAND system

FAQ for Comand APS NTG2.5 (Hard Disk version)

Questions asked most about COMAND-APS

Its ironic since European Commands have had this feature since its inception
I had RDS on my 2004 C32 with Euro Command

Do an ntg2.5 retrofit, or swap out your existing comand for a euro comand unit.
